Amnesty International held a demonstration on the north plaza calling for the closing of Guantanamo Bay on April 24.

Alcohol and Sex Don't Mix

By Connect Mason Sports Director Damien Sordelett

Alcohol has been a cause of many unpleasant mornings. Imagine waking up and not remembering exactly what happened the night before. It is not something that a student likes to have weighing him or her down.
