  The Charleston Southern Women’s track team is selling Krispy Kreme doughnuts!! Get them while they are hot!! (well you know what I mean)  The cost is $7 per dozen and the proceeds will go to help defray the cost for their trip to the New Balance Collegiate Invitational in New York City. This is a very important meet for our girls and the long travel makes the cost extra high. There are about 36 track ladies on campus trying to sell the beloved doughnuts. These are your ladies to go to for the goods. You have until Wednesday, October 12th to place your order. The delivery date will be soon after. If you can’t seem to find a team member to purchase from you can stop by and see Coach Tasha Ansley in her office in the field house and handle you...

With the fall semester in full swing the life of a college student can get a little hectic. What better way to relax and take a break than by taking a swim in our campus pool?  Not only can you relax but you can also enjoy the last of the warm Charleston weather before fall takes over.

CSU strives to stay current on new technology to provide better quality for our students. While some may think of salt water and think about the ocean, it’s not quite the same thing. Salt water pools are actually only a fraction as salty as the ocean. In a...

This is an attempt to help everyone better understand the where’s and whys of printing things on campus. Did you know that every new academic year each student is granted $11.25 worth of printing credit? Who knew?  So maybe you did know. It is clearly stated in the CSU Student Handbook, but maybe, like many, you missed that page.    Now that we have established how much you have to spend, let’s talk about how you spend it. The Library is, in most opinion, is the best place to go for printing. There are several options: All of the computers downstairs have Microsoft for creating and printing Word Documents etc., now, (Last year it was only a handful) and all of them are hooked up to the printers under the stairs. They are all pretty reliably hooked up...

What does the Student Government Association do for you? The Student Government Association President for the 2011-2012 academic year has some visions that will be exciting to see played out. Steven Bredesen, a senior political science major, has been involved with SGA since way back to his freshman year when he was a commuter.

What are some of the functions of SGA? Liaison between students and administrators “We are a part of the school entity.
