Free your children: A longer lunch
Lunch is barely a fraction of the overall school day. Should Samo extend the time it allocates to students for lunch?
Is it time to put the dogs away
Flip-flops seem to be taking over our trend cycle at the moment; it’s almost like you can’t escape them. Flip-flops have been a popular footwear choice for a while. Celebrities and people around Samo have been wearing them, but should this trend continue?
Something needs to be done about parking at samo
The student parking shortage at Samo is absurd. As of now there is no subsidized school-provided option for students to park on or close to campus, nor any plans to address this issue.
Accessibility issues leave samo primed for disaster
Samo began a massive transformation at the start of the 2010s, tearing down many of its old buildings and replacing them with new ones. The redesign of much of the Samo campus was largely motivated by a desire to modernize and improve student and faculty life, but this has completely excluded those with physical disabilities. Disabled students are left in an extremely dangerous situation as virtually every new building is without safe exits in case elevators aren't working.
Should AIPAC be forced to register under FARA?
The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) requires groups that donate to political campaigns to disclose publicly if they are representing foreign interests. This law acts to prevent hidden foreign interests in our politics and ensures voters have an encompassing interpretation of the government’s actions. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is a bipartisan pro-Israel lobbying group that advocates its policies to the legislative and executive branches of the US government. According to ai-pacpac.org, AIPAC donated over $53 million to support the campaigns of 361 Democratic and Republican candidates, in the 2024 election cycle.
