To get some help from these oppressors and get better living conditions

As students, we believe that standardized tests do not take into account the individual variation that exists between students, thus giving an inaccurate representation of understanding.

We hereby petition the Centre County Board of Prison Inspectors and the County Commissioners tp address this concern and provide a means for all Returning Citizens to experience daily outside exercise.

The heartless taking of life cannot go unpunished regardless of where it happens and regardless of who it happens to. Shanquella Robinson did not deserve this from those she trusted. Justice must be served.

Too many of us are harmed daily because of our beliefs. This simply antagonizes those who would harm us and makes it appear acceptable.

It’s important for the sake of our town. We need new roads. Period.

In August, the Biden administration announced an historic student debt cancellation policy, which would transform the lives of tens of millions of borrowers across the country. Despite President Biden possessing the authority to cancel student debt as per the HEROES Act, passed by Congress in 2003, right-wing MAGA Republicans have filed numerous lawsuits challenging the legality of student debt cancellation. Now, a Trump-appointed federal judge has officially blocked the cancellation program, and the Biden administration has been forced to stop accepting cancellation applications. While the case is currently being appealed to a higher court, student loan debt cancellation appears to be in jeopardy. In trying to kill this program, Republicans and their right-wing minions are trying to deny critical relief for tens of millions of families that have suffered under the crushing weight of student loan debt. This is absolutely unfathomable, and that’s why we’re demanding that they drop all litigation regarding student debt cancellation.

In 2010, Ticketmaster and Live Nation merged (which should’ve never been allowed) and now we’re all suffering: from consumer to artists to venue themselves. The only winners here are Ticketmaster and corporate influence. Ever since, tickets have been steadily raising in cost, coupled with exorbitant fees and a flawed user experience that leaves working people less likely to want to partake in the experience again. We’ve seen this so clearly with Taylor Swift tickets recently, because of the dynamic ticket system Ticketmaster has in place, the more desire there is for tickets the higher the price goes. When Taylor first announced the tour, the prices were to be capped around $499. But after the “troubles” with the queue (that Ticketmaster sent out codes for in ADVANCE), ticket prices were going up and changing as people were checking out. Third party corporations make an entire industry of scalping these tickets and buying them in waves that forces people to pay thousands of dollars to see their favorite artist. It doesn’t have to be this way. Whether you’re a swiftie or not, you know this is wrong and disappointing for people everywhere who just want to see their favorite artist or go see live music. We refuse to be silenced any longer!

When Donald Trump announced he was running for president again. we saw that the news media learned nothing from the last go-round about how to avoid his toxic manipulations. CNN covered his speech live—essentially giving him free rein to dominate airwaves and reach viewers with his narcissistic brand of conspiracy theories and abuse. And he doesn't have to pay a dime for all this free advertising. The night Trump returned to Mar-a-Lago after turning himself in on criminal charges, CNN ran Trump's speech live for 23 minutes of the 24-minute speech. The speech, which was supposedly a response to his arraignment, was actually a campaign rally, full of his usual attacks, lies, and bluster. Meanwhile, MSNBC and other mainstream media networks refused to air the speech. All news networks have a responsibility to fact-check Trump's lies, provide context and journalistic skepticism to his claims, and apply an editorial lens to when to give him airtime. In 2016, it was estimated that the major news networks gave Trump $2 billion in free airtime. [https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/16/upshot/measuring-donald-trumps-mammoth-advantage-in-free-media.html] We can't make that mistake again. News networks don't need to show his speeches live. They can cover them as news—wait until he's done, show clips within context, offer fact-checking, and stop amplifying his abusive attacks, bigoted insults, QAnon-level conspiracies, and dangerous deceptions. Trump sought to overturn and election and helped incite a deadly insurrection. We know his words carry weight. You can cover him as news—but don't serve as his personal broadcasting network. Stop covering him live. Fact-check his statements. And don't fall into the trap of giving him free airtime.

As a vast majority of the undergrad that took the exam, many did not pass the exam. Some aren't fortunate enough to be able to register another $250 exam and some aren't able to walk the stage due to an exam holding them back. The test are only given twice a year and some aren't happy to wait another semester to retake the exam. University of Houston are the only University that requires a passing score in order for undergrad to graduate. We were advised last year, students that took the AIC Level 1 Exam were off the hook due to score retrieval timing. We understand there are circumstances, but we should be able to walk the stage as well. It is important for UH to be recognized of the CM students here to be certified as a Professional Constructor and we are proud of that, but it is declining the Graduate Rates. We believe that we were not prepared enough for the exam due to the lack of preparation from our Professors. We would advise a solution on behalf of the CM undergrad to make it mandatory to take the AIC Level 1 Exam but a passing score is not require to graduate. We would like this effective as soon as possible. *Students: Please Provide Name and Student ID

Domestic violence victims and children of contentious divorced should have additional protection from their abusers. Additional professionals that are knowledgeable about mental health should be involved in such a major decision such as injunctions and whether they should be lifted or permanent. If a thorough psychological evaluation is conducted on an abuser, this may help in seeing there are underlying disorders of concern.

All voters need to be represented. We should not have groups who are disenfranchised because of partisan politics.
