Sterling is always down for almost anything, he accepts almost every opportunity he is given. Sterling see’s every new opportunity as an adventure and once snuck onto a tubing hill in the middle of the night to sled with some random people. “It was a fun night, but it was also super dangerous.” Sterling said excitedly. “we couldn’t see anything so if you hit a bump you would go flying and get a nasty bruise or cut.” He said they had to end up leaving because they saw lights and thought it might be the cops.

Sterling is from a small town in Iowa called Forrest City, which is close to Minnesota. He says he really opened up in college and would’ve even called himself an introvert in high school. Nowadays he is far from that. He found his way to Morningside through several campus visits and really liked the atmosphere. Sterling loves adventuring and thinks Morningside is the perfect place for it!

Not only does he like to go on crazy adventure, but Sterling is involved in almost every organization Morningside has to offer. He is a mainstay in M.A.C. and even helped organize the crush for crush event for the E-group. Sterling didn’t come to the college for any sports so this is one way he can keep himself busy Everyone who knows him knows that he cant sit still or stay in one place for very long, which is why he keeps himself so busy. “I like to make sure I can help the college and students any way I can, but I can’t lie. Being so involved is a whole lot of fun.” Sterling is a very interesting guy and if you see him around campus, he’s sure to say hello to you!

The Omaha city council voted to implement a 3% tax on vape products for the city in order to help build a new cancer center at the university of Nebraska Medical Center. The tax may help in deterring young people from even starting vaping. Vape product sellers warned that the tax may drive people from buying in Omaha and resorting to online purchasing and going out of city limits.

I think this is relevant because a lot of student at Morningside use vape products. If Sioux City follows suit with a similar tax this could affect many students. I think the story is short and to the point, with an ok lead. I think that the story is not that entertaining but very informative and essential.

The last conversation I had was right before I got to this class with my friends Riley Collins and Anna Uehling. Riley is very tall with brown hair and green eyes and was wearing a dark brown Air Jordan sweatshirt with black sweat pants. Anna was wearing a light blue and white winter coat, is pale like a ghost, and has blondish brown hair. We left our first class and headed into the cold, on our way to Journalism class.

We began walking from our last class discussing how it was dumb that we were kept in class later than usual. None of us were feeling like going to class and discussed if attending would even be worth it. Of course, we then dismissed this idea when Anna brought up the fact that we were almost done with the semester anyway and should just tough it out.

Anna then said I was a bad influence on Riley which I categorically denied. We noted seeing a large group of high school students outside of the library and headed in to our Journalism class.

Our first comes to you from Des Moines Iowa where an Iowa man has been charged with a hate crime after police say he tore down and burned an LGBTQ flag hanging outside a bar in Des Moines. 32-year-old Daniel Rosemark was arrested after the early Wednesday morning incident. 

I asked senior nursing student Tatum Heath how she feels about a crime like this happening in Iowa. “……” A similar crime occurred in Ames when a man was arrested for taking a pride flag from a church and burning it.

Students are hoping similar crimes will not occur at Morningside. 

For our next story we take a look into the world of science and technology.

imagine rats moving around the streets of new york in their own tiny cars.

Scientists have worked with lab rats, teaching them to steer and drive custom made cars.

The rats learned to do this through both trial and error and were rewarded with cereal for successful results. Videos of the rats accomplishing these tasks were released and the rats were able to make some pretty good turns and maneuvers. 

Most people may assume that rats aren’t very intelligent creatures, this research may indicate that rats are much smarter than people perceive them to be.

I asked “blank” what their opinion on rats were and then showed them the videos, here’s what they said.

The world of science never ceases to amaze us.

For our final story, a six-year old boy brought a loaded gun to his Ohio school.

The student was caught after telling a classmate about the gun, which was hidden in his backpack. The gun was apparently the boy’s grandfathers. 

Gun control has been a highly debated topic among students of all forms of education. Morningside students seemed to have differing opinions on the subject. We asked ‘’’’’’’ what they thought of the story and the issue of gun control in general. 

Whether for or against, it seems gun control and the dangers of guns will be a prominent topic and issue in our modern times.

Thank you for listening tune in again tomorrow night at 6 central time.

“Travis Scott is a god among men.” exclaimed Riley when he was asked about who he looked up to most. He said the first time he ever listened to his music he “transcended reality” and “hasn’t been the same since”. Riley may have been saying things this way to make a more entertaining story, but these statements show who he is as a person.

Riley Collins can turn a dull conversation, into a humorous and entertaining experience in an instant. He likes to play video games and listen to music. These simple questions were answered in a very entertaining and humorous way. Along with his hobbies, Riley is very passionate about sports as he is on the Morningside Football team.

Riley grew up in Sioux City and wanted to continue to contribute to the city by staying close for college while simultaneously saving money by doing so. As for what he wants to do in the future, he isn’t too sure yet.

Breaking news:

A shooting injures a woman who was in her own home in Lincoln Ne. 

The shooting occurred near 17th and B streets after the woman answered questions given to her by two unidentified men. The men ended up shooting her in the chest, then ran off in a white Honda Civic. She is expected to survive and the local police are asking for help identifying the suspects who were reportedly both wearing hoods at the time.

In other news, a thief managed to steal over 5,000 dollars from a newly-wed’s reception in Florida.

Nabbing 5,000 dollars in gifts, the thief managed to nab a bag full of gift certificates, cash, and cards from the grooms own truck. The theft took place in a very short time period and the groom and bride are not happy. 

My initial reaction was like this, this is actually real?” the groom told NBC News on Wednesday. “Like people do this?”

The venue shared surveillance video of the theft, in hopes of catching the cold-hearted thief. The video showed a woman circling the parking lot in a silver Ford Explorer

“They waited, and as soon as the father of the bride put that bag in Chris’ truck, she walked up to the truck,” Brandy Harlan, the venue’s director of marketing and lead coordinator, said in a video. “And then she ran through the bushes to her car that was waiting,” Harlan added.

For our final story, a six-year old boy brought a loaded gun to his Ohio school.

The student was caught after telling a classmate about the gun, which was hidden in his backpack. The gun was apparently the boy’s grandfathers. The day could have ended a lot worse and thankfully the weapon was discovered in time.  The police are now warning people to keep their firearms locked up and out-of-reach of children.

Imagine losing your life over a chicken sand which.

A man was fatally stabbed after attempting to cut line for a Popeyes chicken sand which.

The event occurred at a Popeyes in Oxion Hills Maryland, and the suspect and the woman seen with him are still at large. The victim, Kevin Tyrell Davis aged 28, cut a line made for people ordering the chicken sand which and when he got to the counter, chaos ensued. He was confronted by an unknown suspect, resulting in him being stabbed once in the upper body.

I feel that this story had good news value because it was about the trend of the Popeye’s chicken sand which. I cannot believe someone would kill someone over a chicken sand which. The writers do a good job of describing things in detail and the headline and lead really got me to continue reading the article.
