It’s been twenty years since the Loma Prieta Earthquake. At the time, Candice Stevenson was in Italy with her mother. But her father, Joseph Stevenson, was trapped in his small apartment on Fulton Street. “My father was a hero,” tears wash over Stevenson’s face as she says it.

Monday afternoon around 4 many students received jarring alerts in the form of text messages sent from USF's Department of Public Safety to their personal cell phones. The messages informed students that the campus was in a state of emergency and they should evacuate immediately.

The nightly shuttle extended their hours later on weekends so students have a safer way to get home late at night.

Public Safety’s Night Safety Shuttle has extended its hours to 3 a.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday as of Sept. 1, which has been a collaborative effort between the Department of Public Safety and ASUSF Senate since last semester to increase weekend night services by two hours.

In one of the most heavily-trafficked parts of USF campus, next to the Market Cafe in the University Center, the new Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Resource Center (GSWRC) has opened its doors.

Strictly by the numbers, Crossroads’ new extended hours on Thursday and Friday nights until 2:30 a.m. have been incredibly successful.

With luck, many of them also received a text-message from the university yesterday and will receive yet another one tomorrow, with the purpose of testing this new SMS (short messaging service) based system, [...]

At a mid-semester USF Politics Society meeting, newly elected District 1 Supervisor Eric Mar spoke to Politics Society members and other students about his first impressions of the job. He also participated in a question-and-answer session, in which students could present their concerns directly to their supervisor. Though Mar promised to represent USF students and the Politics Society’s main concerns- pedestrian safety on Turk Street and extension of the 5 Fulton bus service after 7 p.m.- to the board of supervisors, some students left the meeting unclear of what Mar is hoping to accomplish in District 1.

Everyday at USF I feel like I’m risking my life. Not by trying the new mystery meat special at the Caf or walking through the Tenderloin, but by crossing the street at Turk and Roslyn Terrace. No matter what time of day, I am terrified that a car may choose not to stop, and sometimes [...]
