After winning the 2024 Patriot League title, the Lehigh football team is gearing up for the upcoming season by adding two new coaches to its staff. Following a 2-9 record in 2022, the team overhauled their coaching staff, hiring Kevin Cahill as its new coach in December of that year. After a year of rebuilding, Cahill improved the team’s winning by nine games and secured Lehigh’s 13th Patriot League title — its first in 13 years — this past season. 

As Cahill heads into his third season in the nest, he said he’s aiming for higher success. He’s beginning to work toward this by recruiting not just like-minded players but coaches that match the team’s motivation.

Growing up, I often rolled my eyes whenever my mom struck up conversations with random people — whether it was in the grocery store aisle or while adding creamer to her tea at the local convenience store. These chats could last anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour, and I’d tug at her sleeve and tap my foot impatiently, waiting for her to stop rambling. She’d get frustrated with me too, annoyed that my lack of patience always overshadowed the value she saw in those moments.

She used to tell me, over and over again, that no matter how brief a conversation might be, you never know where it could lead or what relationships might form as a result. At the time, I brushed it off as just another one of her sentimental sayings. That was until everything changed.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders visited Bethlehem on Saturday for his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour with a rally at Stabler Arena on Goodman Campus. The tour originated from Sanders’ concern that no leading Democrat had stepped up to lead the opposition against President Donald Trump. He collaborated with New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for the tour, though she wasn’t present at the event at Stabler. 

The rally featured musical performances and speeches from local leaders, union representatives and activists, all of whom emphasized the importance of fighting oligarchy and preserving American democracy.

Whether she’s playing the cello, grading papers or scoring on the field, Ella Rossetti, ‘25, has made her presence known in many corners of Lehigh’s campus. As a multi-faceted person — she’s a TRAC Fellow, a Martindale Scholar, the founder of the Medical Brigades Club, the president of Community Growers Club, a member of club field hockey, an orchestra cellist and a teacher’s assistant — the senior will graduate from Lehigh having explored a wide range of opportunities and collaborated with many different people.

In an effort to make the most of her time at Lehigh, Rossetti has taken more than 200 credits and immersed herself in a wide range of clubs and extracurriculars.

Imagine the bells of Holy Infancy Church on the South Side stopped ringing. Imagine they missed their hourly cue one day, and the clang didn’t reverberate throughout the blocks of Bethlehem the days following. You might not notice their absence at first. But I’d bet after a few days, the silence would grow. And after a while, it would become loud, weighty and almost eerie. If a set soundtrack to your life at Lehigh was erased, how long would it take you to notice? How long would it take you to miss it?

Now imagine it’s The Brown and White that goes dormant. I’d argue a similar chill would creep in, but the absence of reporters dashing across campus, stacks of print issues gathering dust and a representative voice going silent would bring an even worse aftermath.

The City of Bethlehem is planning to build a new community center along the South Bethlehem Greenway on Mechanic Street. The center is the product of feasibility reports, community engagement and ongoing discussions between community members, through which city officials recognized many residents have a desire for a community center on the South Side. 

The South Side Community Center is planned to be for people of all ages, with a focus on youth recreation. The Bethlehem City Council estimates it will be constructed within the next year.
