Students missing from b-ball games

Additional spring concert fees unfair

Each semester, every Bradley undergraduate enrolled in more than nine credit hours is required to pay an $85 student activity fee, totaling $170 annually per student. This fund, totaling more than $850,000, is then distributed towards various events for the student body to enjoy, including…

Moratorium restricts freedom of college

As a senior, I have heard for almost four years how Bradley is attempting to decrease the use of alcohol by students. New policies and incentives have been enforced every year: Late Night BU, Task Force, mandatory need to register parties, and now this moratorium.…

Student turnout brings home court advantage

Dear Red Sea Members: On behalf of your basketball team, I want to thank you for the enthusiasm that you displayed Tuesday night versus ISU. Your energy was a key factor in helping to propel us to victory over the Redbirds! Just as each member…

Underage drinking law enforcement a step in the right direction

For the fifth year in a row, the Bradley University Wellness Program has been awarded the Enforcement of Underage Drinking Laws grant. In past years, the primary partner in this grant was the Peoria Police Department. In 2010-2011, the Bradley University Police were also a…
