Don’t drive and dial
I never thought I would be the cause of an accident while driving and talking on my cell phone at the same time. Never say never. Recently, I was on my cell phone and driving after a long, hard day at work. It was around 5 p.m. I decided to call my sister, who lives in Texas.

Seventh-inning wreckage stomps Brahmas
The Pierce College baseball team struggled to overcome El Camino College’s early lead on Mar. 19, losing 12-4. “I know Pierce is a pretty good team,” said Nathan Fernley, El Camino’s head coach. “I know their pitchers throw very well, there are three or four here that are pretty good.
Female student wins welding competition
For centuries, the world has stereotyped men and women. There are certain things acceptable and the rest remain to be absurd. Yet slowly, the world is becoming more open to change – to new and different things. Say hello to new and different right here at Pierce College.
