Gun Control!

On Monday February 22,2016 the Austin American Statesman released an article about the legislatures need to reconsider the new campus carry law. The law basically states that public universities are to allow concealed handgun license owners to bring their weapon to school. The author argues that the public universities should have the same option as the private  universities to opt out of the gun law. The author feels this way because many of the private schools in Texas like Baylor TCU, and
SMU have opted out. I agree with author ,as a college student myself, school is a place for learning an if a school doesn't want guns on their campus then they shouldn't have to. It seems like the university of Texas doesn't want to abide to the law, well at least their dean doesn't. .However, the schools are publicly funded so they have to follow to law. One disadvantage of the public schools is that their recruitment process could be hurt because of the students' fear. I believe a school might lose a little bit of recruitment but for the most part most students will still go. Even though guns are allowed in the classroom the guns aren't allowed in dorms. Which is there for a little compromise. To most college students I don't believe it makes a difference.
in closing statements the author believes that all universities should have the option to opt out of the gun law because their dean and supervisors know best and should help decide in their favor.

 The Houston GOP Debate

The Texas Tribune on Wednesday, February 10th released an article regarding the GOP debates. It turns out that the University of Houston will host the last debate before super Tuesday. The event will be held on February 25th at the Moores Opera House on the University of Houston's campus. The University was chosen by NBC News  and National Review but then ties between the republican party and NBC fell. The republican party parted ways because they felt the debates were unfair. There was an article by The National Review that attacked Trump that help make their decision. A lot of changes happened and the University wasn't sure that they would still have the gig. Luckily CNN along with co sponsors Google and Telemundo the  debate will still take place. This article is important because we can actually go see the debate for our self. We can try to go meet the candidates and see Trumps amazing hair. Our future will be there and we want to know what they will do to better our government.
