Eastern conference preview continued

Jenfrin Rodriguez Sports Editor With a small portion of the teams in the Eastern Conference covered last week, there are still some left unaccounted for. Among those is the Miami Heat. They have improved the roster from a year ago and their play to this point is a clear indication of it. The Heat are currently in a four way tie for first place in the east with a 5-1 record at the moment. The acquisition of Kyle Lowry has been a great fit for the team. Although Goran Dragic wa

Name, Image and likeness rule for the NCAA

Ray Olivier Anchor Staff The NCAA is worth over $20 billion, as it was last reported to be worth $18.9 billion two years ago in 2019. Each year the juggernaut is under contract with multiple television, commercial marketing and equipment companies in which they receive a pre-determined revenue, based on the success of each. What is a factor of said success of each company? The performance and relatability of the athletes producing content for the NCAA. The NCAA recruits athle

We need to treat every missing person's case like Gabby Petito.

Mia Raspanti Opinions Editor The disappearance of Gabby Petito was one of the most publicized and tragic events of this year. Having gone missing on Sept. 11, the 23 year olds’ remains were eventually found in Grand Teton National Park, where her and her killer, fiancee Brian Laundrie, were camping just a few weeks prior. This tragedy became significantly more calamitous upon the discovery of nine other missing people. The mobilization of the Petitio Movement placed an emphas

Class elections are having a run-off

Raymond Baccari News Editor PROVIDENCE, R.I., — The class elections held earlier this month on Oct. 13 will have some run-offs, starting immediately. One potential reason for the need for run-off elections could be attributed to lack of candidates running the first time. Not enough candidates running then results in these positions being empty, even though they must be filled. The declaration period for students interested in running is officially open and will close on Nov.

Carriuolo supported the idea and the campus started off with

The Loathsome Tooth

Sh-Ron Almeida In the middle of the night I awakened to immense discomfort Throbbing like an erratic heartbeat, my back tooth aches Infection mercilessly claws through my gums Bacteria attacking the enamel armor The remedies are just a temporary solution My pained cries become louder as I long for sleep The cavity robbing me of my senses I hate feeling this way, a sense of helplessness Lost hours, lost energy, stolen But it won’t last forever I will part ways with this pain s
