This is not an April Fools’ joke. Starting April 1, there will be free printing in the Rosenthal Library. “The plan is that students are going to be able to print at the library on all six floors, for free and that would be the only place on campus that kids could print for free,” Student Association president, Matthew Louie said. Students for Change and the office of converging technologies were able to combine forces and make free printing available at the library. As for the other printing stations on campus, such as Powdermaker Hall, the Student Union and Kiely Hall, there will still be the normal charge of 10…

Freshman’s efforts noticed; receives ECC Rookie of the Week
Tori Bowser, the middle blocker for the Queens College volleyball team, has to use her voice and skill in the middle of the field to guide her teammates. Bowser, the only freshman on the squad, has to take on responsibilities and pressures that most freshmen don’t have to endure in their first year of college volleyball. “I think I’ve taken on the pressure pretty well. For the first couple of games it was like being in awe of: I’m 18 and I’m playing against people on the other side of the court that could be like 22,” Bowser said — in high school sports, athletes usually play people in the…
