BEEP BEEP BEEP
Nothing quite ruins a blissful study break (read: nap) like the piercing screech of a fire alarm. Students file out of the building, annoyed at the interruption to their day. They blearily mill about, waiting for West Brow Fire Rescue to clear the building. Both fire related incidents this semester, one in Mac and one in Founders, were due to burnt popcorn.
After much consideration, Covenant College has decided to shorten the core curriculum course list. The core credits previously required to graduate was 58 credits; now the total core credit hours required is 52. These revisions will take effect in the fall 2026 semester.

It’s a classic Christmas movie scene—the greedy kid rushes through the store, pointing at toy after toy and demanding all of it. All of a sudden, he passes a tired mom with a toddler, bending to put back a can of soup. The toddler wriggles in her arms, and she drops the can, and the well-meaning kid picks it up and puts it in her cart. A shadow crosses the woman’s face as she says, “Thanks, but we can’t afford it.”
Grab to Go, the popular new lunch option at Covenant, is causing a plastic pile-up.
“I haven't been getting grab-and-go as much because I am worried about how much plastic there is,” said Chloe Luce, a junior in the Student Apartments, “I am so conscious of how much waste I have in the world.”
November 1. The leaves are orange, the air is crisp, and pumpkins are on doorsteps. However, into this autumnal paradise creeps the sounds of sleigh bells. My friends start singing Christmas music, and my social media feed is full of influencers celebrating Christmas. It seems we have all forgotten Thanksgiving. While starting Christmas festivities early can be alluring, I invite you to stop for a second and consider the value in waiting to celebrate Christmas.

Most casual college football fans in the world know about the big teams that have routinely dominated the sport. This could be schools like Georgia, Notre Dame and Ohio State. But for those who are truly in the loop on college football, there exists an entirely different tier of Division I football entitled the FCS (Football Championship Subdivision), as opposed to the aforementioned FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision). Apart from the FCS being a lower tier of D1 football, there are quite a few differences. These are, namely, fewer scholarships allocated for each athlete, much smaller schools and stadiums, different conferences and a completely different playoff.
In November, the last of the Scots fall sports wrapped up their seasons after making some noise around the conference.
On Saturday, September 6, 2025, the entire Ole Miss fanbase watched the Rebels’ starting quarterback, Austin Simmons, come off the field with an apparent ankle injury.
