A message from the editor-in-chief:
Hi everyone,

In this issue, you can find stories regarding events for this upcoming semester. On the front page, we have two interesting stories regarding school theft, unbeknownst to most students. Look to our sports pages as the winter sports head into tournament play. And as the winter chill settles in, the story you’ll find in the features section gives helpful tips on how to stay healthy through the season.

As always, thanks for reading.
