CC senior William Maxfield, along with fellow CC seniors Jordan Kalms and Luke Mones, directed the following short film last semester.

From Chicano Caucus’ statement yesterday regarding the pictures from the Theta mixer (featured at the bottom of the post): Stereotypes are used to oppress marginalized communities.

But who is the main act, we hear you say? Bwog has been keeping our collective ear to the ground and this is what we’ve heard: Lupe Fiasco Probability: that the […]

One genius Carman resident decided to take room decor to the next level and got pretty HGTV on their dorm room.
