Do you know whats going on in the world?

Faculty and Students are asked what they think is interesting in current or recent news and what they think is under reported.

Justin Ternent, a senior music management major from Frostburg, Md, thinks that the most interesting story he has heard in the news is about an Ohio democratic senator named Nina Turner who recently proposed a bill, that is written like the abortion bill, that says that men must get a second opinion from a psychologist before they can be prescribed Viagra. Ternent then states that the most under reported story is the homosexual side of the gay marriage proposal. He believes that “nobody has asked the homosexuals how they feel about the bills being passed.”

Ellen Grolman, a professor in the music department, thinks that the most recent story that has caught her attention is the story that in southern Israel the Hamas bombed a school. The school however was emptied because the Israeli government had received intelligence about the matter. This touched her heart because she “is Jewish and likes to hear and know what is going on in Israel." To Dr. Grolman the most under reported story in the news right now is how “the men behind the banking/ foreclosure have walked away with multi-million dollar stipends, when they have left hundreds or thousands of people poor.” Her main question was “why have there not been any consequences for their actions.”

Maureen Lauder, the administrative assistant for the nursing department, thinks that the most current story that has caught her attention is the issue with Syria and their human rights. She states, “I think that the fact that the people don’t have basic human rights is something that people need to know.” When asked what she thought was the most under reported story in the news she said, “The tsunami that occurred in Japan. I feel like it happened was talked about and then went away. It would have been nice to know what happened.”
