Hello everybody and welcome back to our fourth issue of the semester!
In this issue we discuss a bunch of exciting happenings around our campus community, beginning with news where we cover the opening of Manhattan University’s newest dining option, Clucksters. Personally, I enjoyed the food I’ve gotten from there thus far, but I will forever mourn the loss of Cafe 1853 nachos. It was super fun to hear campus’ thoughts for this article through the poll we posted on our instagram account – be sure to follow for more updates on the Quad (and more exciting content to come!)
Next, our Manhattan Caucus does a wonderful job of giving a rundown of the latest news concerning the Epstein Files case – give it a read to catch up!
In features, we discuss the HGI Center welcoming founder of Muslims for Progressive Values (MPV), Ani Zonneved, to campus to give a lecture concerning feminism and social justice in Islam. On a similar note, MU’s social justice focused group, JustPeace, held an event last week where they collaborated with local group Northwest Bronx Indivisible to lead a brainstorming session surrounding social change. Finally, introduce yourself to the new Yoga Club on campus with the last article in our features section.
Up next in A&E we start off with my own article covering Brother Ralph’s new exhibit in the library, as well as the library’s plans on opening up their exhibition space for submissions from the broader community. Br. Ralph’s sculptures are impressive and beautiful, and I had such a great talk with him in order to write this article – if you have the chance to stop by, take the time to do so! The exhibit will be up until March 1 in O’Malley Library, immediately to the right of the entrance. Next, we cover MU’S Pipes and Drums, and their plans for their upcoming year.
Finally in sports, we cover the cheerleading team’s struggles in getting to Nationals. This story has a few different parts to it that I do not think I am able to properly summarize in this letter, so if you can only read one article from this issue, let it be this one. Finally, we give a quick recap of softball and basketball’s unfortunate losses throughout the week.
That’s all for this issue – be sure to check out these stories, and see you next time!
