Tax season is one of the most hectic times of the year as everyone needs to make sure that all the numbers have been crunched right, all important documents are signed in the right places, and nothing is out of place. This is even more hectic for college students who are working on their Free Application for Federal Student Aid or FAFSA for short, as these very documents are vital for further education.

What’s a more critical issue? Rape or a parking violation? Violence or making sure the doors to a facility are locked? Clearly these are rhetorical questions but you wouldn’t be able to tell by the actions of Glenville’s Public Safety Department. Even here at little Glenville State College some ugly events are happening and the authorities seem to be turning a blind eye. In one of the previous issues I addressed the problem with parking. It is a tedious process that does need attention. However, [...]
