Mitch McConnell froze for about 30 seconds during a press conference in the Capitol. Unsurprisingly, this has happened before. The late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who passed away while in office on Sep. 29 at the age of 90, made headlines earlier this year for giving up her power of attorney […] read more » CollegeBoard’s new digital SAT is a step toward accessibility and sustainability — so don’t snap your pencils yet October 14, 2023 — by Amy Miao and Beverly Xu The SAT plans to go digital next spring for U.S. students after finding success piloting the digital version in the U.S. and internationally in 2021.

Nevertheless, many students are skeptical of […] read more » Climate change leaves minorities at risk due to lack of home insurance October 1, 2023 — by Sanjoli Gupta As most of us remember, wildfires ravaged California in 2020. The skies around the Bay Area turned red from the smoke, and as homeowners and communities scrambled to recover, even more devastating news occurred.

This is the main selling point of one of Brown’s pre-college programs — Summer@Brown — and other […] read more » 100-word rant: What do people see in MacBooks anyway? September 29, 2023 — by Alec Guan There’s an infestation of Mac users. While there are other quality laptops on the market (ahem, Windows), somehow people choose the most expensive and least efficient option. MacBooks can cost upwards of $2,000, which is insane when you consider that a $2,600 Macbook Pro performs worse than a Windows laptop half its price in terms […] read more » Why cutting clubs — and expecting more of the remaining ones — makes sense September 29, 2023 — by Saachi Jain During this year’s Club Rush, the quad was more packed than ever.

As murmurs spread during the evacuation, the lower field was so hot that some students were moved from the field and rested on the track instead.
