JAMES LILLIN Staff Writer It’s March 10, 2016, my 21st birthday and my first time going downtown. It’s a clear, warm night, with the promise of spring budding from the newly defrosted grass around the town fountain. My friends and I are laughing, sharing jokes and stories as we walk......

“How did you even find Fredonia?” This is a question a lot of people ask me. Being an international student from Hong Kong one might think the chances of me finding Fredonia is slim to none. I first came to Fredonia because of the co-op engineering program. Even if......

CLAIRE O’REILLY Life & Arts Editor In light of recent events relating to sexual assault in Hollywood and in our own backyards right here in Fredonia, I struggle to find the right way to express just how I am feeling. If I had to sum it up: helpless, outraged,......

Another gun editorial Just over a month ago, 58 people were slaughtered in Las Vegas when Stephen Paddock opened fire on a crowd of 22,000 concertgoers. The tragedy claimed not only the lives of innocent people, but also the title for the deadliest mass shooting in American history. Surely......
