It’s that time of year again when most people actually wish they didn’t make that much money. You guessed it; the dreaded tax season. However, thanks to the volunteers from the Jamestown College Volunteer Income Tax Association program, the process for filing income tax returns is made easy.

A Jamestown College freshman dorm sent a fire call to the Jamestown Fire Department this morning.
Watson resident director Cathy Lutz said smoke triggered the alarm around 9 a.m. She discovered the smoke was coming from the stovetop and told the fire department it wasn’t an actual fire.
Campus fire protocol put into effect last year requires the fire department to come to campus every time a fire alarm goes off whether there’s a fire or not.
Three members of the fire department arrived in two vehicles shortly after 9 a.m.

Three Korean nursing students were injured in a car accident last night as they were leaving Jamestown for Seoul, Korea.
The Jamestown College president’s office said a grain truck collided with one of two vans carrying students at the Cavendish Farms intersection north of Interstate-94’s Bloom exit.
The campus van’s driver, Caleb Grossman, was not injured, but Lee Eun Young, Lee You Jin, and Ko Eun Jin were taken to the Jamestown hospital emergency room.
"I saw the van ahead of me slow down quite a bit,"Grossman said, "so I slowed down, but stopping wasn’t even an option."

If you lost everything – all your possessions, even the basic necessities to live – what would you need the most? The president of the Jamestown Rotary club, Tom Boerger, posed this question to a handful of listeners at the campus-wide meeting held last Wednesday. The meeting was put together in an attempt to get organizations on campus and throughout the community on the same page regarding the situation in Haiti.

People in wheelchairs face many difficulties when it comes to transportation. Luckily, section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 makes obtaining an education possible for people in wheelchairs.

Jamestown College has a lot to offer its students. The campus, while small, has six resident halls in addition to campus apartments. The one living option not offered to students that most colleges have is fraternities and sororities.

Greek life seems appealing to many, but there are many stereotypes associated with it. Toga parties, fundraisers and hazing new members are all thought of in the same context as Greek life. Many people think sororities and fraternities are just a place to party and drink and haze and torture new members.

If you are looking for that perfect romantic movie for Valentine’s Day this year, here are five of my favorites that any girl will love to cuddle up on the couch and watch. Guys will love them too.

As a private school, Jamestown College offers professors the opportunity to bring God and Christian ideals into the classroom. That’s possibly the only thing Dr. Anthony Amaro and Dr. Bruce Jensen agree on when it comes to God in science.

For Jensen, the topic of faith comes up frequently when he teaches evolution.

“I try to make students aware of different views,” he said. “It’s not either, or. Occasionally a student will come to me one-on-one, and I’ll give them something to read.”

Faith in chemistry is less obvious, but Amaro said it’s there.

Matrix

The Matrix came out at a time when the majority of movies from the realm of science fiction involved humans fighting against evil robots or evil aliens. It completely broke the mold when it introduced a story that compelled viewers question the reality of their own existence, while also completely enthralling them with its Hong Kong action and excellent special effects.

Star Wars

Well, Oct. 27 was the day. Delayed two years by the untimely death of author Robert Jordan, “The Gathering Storm” finally hit bookshelves. “TGS” is book 12 in Jordan’s fantasy series “The Wheel of Time.” This volume was one of the most highly anticipated books in the series, due to its landmark status as “the beginning of the end” and also due to Jordan’s death. Of any book in the series, this one has potentially received the most intense scrutiny from both fans and critics. So here it is: a fan’s perspective.
