Editorial: Outage services should have been more clear

March 15, 2012

It's possible several on-campus buildings will still lack power by Thursday morning – power that's been out since late Tuesday – meaning there will still be students sleeping on couches and in Cabot Center cots. Though the university has provided amply for these students,...

Editorial: Administration’s handling of financial aid needs clarity

March 1, 2012

President Joseph Aoun announced he is not in favor of tuition freezes – an idea that’s been thrown around in local and national politics lately – at a Student Government Association Senate meeting last Monday. Instead, he said he supports a financial aid increase to accompany...

Editorial Column: “Have-nots” and “soon-to-haves”

March 1, 2012

My two main sources of news since I’ve moved to the states from Ireland have been E! News and Fox News. This means I know exactly what Kim Kardashian is up to but I am also morally outraged by it. During a Fox News binge I stumbled upon a speech by Republican party member Marco...

All Hail: Husky hockey keeps up the inconsistency

March 1, 2012

Let’s talk about hockey. Not the Bruins, and not the recent Max Nicastro scandal down on Commonwealth Avenue, but good old in-our-own-backyard Husky hockey. You know the kind:  disappointing, then hope-inducing, then extraordinary… and then heartbreaking again. We saw the...

Editorial Column: Anti-LGBT Chick-fil-A not the right choice

February 23, 2012

People really like fried chicken, huh? Last week, the Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. Laura Wankel announced renovations to the Curry Student Center consisting of expanded seating and potential new restaurants, including a Chick-fil-A, which would be the southern fried...

Response: SGA reliant on student feedback

February 23, 2012

The Student Government Association would like to take this opportunity to address the editorial published in last Thursday’s edition of The Huntington News. As an organization, it would be foolish of us not to recognize that there is always room for us to grow and improve....

Letter: Chick-fil-A a bigoted organization

February 23, 2012

I read in the Huntington News that Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. Laura Wankel announced a planned renovation of the CSC, where Chick-fil-A will be one of the new vendors. I am appalled at Northeastern as a community for allowing such a bigoted organization to become a...

Letter: NU Idol a chance for NU stardom

February 23, 2012

Seniors, have you ever wondered what it would be like to try out for “American Idol”? Here's your chance. On Thursday, March 1, the Senior Class Advisory Board is hosting NU Idol, an annual competition among talented Northeastern Seniors for chance to sing the National Anthem...

Editorial: Campus Internet outages unacceptable

February 23, 2012

Over the past two weeks, students flooded social media with complaints about the university’s Internet network going down sporadically, sometimes for up to an hour. Officially, the network was down twice according to Director of Communications Renata Nyul. Students on Twitter...

Editorial: SGA semester off to slow start, more advocacy needed

February 16, 2012

Early this month, the Student Government Association (SGA) put little red arrows around campus, pointing at their accomplishments. Many, if not most, of these red arrows are pointing at changes made in years past like Outtakes and Rebecca’s Cafe, which makes sense – SGA hasn’t...
