There is no better customer than the one that does not use your resources but still pays for service. Insurance companies thrive on this sort of person. Streaming services love when you forget you are even paying for them. College services, on the other hand, are made to serve, and their continued existence in a budget-strapped world demands it.
In his “Politics,” the philosopher Aristotle discusses that local government is most important and accountable in the maintaining of a virtuous life for its subjects.
On Sept. 6, the NFL hosted its first game in Brazil at Sao Paulo’s Neo Quimica Arena, where a sold-out crowd saw a shootout between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Green Bay Packers.
President Trump’s former primary opponent, Nikki Haley, predicted that whoever picked a younger candidate would win the race for the White House. The first sign of that prophecy’s ascent occurred on a debate stage in Philadelphia last week, as Donald Trump appeared as an “old man yelling at clouds” in contrast to Kamala Harris’s calm appearance. Harris had some help from the moderators, though it is hard to imagine Trump doing much better in a different setting when he spent time telling fantastical stories about immigrants “eating the pets.”
The father of a 14-year-old suspect accused of killing four and injuring nine others at a Georgia high school earlier this month was charged for negligence on his part to stop tragedy.

D., will have his first full-length semester as the school’s new provost and vice president of academic affairs.

In the 21 years I have served as adviser of The Slate, the student-run newspaper at Shippensburg University, I have never requested space in the publication for any reason. My role is, always has been and will continue to be in the background as adviser, mentor and cheerleader for the students who dedicate long hours to producing award-winning journalism.
With the 2024 presidential election quickly approaching, I have been reflecting on American democracy. There was once a time in my life where I was optimistic about the direction of our country and its politics. Now, that optimism is gone.
It is kind of insane that in just over a week I will be (hopefully) walking across the field of Seth Grove Stadium to receive my diploma and officially be a college graduate. I say hopefully because I do not want graduation indoors; my grades are… fine. When the adults in your life tell you that these four years fly by, they are not wrong. Maybe COVID-19 keeping much of campus closed for the first full year of my college career played a part in the passage of time being a nonexistent concept to me.
During my childhood, I had always felt drawn to the Disney Channel show “Hannah Montana.” One of my biggest inspirations is Miley Cyrus, but I never knew the genuine reason I cared so much. Of course I knew that she was talented, individualistic and, to some, a role model.
