Final Schedule Frenzy Turned Easy

With the last few weeks of school left, students’ stress levels are at an all-time high. That means students are either running to save a study room for their friends on campus to cram for finals or they are trying to figure out how many days they have to come on campus. No matter the circumstance for the student, everyone is pulling their hair out around this time. In the midst of all this, Montclair State University has created a new way to check the finals schedule times, which has ease...

Where Are All of Our Swipes?

As the semester comes to a close, students at Montclair State University search for any spare change as they walk toward the registers in the Student Center Cafe. Some students have already burned through their Flex and Red Hawk Dollars, forcing them to rely on swipes, another form of payment used in some of the dining locations on campus. As they stand in line, they may wonder how many swipes they have left. In previous years, getting this information was very simple in the palm of your hands w...

Poor Preparation Leads to Slippery Slope for Montclair State

The roads were slick with sheets of ice and slush as students were either helping each other or screaming inside their cars in frustration while stuck in traffic on Nov. 15.

As the first snowflake fell on the frozen pavement at the university, everyone stirred into feelings of panic and excitement. After a few hours, those stil...

Shhhh, I’m Trying To Study Here

With half of the semester already completed, Montclair State University students are in perennial “save my grades” mode. Students are either flying to Cafe Diem, Harry A. Sprague Library or someone’s dorm to study. There is only one issue with these study plans: if you need quiet to study instead of side chatter, the flicking of someone’s pen or someone chewing obnoxiously on their gum, then you might be out of luck. The root of student strife is the fact that Montclair S...

Moldy Montclair State Makes Mighty Mistake

Every student becomes excited to depart from their parents’ arms and to finally call their dorm room home. Let’s not forget to remind ourselves about how much money parents and students have to fork over to live on university campuses. But what happens when you start getting sick from mold that you did not even know was there and the university shrugs it off? As students reside in residence halls, it becomes a second home for them. Students invite their friends over, do homework and ...

Editorial: Judging a Bookstore on its Aisles

One of the biggest headaches all students have to deal with is getting their textbooks. Recently, the Montclair State University Bookstore tried to alleviate that stress by reorganizing their book collection from a course-based system to an alphabetical system. For years, the bookstore organized textbooks by course number and students could find all the textbooks needed for a course in one pile instead of having to go from shelf to shelf for each class. Starting the fall semester of the 2018-201...

Montclair State’s Mission Against Sexual Assault

As of recent, speculation has been tossed left and right as to if Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.

Editorial: Catfishing Calls

Meeting new people on campus can be difficult, especially when everyone is bopping around with headphones on or running to class. With dating apps like Tinder and Grindr, it makes finding a partner so much easier than meeting people in person. While there is a convenience aspect to these apps, there are also dangers that might make students hesitant to use them. Students all over Montclair State University are not strangers to applications like Tinder and Grindr. Both apps are used for the same ...

Editorial: CAPS on Lock?

Days come and go here at Montclair State University, but it seems like the stress and worry never go away when it comes to classes. Sometimes it feels like there is no way to get past the week, and you feel like no one can help. However, the university has a program implemented for students who may need counseling in order to assist them in any way. But are students aware of Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) existing on campus? For those who are not aware of CAPS, the department is al...
