Renovation funds should be evenly spread

By Zach Waltz Sports Assignment Editor For the first time next year, incoming freshmen will not experience the old, run-down Robinson and Falconio Halls that students before them have come to love.

Letter to the editor/OPINION

Letter to the Editor: Feb, 14 2014

In regards to an opinion piece, titled “Unapologetic WolfPack,” published online on Feb. 6, 2014.

Students need varied housing choices

Even numbers not always the best option for dorm life Many things come in even numbers.  Noah packed his ark with animals paired by twos.  Cars have four wheels.  Eggs are packed by the dozen.

The addition of a second Bona… Keep Reading

Bonnies must weigh in on Hickey happenings

This editorial represents the opinion of The Bona Venture staff. As students, we should be constantly challenging the status quo when it comes to food options in the Hickey.
