You’re listening to K-M-S-C with your five oh clock news with Abby Cook.
You might be consuming an ingredient that you are unaware of, plastic. A recent study looked for micro plastics within the human body.
Micro plastics are tiny pieces of plastic around the size of a grain of rice. The study found micro plastics in stool samples of each test subject. This means each subject consumed and digested plastic, which might cause concerns.
Aaron Bunker, physiology professor, commented concerns about micro plastics in humans. “If they are small enough to get into the G.I. tract and then out of the G.I. tract and into your bloodstream, that’s when you want to worry about the effects on the body.”
Bunker mentioned the study of micro plastics is still a new topic and being explored.
Moving from science news to an area on campus with paintbrushes and clay. Morningside art faculty showed their talent by displaying their work at Eppley gallery.
The art faculty displayed artwork that compliments what they teach in the classroom. A wide range of work is on display, from ceramics to illustrative posters. The show went up early October with a reception later of the same month.
Terri Mcgaffin, head of the art department, commented her thoughts about the show. “A lot of the show isn’t different in the kinds of work that we do as artists. I really like seeing artist work that I have seen for some time.” Mcgaffin went on to say that it’s exciting to see the faculty’s style evolve. The Morningside art faculty show will be ending on November ninth.
The start of November for many people is the start of not shaving for an entire month for charity. This is no different for Morningside’s Alpha Omicron Pi, who are promoting for their charity event for the Arthritis Foundation.
Alpha Omicron Pi, Morningside’s sorority, is bringing back their no shave November charity event for the Arthritis Foundation. The event has people nominated by others on campus to possibly shave their legs for charity. All of the nominated candidates must approve of the possibility of shaving off their leg hair. Only one of the nominated candidates will shave their legs, decided by the donations of the Morningside body.
Maggie Ganley, one of the event organizers, commented on how to get involved. “We will have a table set up outside the cafeteria in Olsen sporadically throughout November so people can donate money.” Ganley went on saying that there will be a sign posted to tell which candidate is leading.
On November twenty nineth, the winner will be announced and the candidate will have to shave their legs outside the cafeteria.
And that’s your five oh clock news with Abby Cook here on K-M-S-C, the student voice of Morningside College.
I like the energy, Abby, but you end up being a bit breathless. After all your cuts, you allowed yourself a few seconds to slow down and breathe (occasionally).
Good leads. It’s also good that you add some context after each of the quotes. That helps. Good short sentences without a lot of clauses.
Not every quote is a comment. Some people say stuff. Some people explain, or report, or reply.
