Liberal vs. Conservative Sophomore Matthew McKetty and junior Mendel Goldstein discuss the differences of the two presidential candidates.
In this issue of the Devil’s Advocate, the staff worked together to showcase the results of our 2012 Mock Election. The election gave the students who aren’t old enough to vote, a chance to express their opinion. The election of our future president is important for all of us to consider because they are the spokesperson of our future. I hope that everyone who participated, especially in the national election, took their true values into consideration (you can check out some student’s views in the Opinions section). In addition to the results, we included a variety of other stories. Incorporating our fellow students into the paper is a big addition. You might notice in the Student Life section, we have a section titled #OnlyAtStanton. This is for all of my fellow tweeters to get involved by tweeting things that kids “only at Stanton” would understand. We are always looking for contributing writers and new ideas. Let us know if you’re looking for a chance to voice your opinion or if you’d like to make a suggestion for future story ideas! photo by Kathryn McMullen
