As I looked at the KSU Sentinel, I found myself drawn in by
the sports pieces of the website. I read
into the articles about the Owls football team and their amazing season full of
ups and downs. The story that best caught my attention was the article “Growing
Pains Surface in Final Home Game”. This article dove into season that the owls
football team was having. In the aricle written by Mason Wittner, Wittner talks
about the amazing season that the team has mustarded together. Going 2-1 in conference play and stunning
their region has been a hot topic of the student body. But some concerns about
the team have recently surfaced. First and foremost, the attendance at the
games from students and families has been minimal. Another thing that has deterred an audience
is the fact that towards the end of their season, many of the owls were riddled
with injuries. One of the injuries that shocked everyone however was the injury
to starting quarterback Trey White. In that game we saw the Big South’s best
rushing attack vs. the nations best defense. Soon after the first play that
went in for the touchdown, the owls went into a 3 quarter rut that lasted till
the last ten minutes of the game. Wittner also go to talk with head coach
Bohannon after the game. He said that we as a student body and fan base have to
look at the bigger picture and still keep our faith in the team.

Welcome back readers,
Today i will be touching on a letter to the editor that just didn't match what the article was truly speaking of. In an article by the New York Times magazine, they touched on how drugs are one of the main causes of death for teenagers across the country. In the article, it talks about a growing problem that is not helped by the push for the use of medical marijuana that is making its push in the house as well. 70% of voters are behind the idea of making medical marijuana legal in every state. This is a growing problem that The United States has had to battle on their own soil. No matter how much they try, the ability to get drugs is getting easier and easier for children 12-17 years of age. The article tells us that this is a problem that even may soon be neutralized if marijuana is finally legalized across all 50 states under a uniform process as well as the added stipulations such as alcohol, we could see a significant drop in the amount of children using. The letter to the editor touched on the other views of marijuana. While almost everyone agrees that is the lesser of two evils, it is still a hard sell for the population that are very religious and the amount of people from older generations who despise the thought of it becoming legal. They see this as a gate way to more drugs being legalized as well as teaching kids to get into another drug to start off and turning pot into today's cigarettes. It will lose its thrill of getting away with trouble and convince kids to get into worse things like meth and cocaine. This is something that is completely off beat because it is going into the effects of recreational weed being legal before medical the idea of a new problem coming without any proof. There is also a large amount of personal opinion that goes into both of these articles due to when someone was born and how they were raised. The article also touches on how weed can turn into todays alcohol and how we will see a higher amount of DUI's to come about due to people not being able to tell how bad they truly are. This article tackles more then the topic of medical marijuana, it takes on the whole process of opening up marijuana to the public at large which we have no evidence to prove this will be good or bad. So what we can take from both of these writings is that whether you are Pro-marijuana or against it, there is no proof to back up anyones statements.
Thank you for visiting and see you next time,
