Editorial: SA election process flawed

Having an inexperienced leader potentially creates problems not only for the governed, but also within the government itself.

CP family: Perfect framing, snapshot of my college life

Last words from Cardinal Points editors

As I look back through my own photo archive of Cardinal Points, I realize that there’s more here than just a simple snap shot.

Goodbye CP, for the second, final time

Last words from Cardinal Points editors

Well CP, you know how the saying goes. Breaking up is hard to do. To be honest, I thought I was over this relationship a long time ago — a year ago, to be precise.

Last words from Cardinal Points editors

Five years ago I was introduced to a student who would spend the next two days showing me around the college and introducing me to the journalism department at Plattsburgh State. During that visit I remember walking down a long, dark, cement-ridden hallway that, at the time, I hoped I would never have to walk down again. The end result of that walk would be the entrance to the Cardinal Points office.

Plattsburgh: We need one final heart-to-heart

Exhibit D

And, folks, it’s time to say goodbye. Yep, just as quickly as I came, I’m gone, baby. This will be my last column in Cardinal Points. With my grand finale, I had two goals. Say goodbye to all you beautiful people —and the uglies — and have a good heart-to-heart with Plattsburgh.
