Recent events in the national news have reaffirmed my disdainful attitude towards this nation's politics and media. Congressional deadlock, groundless ridicule of the president, the obnoxious political circus around firearm regulation, and recent scandals coming from the executive office have all served to reinvigorated my frustration with American politics.

For this installment of the Roving Reporter we asked students for their thoughts on the revised student elections policy. This spring, candidates were required to give speeches, and students had to attend the speeches in order to vote.

Yesterday, I decided to attend the Oxfam Hunger Banquet, which was hosted by the Social Justice class during lunch and Uni period. Going into the event, I was a little worried. I had only discovered the variety in food quantity that morning, and thus had not brought a back-up lunch.

Starting next week, many older Uni students that will begin to take Advanced Placement (AP) tests at other high schools--something that is necessary because we don't offer AP classes or even AP tests at Uni. I think it is a good thing that we don't offer AP classes at Uni, because we can get all the benefits of AP credit at Uni without sacrificing the quality of our classes.

Earlier this semester, the Online Gargoyle asked students to evaluate Uni’s climate and their own stress levels and we ended up with some startling results. In the last several months, much has been made of what, if anything, needs to change about Uni to make it a universally supportive environment. In the following weeks, the Gargoyle will delve into stress and climate at Uni and present our findings and opinions.
