Dallas College’s student body celebrated Valentine’s Day in a unique way this year.

It was an opportunity for clubs to generate funds for future events and projects. To participate, club members...
Grand Prairie’s Asia Times Square shopping center hosted its 17th annual Lunar New Year festivities from Jan. 26 to Feb. 11. The shopping center is a place where the Asian community can go and shop for groceries, clothing and any other imported goods.
The three weekend-long festivities ended on Feb. 11, the beginning of the Lunar New Year. Chinese Lunar New Year (also known as Spring Festival) is mainly celebrated in China, hence the name, but is still celebrated in other countries across Asia and is...

“Say Anything”
(1989)
This Cameron Crowe-directed romantic-comedy with drama finds John Cusack’s Lloyd Dobler falling for high school valedictorian Diane Court (Ione Skye). I really like the relationship of Diane and her father, played by John Mahoney. A+ “Joe Versus the Volcano”
(1990)
This dark comedy with romantic undercurrents has a dry sense of humor, especially in the beginning when Joe (Tom Hanks) gets fired from his extremely boring and uneventful job by Mr. Waturi (Dan Hedaya). A

“We usually cook at my grandma’s house – turkey, mash potatoes, green beans, dinner rolls, just lost of stereotypical Thanksgiving food.” Jasmine Gambia:
“For Thanksgiving, I’m going back home to my parents’ main house. We’re going to hangout. It’s nothing formal, it’s just Filipino food, it’s traditional stuff like grilled pork, exotic stuff.”
In an effort to foster a sense of unity and understanding among college students from diverse backgrounds, the Baptist Student Ministry, or BSM, at Richland is gearing up for its last events with Crossing Cultures this semester. This unique initiative, born out of the collaborative spirit of the Texas BSM and local churches across Dallas County, seeks to teach students about the different cultures of the world, and foster meaningful conversations with the different people in the school...
A dozen maple trees from the Richland Tree Farm were planted on campus to celebrate a very special Arbor Day on April 29. Although this is an annual event, this year was even more meaningful than usual, since the new trees replaced ones that were cut down last year due to the emerald ash borer beetle infestation that has been affecting North Texas for years.
Valentine’s Day season is right around the corner! As students across Dallas College look to woo their partner, the perfect date might be sitting right in front of them.
Richland has a load of romantic hideaways for student couples to enjoy themselves and further their education. Here’s the Chronicle’s suggestion for the perfect campus date.
Because Oct. 10 was Indigenous Peoples’ Day, I want to share a few thoughts about an article I read the other day on ushistory.org concerning the Trail of Tears. It stated that Andrew Jackson wanted to remove “native peoples” from their lands to “make room for settlers and often for speculators who made large profits from the purchase and sale of land.”
If this was the case, why not point settlers and speculators to the lands (modern-day Oklahoma) where the State of Georgia and Andrew Jackson wanted to expel natives? If the land was as good as Jackson made it out to be, why not take it for themselves? Was not this land already available? Would it not be easier for all parties involved to send “settlers” and “speculators” to the unpopulated lands, rather than to force a nation out of its territory, and then deal with a “Trail of Tears”’?
