A few months later they said, “Khashoggi was given a lethal injection after a struggle and his body was dismembered inside the consulate after his death. The body parts were then handed over

The only stipulation to the recent policy is that all pets must be at least six months old and weigh under forty pounds. This unconventional policy derives from the college’s initiative to create a more welcoming, comfortable learning environment for students. Caroline McMurray, a Linfield junior is excited about the prospects that this new policy holds. MacMurray said, “I am a big fan of the new pet policy. It’s cool how they are letting pet owners bring their pets to college, it really contributes to the comfortable environment that Linfield strives for.” The students, as a collective, are excited that the administrators are taking steps to improve the climate, and they are curious what new policies are soon to arrive. The only foreseeable issue with
