Astro Pittman | The Seattle Collegian An evening at Velocity on Sunday, October 20, 2018. The Midsummer, by Beth Terwilleger, is a new work for her new dance company, The Gray, here in Seattle. I find it appropriate that her double-debut is the subject of my first article for the Seattle Central Collegian. Because I arrived early, I got the rare…
Joel Raphael | The Seattle Collegian For most students at Seattle Central College, this mid term election represents your first opportunity to vote.

Emilio Chavez | The Seattle Collegian On Monday, October 1, President Trump issued orders to the FBI, calling for an official investigation into the accusations of sexual assault against Brett Kavanaugh, the administration’s nomination to the Supreme Court to fill the seat left by Justice Kennedy when he abruptly retired in June of this year. While limiting the duration to one week, the president put no direct restraint as to who the Bureau could question.
Emilio Chavez | The Seattle Collegian If I’m being brutally honest, upon hearing that Trump’s pick for the Supreme Court was accused of rape, and not only was the attack well documented, but that there were multiple other attacks and witnesses who were coming forward, I can’t say I was really surprised.
