Head Men’s & Women’s Golf Coach Bradley Johnson announced he would be leaving in two weeks at the golf team’s first practice of the season on Feb. 21.

Johnson had a reputation for improving collegiate programs: He took New York University’s men’s team from being 130th in the nation for more than a decade to 8th in the country, and coached their women’s team to a national championship in 2019. Now, Johnson is returning to New York where his wife was offered a lucrative job opportunity.

No matter the case, here are some just-as-tasty non-alcoholic options, because everyone deserves a delicious drink in hand.

Lewis & Clark needs to stop supporting the New York Times.

The Associated Student Body (ASB) should stop providing digital access, professors should stop driving clicks to their website and if you have a paper subscription, it is time to cancel. The New York Times, an institution of United States journalism, has an agenda against transgender people.
