The Mazda RX8

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

There are few things in our lives that can really substitute for something else. Some people try to find a way to make up for things that they lack, and some find a way to do that for others.

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Why was Principia College football cancelled? After last week’s meeting, I’m still not exactly sure. In fact, I may be even more confused. On Dec. 1, when the announcement was made, it stated that the administration was unable to “identify both a fully qualified head coach and the proper number of student-athletes with football experience.”
