Freshmen have to make a choice this semester

quarantine areas Only students who show “a demonstrated institutional need and are approved to live on campus” will be able to live in residence halls starting Aug. 15, according to the letter. An institutional need includes students with certain financial situations, first-generation college students and students who have in-person, on-campus jobs. This also includes students with an ADA accommodation, international students and students who have face-to-face courses. A full list of exceptions can be found in the letter.

There is no question that this fall is going to look different. Classes, football games and even parties will all have changed. This might leave freshman uncertain as to whether or not they should come to college. For some, postponing college could be an extremely viable option, maybe even the best option. On the other hand, some freshman might not want to delay their studies and come to campus to try and get what they can of the Coug experience. Every student is different, but there is still value in taking part in the college experience this fall. Let’s look at why students might not want to come. As WSU’s administrators have mentioned already, the university will be implementing a “Hyflex” model this coming semester, comprised of both in-person and online classes. Classes with 50 or more students will be online while the delivery

The WSU Pullman campus will be offering all undergraduate classes remotely with very few in-person exceptions, according to a letter WSU officials published today. WSU will announce information about graduate classes by Aug. 1. Delivery options for class schedules will be finalized Aug. 1, said Phil Weiler, WSU’s Vice President for Marketing and Communications. Students who will have
face-to-face courses can either come to Pullman for fall or take those classes another semester. “Students, if you can stay at your permanent residence during this current phase of the COVID 19 outbreak, please continue progressing toward your degree from home,” the letter states. The university is also asking students who live in an area with a high transmission rate to stay home. Areas have a high transmission rate when there are more than 10 positive COVID-19 cases for every 100,000 residents over a 7-day period, according to the letter. Housing and designated

Dante's Deals opened a storefront display on Main Street in Pullman seven years after Dante Ludlow created his online business.
WSU student sells clothing, sportswear, shoes on eBay; business expanded to storefront By Cheryl Aarnio Evergreen reporter
For Dante Ludlow, it all started with a pair of $20 Air Jordans. Dante’s Deals, his eBay store, sells vintage clothing, sportswear and some collectibles. The business opened a storefront on Main Street in Pullman, which is in Daily Grind’s old location. It is not open to the public. The storefront is displaying some of the nicer items for sale on Dante’s Deals. Owner Ludlow, senior sports management
major, said he sees the window as an advertising opportunity to drive more people to his online store. He said there are more expenses associated with opening the storefront to the public, including paying to staff the place. Additionally, he gets more money by selling online than he would if people bought in-person, he said. Ludlow started the business seven years ago when he was 14. He said he bought Air Jordans at Goodwill, knowing they were worth more than the $20 the store was trying to sell them for. He was unable to sell them to his friends because no one wanted them. “After doing some more research, I
learned that they were worth a little bit of money. They ended up selling for 150 bucks to some guy in New Zealand,” Ludlow said. “So when I was 14, I had $150 in my hand, and I was like, ‘Wow, that was easy. I want to go do that again.’” He continued going to thrift stores, buying shoes and reselling them through high school, he said. When he got to college, he also started selling more clothes. Ludlow said he sells mostly items he would wear. Russell Haase, WSU Athletics maintenance mechanic, works at Dante’s Deals and said Ludlow is flamboyant when it comes to his clothes.

As it is so often said, America is a nation built on immigration (among other things), and the history between America and immigrants is understated most of the time, considering just how much this country owes them. Whether it’s been for the benefit of America, the immigrants or both, this country has relied on them for as long as it’s been a country. Which makes its tumultuous (to say the least) relationship with immigration weird in a way. Understanding the history of immigration and what rights immigrants are fighting for today is integral to understanding America. While it is impossible to make a definitive list for understanding the role immigration plays in America, hopefully these recommendations will enlighten you a little. Along with recommendations by yours truly, WSU history professor Lipi Turner-Rahman has contributed two. Frontline: Immigration Battle
