Off-campus drinking now allowed for students over 21

Beginning on July 1, students 21 and over may now consume alcohol without breaking SPU Lifestyle Expectations, as long as this activity takes place off-campus. President Philip W. Eaton made the announcement, which he referred to not as a change but as a “newly clarified policy,” in an e-mail titled “One Last Message of the Year.” He sent the message to all SPU faculty, staff and students on the morning of Friday, June 4.

Opinions

Seeking truth instead of obtaining answers

Things change. Over the past four years, I have seen friends come and go, graduate, drop out and get married. I have made friendships and watched them dissolve and fall apart. I have been in and out of love. I have switched majors multiple times. I have watched my faith go from being in crisis to non-existent to flickering once more.

Make summer vacation: live productively

If you cannot find a paid job (or even if you can), internships can be an enormously rewarding way to spend your summer. A number of internships in the Seattle area are part time and provide a huge resume boost, whether or not they are directly related to your major. Plus, if you find one in your field of interest, you could end the summer with a newfound knowledge of the industry, along with some helpful connections.
