Morningside College is improving the accessibility for handicaps, but he thinks that it’s not “fast enough” in his opinion.

Alex Watters is a first-year advisor at Morningside College who came into class to discuss how the college can be more accessible.

Watters said that “costs is a big issue to have more accessibility and demographics of who’s going to use it.”

The college needs to be updating and add on more accessibility in the older buildings. Morningside is an old college that needs to be often updated.

The older buildings have ground level opening in the back but no way of getting up to the upper levels. Getting to the higher levels in the buildings more accessible is something that Morningside needs to think about when renovating the buildings.

He said that “build an elevator outside of the buildings” could be a possibility but it all goes back to costs.

The college needs to “address some concerns” when it comes to updating the accessibility all around like the older dorms also need to become more accessible for handicaps.

He said, “Adapt to some things at the campus like the Student Center.” There used to be an elevator, but it was taken out to make the dining hall “more presentable.”

He mentioned that if the updating and add-ons do happen, that means tuition goes up for every student at Morningside. The increase in expenditure is one thing that students don’t want to deal with when paying for their education.

It is all about the costs of updating and add-ons that the college has to worry about if it is needed or not.

This story is newsworthy because Tim Allen, a well-known actor, is expressing his opinion on why his show “Last Man Standing” that aired on ABC is not on television anymore.

The lede is good because it reminds the readers that the show is not on-air and why Allen is still talking about this issue.

The audience for this story is fans who are still surprised that the show disappeared unexpectedly, fans of Allen, and conservatives who want shows like “Last Man Standing” to be on television.

The point of view in this story is first and third persons.

The third person point of view is the writer writing to the readers. The first person point of view is Allen’s quote about his opinion on this issue.

The article is short but also straight to the point for readers to quickly read and understand the subject in the story.

The article gives credit to the Hollywood Reporter for using their words about CMT and “Last Man Standing.”

The missing items in this story is an official quote from ABC about why the show is off-air and an official quote from CMT about what made them not want to revive the show.

The library is big, almost empty, and quiet. The library has two levels where there are no classrooms, just places to study.

The first level has more chairs, tables, and open space for students to move around. This level only has two full bookcases.

The second level has the 23 bookcases full of books for almost all classes. There is some space on this level to study but not as much as the first tier.

The library is peaceful and relaxing to go to after a long day of classes. The library doors open and close and people walking up and down the stairs are loud and easily distracting sounds for someone who’s studying.

Students come and go in the library. Some of them walk through to get to their next class. While others walk to find a place to do their homework.

The main sounds of the library are people walking, their car keys moving with their backpacks, setting their bags down, and going through the backpacks to find what they need to help them study.s

Some conversations are going on in the library but can barely understand them. Once in a while, a conversation can get very loud to where everyone in the library can hear every detail of that conversation.

Describe a person you talked to before class

She has blonde hair, blue eyes, and about 5’5″. Her face was red because she was stressing about balancing school and work at the same time.

She was wearing a green sweatshirt and gray sweatpants. She had on black and pink tennis shoes.

She was carrying a black and light-blue backpack, which was full. She was also carrying a black water bottle with a sky-blue ring around it.

Describe the foods next to you

The donut is in the shape of a ball. The image of the donut is chocolate with some sugar sprinkled all around.

It is soft and squishy. It tastes like more chocolate and sugar.

The creme de Pirouline wafer is cream filled. They are fragile and hard.

It is a stick with a chocolate swirl around the wafer.

There is also dark chocolate inside the wafers. It tastes like more wafers than dark chocolate.

The search went wrong because nobody wanted to talk. They just wanted to go to class or go somewhere else.

I walked around campus with my head cut off like a chicken for about twenty minutes.

It felt like a waste of time to me as a writer because I wanted to have a good story but came up with nothing.

I became very disappointed in myself as a journalist and started to think that I am going to be a lousy reporter in the future.

