SCOUT SENIOR COLUMNS

So it’s finally here. As a senior, I have long-awaited the end of school, through the long days of class and long nights of homework. But at the same time, I don’t want these college memories to end. I came to Bradley in fall 2012…

SCOUT SENIOR COLUMNS

Walking through campus last week for a group meeting, it finally hit me. I looked up and realized how beautiful this place is. Although, I did question if Bradley actually spray paints its grass that beautiful green color. No, I’m not going to appreciate the…

Student newspaper is not public relations

For those of you who don’t know: The Scout is a student-run, student-produced newspaper. And we will continue to do things this way. In the past few weeks, we’ve received criticism from members of the administration and Bradley staff for the way we do things.…

Letter to the Editor: Scout Sports needs to consider all BU teams

A biased newspaper is something that should never be printed. Every activity or occurrence that is relevant to Bradley University should have equal opportunity to be covered and reported on. I have never seen so much unbalanced coverage in a sports section as I do…

Editorial 3.7.14: Big campus problems can’t be ignored

We know that the Michel Student Center didn’t fail the Peoria City/County Health Department inspection. The facility is clean, and it’s more than safe to eat there. But if the Student Center food serving areas scored below an acceptable level for four times in a…
