As college students, sometimes we are not afraid of something happening to us on campus, but still, we must be aware of our surroundings.

Should students be able to drive to classes after 6 p.m. without worrying about getting a ticket? -- It’s 5:45 p.m. The sun began setting well over an hour ago. But it’s time to head out to your 6 p.m. class -- that won’t end until 8:40. The weather is brisk, crisp, and the wind is sha...

Filed under Opinion & Editorials
This week my friends and I witnessed an altercation on campus late at night. What at first appeared to be a male student attacking a female student turned out to be a male student restraining his female friend who was in hysterics.

By Anonymous I never thought there was not enough security on campus but then it slowly became clear to me that I did not feel completely safe.

I am going to start off with a few numbers unrelated to this editorial topic. First off, there are only three weeks left of school. This is the second to last issue of The Charger Bulletin.

Filed under Opinion & Editorials
Ignorance is bliss – well, that’s what we’ve all been told. And up until last week, I would have happily agreed with that phrase. However, a recent news story got me thinking about all of the problems that result from being misinformed and unaware. On Jan. 21, a commuter plane en route from...
