The Kent State women’s basketball team lost 76-49 on Sunday to No. 15 Florida State (6-2) in Tallahassee.

To an overflowing crowd, the student fashion group

To an overflowing crowd, the student fashion group Modista displayed their annual fashion show Dec. 2 with designs inspired by the concept of “paradox”, the idea of pairing two contradictory statements or concepts together.

“We wanted to shed a light on a lot of the contradictions and hypocrisy and lies that we see in the fashion industry,” Modista president Rileyanna Karić said. “A lot of it is more metaphorical than you’ll see in the show, but a lot of it is social commentary on fashion.”

The show production went precisely how the junior fashion merchandising student anticipated.

At 11 years old, Dino Campisi, a freshman nursing major at Kent State, faced hardship when his father got into a motorcycle accident, leaving him paralyzed. He was in the hospital for roughly six months before he was transported to a nursing home.

In June 2015, Dee Dee Blanchard was found stabbed

In June 2015, Dee Dee Blanchard was found stabbed to death in her home. The two responsible were none other than her daughter, Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Nicholas Godejohn, Gypsy’s boyfriend.

Although this murder was already gruesome enough to make headlines, it also dominated national news for years due to the confusing and shocking background details of the case.

Dee Dee had convinced the public and multiple health professionals for years that her daughter Gypsy was severely handicapped. She utilized this storyline in order to get money and other benefits from the government and amusement parks like Disney World. She was even able to get a house for free from Habitat for Humanity.