The students were in classes, and barely anyone was outside of the buildings. The students that I did see were ignoring everyone else around them.

The part that made it worse for me is that as I was trying to search for people to talk to, I started to get nervous and scared. What also didn’t help me is my anxiety problem coming back, and my blood pressure to go up.

So, I was not able to complete this assignment to the fullest abilities.

The point of view of the story is the third person. This view is to show the readers information that is relevant and important to understand the story. The Associated Press helped contribute to this story.

There are some missing parts to this story. These part are what kind of mood Trump’s speech would be to the UN General Assembly, not giving any clues about the Iran Deal removal process, and giving an idea of what to do next with North Korea’s nuclear program.

How Politics Have Made College Campuses Unsafe for People who Have Different Views than the Majority of the College

The political world that the United States has created is forcing college campuses to become dangerous places for students who do not have the same political views as the majority of the school.

These students are trump-supporters, conservative Republicans who are going to liberal colleges to get their respected degrees. They feel like they have to hide from their college and are afraid to speak out about anything involving politics.

The danger started with political correctness on college campuses where students are not allowed to say something that might offend someone who doesn’t agree with them. This backlash is causing a huge change on campuses around the country.

Political correctness is a big part of why colleges are becoming unsafe for different opinions and views to be heard and discuss without some controversy. This correctness has caused students not handle opinions from the “other” side.

Ruth Sherlock from The Telegraph wrote an article about how political correctness is hurting American campuses. She discusses not only students are affected by this correctness but professors too.

She states, “The introduction of “trigger warnings” may have been designed to protect people who have suffered serious trauma, but critics fear they are now a means to prevent the free discussion in class that is an essential part of academic learning.”

She also talks about how students are now changing what professors are teaching in their classes and how professors are not able to teach the courses the way they’ve always done because of political correctness.

She puts in her article that political correctness is far from advance social justice, they are limiting freedom of speech according to faculty members of Harvard Law School she talked.

Political correctness has made college campuses more dangerous than ever that started with the 2016 Presidential election. This particular election has made a lasting impact on universities for generations to come.

Frank Bruni of the New York Times put in a quote in his article that comes from Van Jones that states, “I don’t want you to be safe, ideologically. I don’t want you to be safe, emotionally. I want you to be strong. That’s different. I’m not going to pave the jungle for you. Put on some boots, and learn how to deal with adversity.”

Bruni discusses that protests are not the problem, it is how controlling people by shaming and silencing them is doing the opposite of what the protests’ goals are. He knows that protests make a change to society as a whole, but he doesn’t discuss what happens when a protest turns into violence that causes innocent people to get hurt.

But what continues this is the fact that their voices not heard and the fear of unsafety at college campuses. Republicans on college campuses are feeling threatened, harassed, and hated because of the 2016 election and their political views.

More university students and professors have identified themselves as liberals than conservatives. The liberal colleges have made conservatives feel left out and alone when they are on college campuses.

Clare Foran of The Atlantic wrote in her article that “Add to that a wave of liberal activism pushing for trigger warnings and safe spaces at universities—demands that critics describe as codding at best and threats to free speech at worst—and a presidential election filled with divisive insults, and it’s not hard to see how the divide between college Republicans who support Trump and the rest of the student body may have widened on college campuses across the country.”

College Democrats have thrown insults like racist, sexist, homophobic, and other bigotry words that do not describe the majority of college Republicans. Republicans are hated more than ever on campuses because of the 2016 election.

Foran discusses how the Black Lives Matter movement inspired young liberals on college campuses to denounce and call out racism whenever they believe they see it exists. She also talks about how liberal students have the belief that anyone who supports Trump is a racist and should be labeled a racist.

The 2016 Presidential election was a big chance for college Republicans to speak out and show their political views for Donald Trump. The Trump victory didn’t change the environment of the liberal college campuses.

Donald Trump winning the Presidential election gave college Republicans an opportunity to have the chance to speak out and stand up for what they believe. If Trump lost the election, then college Republicans would be even more alienated than ever at college campuses.

