Student Government Strut Their Stuff
By Claudia Kassab
This spring, the KCC Student Government hosted an open house event to spread awareness
on campus and recruit students interested in becoming actively involved in student
activities.
With a table situated in the Breezeway, the Student Government provided detailed information
about the club as well as distributed Student Government pins.
Along the way to the cafeteria, it was hard to pass by without recognizing the rest
of the tables each representing a different council.

KCC Students Stealing from MTA?
By Mashido Eghaghe
In the past decade, the MTA has increased the transportation fare from $1.00 to $2.25
and have canceled one day fun passes, unlimited weekly and monthly metro cards.
The agency is doing this to bridge the sizable deficit its facing. Commuters that
depend on the MTA are feeling the heat, but some understand why the changes are necessary.
The MTA deficit could be attributed to some commuters who indulge in riding the buses
for free.

Welcome Back Party Failure
By Marlene Gomez
With Glow sticks being handed out, it's easy to assume it must have been one heck
of a welcoming party.
However, the lack of dancing and energy proved it to be anything but. Students attended
KCC's Welcome Back Party, but the vibe was lacking.
This was the second Campus Activities Board (CAB) event of the year. Compared to last
month's Valentine Party at KCC it did not rise to par.
Some who might have been attending a KCC party for the first time might have been
disappointed.

KCC's Access Resource Center: Free Tax Prep And Legal Advice
By Ronni Hua
Advertising has expanded and managed to slip into every facet of campus life. If
you haven't noticed them it's because we have all learned to ignore them.
The Access Resource Center posters should not be ignored. The service it offers comes
from humble beginnings, when Heidi Lopez, Access Resource Center coordinator, handed
out flyers in the hallways and answer your financial questions.

KingsBrew Tales
By Ryan Muir
The MAC building, well known for its scenic view of the bay, the clamorous halls
full of artwork and beautiful sunshine on a good day, is also notorious for its one-stop
Kingsbrew Starbucks Coffee.
It's a popular spot for students and faculty alike.
Although the seating area isn't too small, Kingsbrew is so popular with students and
faculty alike, that one is often lucky to find an open table.
Besides its excellent customer service from barista Beatrice Geste, and its delicious
hot coffee, what makes this small caf great?

LGBT Issues on Campus
By Maria Panskaya
Kingsborough faculty and staff held a meeting under the leadership of Steven Amarnick,
associate professor in the English Department, where they discussed various Lesbian
Gay Bisexual & Transgender (LGBT) issues and incidents on campus.
There are many LGBT students on campus; some of who do not feel comfortable, because
of who they are. They don't feel secure telling anyone their sexual orientation. Prof.
Amarnick and other professors are trying to find a solution to this problem.
