USA Today approached the College on Feb. 6 to implement its Collegiate Readership Program, which would make USA Today, The New York Times and The Times of Trenton available to students at the College. However, the company that owns USA Today has reportedly financially undermined and acquired student newspapers on at least two university campuses where the Collegiate Readership Program has been accepted, as reported by The New York Times and the Inside Higher Ed Web site.

A deep-rooted fear was churning my stomach as I walked through the Kendall Hall TV studio doors on Feb. 13.

[…]
Trends in the modern music industry are making the prospect of career musicianship for aspiring acts worse. It used to be that talent alone was enough for an artist to make a living practicing their craft, but it seems that era has passed.
The pressures of marketing, dollar amounts and the bottom line arguably have pushed aside the significance of both the music itself and the deep-rooted feelings it conveys. […]
Any avid readers of nj.com or the Newark Star-Ledger are probably, by now, well versed in Gov. Jon S. Corzine’s plan for the economic revitalization of the Garden State.
One of the more controversial elements of Corzine’s four-step plan is Corzine’s plan to increase tolls on all N. […]
The Garden State Student Alliance (GSSA), an association of student trustees from New Jersey public colleges and universities, created a petition to be sent to the State House regarding the restoration of funding for higher education.
The petition – which has received 640 signatures from students at the College and over 500 signatures from students at Ramapo College and at Rowan University – is intended to call the attention of state governing bodies to both the effects of the sustained cuts made to the 2006 state fiscal budget and students’ rights to an affordable education, according to Jenna Klubnick, student trustee at the College.

As students wandered into the Rathskeller (Rat) on the afternoon of Dec. 1, many were taken aback by the sights and sounds of students reading prose, poetry and performing music.

The houselights dimmed, and the southern-tinged voice of Ryan Adams was immediately propelled from the massive speakers at New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom, accompanied by looping synth samples and pounding bass.
It seemed like an odd introduction for alternative/country rock’s prolific resident badass and his band of virtuosos; but after all, it was Halloween in the city, and mass-weirdness was already afoot with the setting of the sun on West 34th Street. […]
An outside security company has been contracted by the College for 24-hour security detail at the Travers/Wolfe halls’ security desks. The guards, as employees of U.S. Security Associates Inc., are not instructed to use force in dealing with breaches of security in the dormitories. […]
Often times, a good indie record can be spoiled by a band that tries to squeeze as much noise as possible into its songs, or drowns its effects-laden guitars in an abyss of reverb to a point where they are unrecognizable.
