Drug usage continues to lurk

It’s Friday night and before going out to the bars, students gather with their friends to “pre-game.” A few partner up to play beer-pong. Others sit on the couch and smoke a bowl. It’s nothing out of the norm. But behind the closed doors of the bedroom, some friends snort a few lines of coke. One of your friends may even plan to slip a roofie into someone’s drink that evening.

By The Stylus Editorial Board

Over the last few months there have been a lot of changes at our college. Most recently, the school’s logo was changed, as was the very name of the school. SUNY Brockport is now known as the College at Brockport State University of New York.

Phew! What a mouthful! Congratulations, you now attend the longest named college in the SUNY system.

Our new logo is a green and yellow shield with a torch and the year 1835 on it. We understand that is symbolizes knowledge, but we find ourselves asking, what was wrong with the old logo?

Greece Mall takes on minor policy

By Amanda Seef
NEWS EDITOR

Another social norm has been quelled, as Greece Ridge Mall has restricted the entrance of some patrons. Beginning March 28, anyone under the age of 19 will be required to have a parental escort into the mall after 4 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.

There will be security guards throughout the mall to check the IDs of those that appear to be under the age of 19.
Though most of the Brockport College is currently over the age of 19, this may pose a problem for most freshmen and some sophomores.
