History of campus art revealed

There are various art exhibits and pieces that adorn NSU’s campus. While most of these may be well known, such as the shark statue in front of the Don Taft University Center or the shark fin floating in Gold Circle Lake, their histories and how they came to be may be a mystery to some. To shed light on both the origins and history of the various installations of art around campus, The Current will explore the readily noticeable pieces in this issue and the more mysterious pieces found around the campus in a later issue.

$2.5 million reasons to get involved in campus life

The undergraduate population at NSU is approximately 5,000. Each student pays $500 every academic school year in student activity fees. This means that undergraduate students have approximately $2.5 million reasons to get involved in campus life. Think about it as taxes. When you become a taxpaying member of society, will you simply pay your taxes and stand on the sidelines while the government does as it pleases, without voicing your concern and effecting change?

“It’s a pain because I go visit my friends in the Commons almost every day and when I sign in they start keeping track of me and tell me I can’t go see my friends. You can only go in a certain number of times. It’s just a pain because I might be going in for five minutes and leaving and I have to sign in,” she said.
