Tim Ajmani The Corsair My old high school principal’s huge motto for my senior year was “choices.” How do I remember that? He only mentioned it a couple thousand times before I graduated, which got quite boring and repetitive to say the least. But, he had a critical purpose in stressing this. A high school...

Tim Ajmani The Corsair This summer has been a nightmare for many athletic programs in the NCAA. Prestigious universities in the country, including Ohio State University and the University of North Carolina, have had their names and reputations tarnished by sports scandals.

My old high school principal’s huge motto for my senior year was “choices”. How do I remember that?

Machiavelli’s ideas mostly come up when discussing political polices like dictatorship, or when something is accomplished through whatever means are deemed necessary.

Dylan Threadgill The Corsair My first thought after I was told that the college was implementing a Bright Ideas Week at Pensacola State College was ‘what about the students?’ After hearing of little feedback from staff I decided to ask students that exact question. “What do you think would make Pensacola State…better?” Holly Dunn, a...
