Merger Statement:

This semester, in line with FRCC President Dr. Simpson’s new One College model, The Front Page and The Reporter are joining forces under The Front Page banner, and expanding their coverage to FRCC’s Boulder County Campus. In order to preserve the independent voices of all three FRCC campuses, each campus will retain its own editor, copy editor, and advisor, as well as their own staff of writers and/or other content creators. All decisions made by The Front Page will be ultimately overseen by the Editorial Board, made up of one advisor and one editor from each campus. One of these editors will be appointed by the Editorial Board to be the Managing Editor, whose role will be to oversee and guide the operation of The Front Page.

Last Thursday, September the 28th, FRCC students had their days interrupted by a fire alarm. Many students and staff expressed a heightened level of concern, given that a fire drill had occurred in the building earlier that same month. After just a few minutes, Firetrucks arrived on the scene. First, one from the Westminster Fire Department, whose crew entered the building escorted by a security guard. Shortly thereafter, another truck from North Metro Fire Rescue arrived, which left a few minutes later. Approximately 25 minutes after the alarm went off, students and staff were given the all-clear to return to the building. Asked after the event, a member of FRCC’s security team said that the apparent false alarm was suspected to have been caused by a smoker.
