reDefine backs Ignite for SGA runoff

From the time the reDefine team formed until the Student Government Association attorney general announced we got 1,248 votes to come in third in the general election, we stuck to a simple mantra: people, not politics. It was our lifestyle. We decided early on that, to live by our mantra, we had to treat members [...]

CANDIDATE VOICES: Charles Hicks for reDefine

#followthecouch. A few weeks ago, a couch appeared at the University. It had a Twitter account, a Facebook page, a hashtag, and soon it was the talk of the campus. The University’s official Facebook page went so far as to post a picture of it. And the questions started. What is it? Why is it [...]

OUR TAKE: Less than 35 percent

We get it — the economy is in the crapper.
