A new fiscal year may be approaching, but after the College’s Board of Trustees’ final public meeting on April 26, the song remains the same — state aid is low, tuition is increasing and being able to afford admission is only getting more difficult.

Patrons of the College’s “fun.ival,” sponsored by Student Government and the College Union Board, were treated to a spirited and passionate performance by the indie-pop band, fun., on Friday night.

College comes to a point where the unadulterated fun comes to an end, and we need to reflect a little on who has helped us get to where we are.

My New Year’s resolution for 2011 was simple – no regrets.
I have stuck to it to the best of my ability thus far, but as I near graduation and remember the good, bad and ugly times borne out of four years of giving just enough of a shit to get by, it has not always [...]

A few songs into Bayside vocalist Anthony Raneri’s acoustic set, the Rathskeller floor sang the refrain.
“Who let this feeling die?” was the question posed during the chorus of “Duality,” one of the band’s more popular tracks, and as the several dozen fans huddled near the stage, backing Raneri’s voice, it was clear that the casual [...]

A few weeks ago, I was met with the question I have repeatedly answered since I began listening to hardcore/heavy metal music several years ago: “Why/how do you listen to this?” More articulately, due to the abrasive nature of the vocals and instrumentals, what pleasure do I gain from having my ears filled with screaming [...]

The College continued its tradition of excellence on the national stage this past weekend, crowning two All-Americans at the NCAA Division III Championships.
Seniors Justin Bonitatis and Mike Denver each earned their second All-America honor, finishing fifth and sixth at 165 and 184 pounds, respectively, maintaining the Lions’ streak of 38 consecutive years with at least [...]

Despite a second-place finish and a failed title defense in the Metropolitan Conference Championships at King’s College on Sunday, the No. 12-ranked Lions still qualified five wrestlers for the NCAA Division III Championships, a considerable consolation.
“We were there to win, and we are never happy when we don’t but I thought we did a great [...]

As I walked around Manhattan, celebrating a friend’s birthday this past weekend, I judged.
From storefronts, I blindly guessed restaurants to be expensive or affordable. From banners and colored lights, I considered bars and clubs to be upscale or seedy dives. From the counter, I judged a Lower East Side McDonalds for still having Fruitopia as [...]

I am a New York Knicks fan, but you wouldn’t know it. I outgrew the last of my blue and orange apparel many years ago and before this year, I had not given the team serious interest since the days of Allen Houston and Latrell Sprewell.
Over the past decade or so, I have developed a [...]

As a senior in my final semester at the College, I often consider which aspects of my four years in Ewing have shaped my college experience. I search the back walls of my mind for meaningful phrases spoken by professors, extra-curricular accomplishments and chaotic nights of drinking and diner-ing, but I always seem to [...]

After seeing their own win streak fall on the road last week, the No. 12-ranked College returned the favor at home against No. 10-ranked Centenary College on Friday.
Led by three consecutive pin falls at 165, 174 and 184 pounds, the Lions bested their opponents 25-17, snapping a streak of 11 consecutive dual-meet victories for the [...]

With only one dual meet remaining before the Metropolitan Conference Championships, the No. 14-ranked College’s 14-meet win streak fell at the hands of No. 23-ranked Delaware Valley College 21-16 on Monday.
The win streak that stood for nearly a month was erased in the College’s (18-2) final bout, a 9-2 lost decision by an otherwise reliable [...]

As nationals near, the business of winning carries an increasing amount of weight, and after four more victories this weekend, adding to a now 13-dual meet win streak, winning has become business as usual for the Lions.
The No. 14-ranked College hosted Springfield College in its most recent match, downing the Pride 27-15.
Freshman Steve Godine continued [...]
