Donuts fit for a king

On the outskirts of town, near Old Tucson, lies a cleverly hidden little donut shop. A donut you may say is fit for a king, Queen Donuts. It’s basically your local ma-and-pa-owned donut shop. There’re no bells and whistles, no crazy outside decoration to flag you down. Just a yellow sign with their name that sits atop the coffee shop.

Et tu Pima: Student-senate connection

By ANGEL CANEZ When you hear the word “senate,” you probably think of the approaching midterm elections or Washington, D.C. However, there’s another senate that exists under your nose: the Pima Community College Student Senate. The Senate consists of 14 elected Pima students. Their goal is to act as a voice for the people and to maximize Pima students’ learning experiences. They act as a bridge from the student body to the school administration to help keep tabs on campus problems. “We represent the student population, and we always have to keep that in mind when making choices with the board,” said Pima East Student Senator Caitlin Encinas by email. However, not everybody can run for the Senate. Requirements include attending at least 85 pe...