Today’s political world has changed college campuses forever. College campuses need to give college Republicans space where they can speak out. Universities also need to have liberals and conservatives discuss difficult topics that require both sides to have their voices heard.

This particular story is newsworthy because of Jemele Hill, an ESPN reporter, who put out a tweet calling President Donald Trump, a “white supremacist.”

This story is also newsworthy because of how ESPN is handling Hill and the response from White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders saying that the comment is a “fireable offense.”

The story details about the recent history of ESPN reporters in the news involving politics in the “right-leaning” side and Hill’s last controversy.

This story is interesting because ESPN has not been handling the journalists’ discussions of their political views equally. Right-wing reporters for ESPN fired while liberal journalists are giving a slap on the wrist.

This difference in punishment started when ESPN became more left-leaning and brought this to their TV shows.

The audience for this story is sports fans and people who are into politics in a society like TV shows and sports channels.

The lede is not that great because it doesn’t give a summary of the controversy. The point of view for this story is from the third person.

The story is missing the response from Jemele Hill about her tweets about President Trump.

Story 2

A United Airlines jet crashed while approaching Chicago’s Second City Airport Friday afternoon with 61 persons aboard. Most of the passengers on the plane were killed when the plane crashed through homes in the south side of the city in a residential district.

The National Transportation Safety Board in Washington immediately dispatched an investigative team to Chicago. Several board officials were already in Chicago conducting hearings into the Oct. 20 commuter train crash that claim the lives of 45 people last month. An official was quoted as saying, “We’ll look into this thoroughly.”

One eyewitness said about the crash: “I saw the plane coming lower and lower. I couldn’t believe it. I thought surely it would go back up in the air. But it kept coming down. I knew it would never make it to the airport. I was scared.”

The plane’s final destination was Omaha, NE.

A United spokesman said, “The plane, Flight 553, was due at Midway at 2:30 p.m. CST. The plane was approaching the airport with a 500-foot ceiling and a one-mile visibility.”

One of the survivors, Marvin Anderson, 43, of Omaha, said, “The last words the pilot said to us were, ‘We are at 4,000 feet and everything is going well.’ I knew something was wrong a few seconds later because he began to rev the engines.”

Curtis Vokamer, Deputy Fire Marshall, said his crew found most of the 55 passengers dead in the debris of the Boeing 737. Vokamer said, “If hell as an address, this is the lace.”

The Cook County Coroner reported 42 bodies have been found. One of the victims identified was Rep. George W. Collins, D-Ill., who was returning from Washington to “organize a children’s Christmas party.”

Holy Cross Hospital reported 16 persons, including the plane’s three flight attendants, were admitted with injuries.

Story 1

Four students from Armstrong Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, Florida were stuck in the water overnight after the boat sprang a leak and capsized. One of the students, Christy Wapniarski, was attacked by a shark while heading back to Ormond Beach.

The students were not wearing life jackets and the current was strong during the night. One of the students, Randy Cohen, tried to save Wapniarski and bring her back to the beach.

She died from her injuries and Cohen was still going to bring her back. The other two students, Daniel Perrin and Tammy Ennis, told Cohen to let her body float away.

It took six more hours for the surviving three students to reach shore. The surviving students were examined at Halifax Hospital, Daytona Beach. Cohen is still at Halifax while Perrin and Ennis have been released.

How Has Politics Have Made College Campuses Unsafe for People who Have Different Views than the Majority of the College?

The political world that the United States has created is forcing college campuses to become dangerous places for students today. This is because of students that have different views than the college, professors, and fellow students. Republicans on college campuses are feeling threatened, harassed, and hated because of the 2016 election and their political views.

College Democrats have thrown insults like racist, sexist, homophobic, and other bigotry words that do not describe the majority of college Republicans. Republicans are hated more than ever on campuses because of the 2016 election.
