Language learning in today’s society is frequently limited to textbooks, memorization and classrooms. However, at Augustana College, active language-focused clubs like the Spanish and French Clubs provide students with opportunities to enhance and cultivate their language skills in engaging, culturally rich environments. These clubs offer ample chances for practical use and cultural immersion, prompting the question: Can they meet Augustana’s language requirement spanning two years?

On a college campus, the only thing more constant than tests and caffeine runs is the buzz of notifications: texts, Snaps, endless TikToks and never-ending emails. Screens have become the ideal third roommate, always hanging out, demanding attention and even influencing your day. However, many students are discovering an antidote to this fast-paced, always-on lifestyle: a “digital detox.” Yes, that’s right: shutting everything down.

In an effort to reduce possible theft, the recent removal of bags from the on-campus convenience shop (often known as the “C-Store”) has sparked disagreement among students, particularly those living in Westerlin Hall. Some say that the change will help prevent shoplifting, but this remedy fails to address the basis of the problem and adds an annoyance with no obvious benefits. As a frequent visitor to the C-Store, I chatted with students and staff to learn how this change has affected both sides.

Imagine checking your student account and seeing an unexpected bill — one unrelated to your tuition, housing or food plan but for damage caused in a communal space. When the accountable individual fails to come forward, many colleges, including Augustana, have adopted the practice of spreading damage charges among all occupants of a certain dorm or building.

Augustana College has implemented a revised schedule that includes a specific “free period” from 1 to 2 p.m., a time for extracurricular activities, lunches and much-needed breaks. The goal of the altered timetable is to improve the quality of life for students. This move appears to be a win-win for the pupils at first look. Who wouldn’t appreciate having an hour to relax between courses, grab a bite to eat or catch up with friends?

Students at Augustana College manage more than just textbooks and deadlines. Many are handling part-time jobs, both on and off campus, to fund living expenses, tuition and other obligations. But we have to ask ourselves, is Augustana providing adequate assistance for its working students, given the complexity of today’s student life? Given that over half of American college students work while they complete their degrees, this question is especially crucial.

While schools have progressed to a digital landscape following the COVID pandemic, some Augustana classes impose technology bans inside the classroom. Should more classrooms go screen-free to create a more equal learning environment? Would this change ensure the inclusion of every single student around campus? Many contend that prohibiting electronics levels the playing field and makes sure that no student benefits from having access to the newest technology.

La maladie du chancre coloré est causée par un champignon microscopique vasculaire, Ceratocystis platani, originaire d’Amérique du Nord, décrit pour la première fois en 1929. Dans un délai de deux à cinq ans, l’arbre atteint meurt inéluctablement, car aucun traitement n’existe à ce jour. Le pathogène touche des arbres en bonne santé, en pénétrant dans les tissus vivants à la faveur d’une blessure.
