The Springville Museum of Art (SMOFA), Utah’s most historic museum dedicated to the visual arts, is now featuring five new exhibitions as of Jan. 5.

Milton Friedman once said that a lack of belief in freedom itself is what supports most arguments against free market economics. It could also be said that most uses of the term “free market” rely on a fallacious understanding of freedom, even by those who do believe in it, especially burgeoning students and future capitalists […]

Students share their plans for the holidays.
