As homeowners decorate their houses for the holida

As homeowners decorate their houses for the holiday season, Californians may notice an unprecedented spike in their electricity bills. The cost of living is already expensive enough, with mortgages, car payments, monthly groceries and so on. Some major monthly costs can be attributed to the electricity bill. Light and electricity are basic necessities for a survivable living environment. The Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is a major utilities company in California responsible for electricity. Unfortunately, the company holds too much power over California residents without competitors.

For many, being represented in the media is one of

For many, being represented in the media is one of the most liberating feelings. This is especially true for minorities who have fewer opportunities to feel seen or heard. Inclusivity, if done right, is beneficial, but when done wrong, it is detrimental. Read more about it on page 14 of the newspaper.

During a UK Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL) game against the Sheffield Steelers that took place a day prior, the fatal incident unfolded in the second period of the match when Johnson suffered an on-ice collision. The fast and brief encounter in the collision, as Christian Bennet, a Guardian journalist who was at the game, recalls, “The Sheffield player clearly got knocked off his feet and his skate went up and slit [the other player’s] throat. I’ve never seen that amount of blood come out of anyone at any sort of pace. It is one of the grimmest things I’ve ever seen at a sports event." Read more about it on page 16 of the newspaper.

On Wednesday, Nov. 4, ground was broken for North District Phase 2, a new student housing complex located north of the original North District project. Gusty winds marked the occasion, as did speeches from the mayor of Riverside, the Riverside Community College District (RCCD) Chancellor Wolde Ab-Isaac, UCR Chancellor Kim Wilcox and others. The groundbreaking kicked off the beginning of construction on a $347.78 million project in collaboration with the RCCD. North District Phase 2 will include two apartment-style buildings housing 1568 new beds, 326 of which are for RCCD students, and new recreational areas.

Sports romance literature represents a huge portio

Sports romance literature represents a huge portion of the romance genre, so much so that there has been controversy about how fantasy bleeds into reality. After Seattle Kraken player Alex Wennenberg became the target of a content creator on Booktok, the tag given to book content on TikTok, the situation prompts a warning as to the fictional nature of these books. Wennenberg should have been protected by his team instead of allowing his discomfort to be commercialized for public relations. More importantly, the graphic language that was aimed at him publicly should never have been said. Being a public figure does not mean one’s body and personal life are up for grabs. While reading this list, please remember that these books and characters are fictional and meant for personal entertainment, whereas real-life athletes are people who should not be subjected to this treatment. Recognize the difference.

Presented by ASPB, Odyssey is a major event for students to come to and enjoy. Located at Lot 19, the event allowed students to celebrate their Highlander Pride.

Extended stays in libraries have never been an act

Extended stays in libraries have never been an activity to which I am particularly inclined to — stuffy, dimly lit, sonically displeasing, these places of communal study are typically places I avoid. It was with this predisposition that I decided to take on the assignment of enduring ten hours in UCR’s Orbach Science Library. What I sought in this endeavor was a place to immerse myself in my work and completely focus on my studies. Instead I found madness and anxiety within the claustrophobic walls and shelves and nooks of Orbach which I should have fled from immediately upon my arrival. Read more about it on the newspaper!
