Hellooo wonderful readers and welcome to issue 12!
This is our second to last issue of the semester, to be followed by our SPECIAL ISSUE! (and issue 13, but that’s not quite as exciting.) Please be on the lookout for this issue on stands next week, because we’re in print!
Now without further ado, let’s get into this week’s issue. First in news, we cover a group of Manhattan University students and their project Aircraft Enhanced Resilience and Intelligence Systems (A.E.R.I.S.), which has been selected as a finalist in N.A.S.A. ‘s Gateways to Blue Skies Competition. To be recognized by N.A.S.A. is such an impressive feat – congratulations to the team! Next, our Manhattan Caucus provides a run-down of the current tension between the White House and Pope Leo XIV – give it a read if you’re interested!
In features, we start off with a story by Laili and I, covering Black Student Union’s Pop the Balloon event. When I saw this flyer on campus, I couldn’t believe it was an actual event happening at our school, and Laili and I had to cover it – the event ended up being a huge hit on campus and was a ton of fun to watch! Definitely give this one a read for a good laugh. We end off with a Voices on the Quad column, asking students about the recent surge in hot weather and subsequent activity on campus.
Next in A&E, we start off with coverage of Jadakiss’ performance at Springfest. Being able to watch, meet and speak to Jadakiss was an incredible opportunity – give this a read to see what he had to say after his show! Following that, we cover MU’s first ever Sixth Borough Film Festival, which took place last week. This festival was a culmination of months of hard work from students and staff which definitely paid off. Finally, you can read more about poet Jason Schneiderman coming to campus as part of MU’s Major Author Reading Series, where he read aloud a few of his poems.
In our final section, we cover the golf teams at MU and their expected performances at the upcoming MAAC tournament in Florida (at Disney’s golf course, mind you. Can you believe that?!) Then, you can read about softball and baseball’s recent performances with our games of the week.
That’s all for now – thanks for reading!
See you all next week (in print!),
