My name is Betty, and my friend Marina has hired me to write the article from my viewpoint. I am a Ford Focus, and I have to say that dear old Adrian College needs a lot more parking. Sometimes, I see big burly men walking out of the Merillat. They have muscles that make...
1 in 176 million. These are odds that most people would not find in their favor. However, as a staggering number of tickets were sold throughout this week for the $640 jackpot, people did not seem to have these odds in mind. You have a better chance of winning an Academy Award, being killed...

Have you heard about the rumor that there’s a pretty important election coming up soon? The one for both class representatives and the leaders of the Student Government Association?
