By Bryan Anderson

Throughout the course of the 2016 presidential election, heavy discussion has taken place concerning the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primaries.

Put more importance on SGA elections

 

Around this time of year, seeing frantic yet determined students walking around campus with a packet and pen in their hands asking random students for their signature is very common. Often, students comply without hesitation, adding their name to a list of other students without asking many questions. They go on with their day.

Freshman men's basketball forward finds balance in his game

By Jordan Spritzer

Local healthcare clinic provides lifeline to uninsured Alamance County residents

Alamance County resident Valerie Epperson said she doesn’t think she would be alive right now if it were not for the Open Door Clinic of Alamance County, a clinic that provides free healthcare to people who do not have insurance. “When I first started, my diabetes were out of control, and I was just eating anything I wanted. It’s like, I just didn’t care,” Epperson said. “When you have someone there to help you, it keeps your mind open all the time about, ‘Hey, you need to do this. You need to stop doing this.’”
