Katie Amundsen - Senior Writing and English Major - “I think it’s a good idea to have accessible technology in the classroom for classes where it’s necessary. In a lot of my English classes, having an e-book or PDFs makes it easier and is a lot cheaper than the book store. It’s a helpful asset to have in class, as long as people aren’t distracted by Twitter and Facebook.”

Nico Thompson Senior - Education Major “I feel like police brutality should not be a first resort. If anything, police officers should be allowed to use their power excessively, but only if they are forced to. Such force should only be used in certain situations; like, if the person being apprehended is a danger to those around them. But I guess one side could argue that anyone could abuse their power if they are the ones who get to determine if the situation is excusable. To use that authority just because you can or because you dislike a certain race or ethic is not what it is given to you for.”
