Vote of confidence for campus SGAs
Most of us can remember the day when our parents demanded we clean our rooms, do our homework or stop fighting with our brothers or sisters. For the fear of being yelled at or grounded, we followed through with the chores. That precious time has since come and gone. It has left a burden on us to make responsible decisions affecting our own lives and the people around us. On Thursday, April 5, full-time students with 12 or more credits will have the choice to vote in the Lawrenceville SGA elections. Westminster students will get their chance on Tuesday, April 17.

Junior Don Fisch is a good example of how something like that works. He entered the wrestling NCAA Championships on March 15 unseeded as a runner-up from the 141-pound weight class at the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Championships on March 3, and finished the tournament in fifth place for his weight class. ...
