Onorato: Rally House: The hoodie ghost town

The Whit

When I had found out sometime last year that Rally House would be replacing the beloved Barnes & Noble (B&N), I was deeply upset. Now that the semester is in full swing, I’ve adjusted to this new norm. But I don’t think they’ll make it long term. This is purely anecdotal, but I never see...

Messer: Reading is not an inconvenience

Is social media ruining relationships? Rowan students weigh in

The Whit

A like on an ex’s picture, a delayed text response or a partner’s growing follower count can become an unexpected source of tension in a relationship or situationship.

Sara’s Screenings: “Edward Scissorhands”

The Whit

Misunderstood, sharp man meets ethereal woman. In this creature tale by Tim Burton to get you in the Halloween mood, we meet Edward Scissorhands, played by Johnny Depp, who is so gentle and genuine with a tougher exterior with literal scissors for fingers.
