SUMMARY: Katherine Rea from Keep Tupelo Beautiful discusses a free tire disposal event in collaboration with Goodyear. The event will take place on Saturday at the Krueger International building on South Green Street, from 8 AM to 12 PM, allowing people to recycle old tires. Katherine highlights the environmental dangers of tire dumping, including mosquito breeding. She also mentions a volunteer effort where over 150 tires were collected in Tupelo.

SUMMARY: At the University of Southern Mississippi, freshmen are required to live on campus, a mandate that some students find inconvenient due to financial concerns. Freshman Gabrielle Cox expressed frustration, arguing that students living nearby should have the option to commute without incurring extra costs. While some students dislike the requirement, others, like a fellow USM student, feel positively about the experience but acknowledge that it can lead to social challenges. Many freshmen find it difficult to make friends, leading to feelings of loneliness for those who struggle to connect with others in the dorm environment.
