A student recounts Oct 28 as a series of misfortunes from failing to print Campus Capsules to a dramatic breakdown in a green 1970 Buick on Garth Road. After a wrecked drive, broken car, odd calls, and a frazzled trek home, the narrator ends by admitting bed was the safest retreat.
Barbara Wadley, mother of Eddie Wadley LC student injured in a Sept 26 car wreck, writes on how the incident changed his life. Eddie, 19, was struck by a drunk driver at a red light near a McDonald’s. He was thrown from the car, pinned under a street sign in a fire ant infested ditch while a friend called his parents.
A letter-writer questions reactions to a lion attack and a child’s near harm, noting a driver’s fear of punishment, while reporting the Hernandez girl at the flea market has been put to sleep and an 8-inch pipe used in the assault was removed. The author recalls a man moving his grandmother and trying to brighten his mother’s birthday as a quiet, troubled night unfolds.
In a campus piece, Dean Ed Monk notes the former student lounge in Moser Hall is off limits due to past misuse while Kyle Jennings highlights the reception room as a busy meeting space. Dr. Vivian Blevins suggests surveying for a lounge site, though reservations stay full, and alumni reflect on liability and policy.
A reflective piece urges readers to form informed opinions on stock market shocks and world events.

The author links vigilance in finance to broader geopolitical awareness and democratic participation.
