MO Representative Weighs in on How College Students Can Be Politically Active The Montage interviews Rep. Peter Merideth

mary wilson opinions editor
lected representatives in the Missouri legislature are faced with some of the most important issues affecting the state. This session, the representatives in the Missouri legislatures have introduced a plethora of bills, about everything from Medicaid to gambling to the Second Amendment. Rep. Peter Merideth (D) of the 80th District, St. Louis City, shared what he thinks are the most important issues for the general public to care about, and what college students can do to be more involved about the issues they’re passionate about. “I would say that the first and biggest thing that all Missourians should pay attention to is the money,” said Merideth. “The state really does pay for a lot of the things we depend on, and the things that we’ll need to depend on for the coming centuries, things like Broadband across the state, so that everyone has access to high speed internet.” Merideth continued, “When areas of our cities and areas of rural Missouri
don’t have any access to high-speed internet, that keeps them from participating in the modern economy, and it holds us back as a state.” Meredith also said he recognizes that tax cuts have affected the state. “For the last decade, we’ve had a whole lot of cuts to taxes, mostly for wealthy Missourians and corporations,” Merideth said. That means that there’s less money to pay for things like “roads and bridges, and education, and healthcare.” Merideth said that although the state had to borrow money last year to pay for maintenance of roads and bridges, maintenance is still not where it should be. “For the first time in our history,” Merideth said, “Our money (for roads and bridges) is coming not just from taxes, but from general revenue.” That means things like paying for the maintenance and safety of roads and bridges--something everybody across the state benefits from--comes from the same budget that is used to fund schools and healthcare. Merideth said that because there’s not enough money to go around, transportation to school is suffering. Merideth said some school districts in
Missouri are “having to drop to four day weeks, because they can’t afford to get their kids to school.” Another hot button issue is Medicaid expansion. “The voters passed Medicaid expansion...and now we have to see it get implemented,” Merideth explained. “Some people are trying to make changes to Medicaid and who’s eligible, putting in things called “Work Requirements”, that really create another layer of bureaucracy to kick people off. We saw 100,000 kids (in the state of Missouri) kicked off (Medicaid) last year that shouldn’t have been kicked off.” Merideth also said that there is a budget issue. “We’re trying to make sure we have the initial money we need in order to bring in the federal dollars that will actually save us money in the long run, but we have to find that money right away,” he said What can people--including college students--do if they want to get involved? For one, taking political science classes can help students learn the basics of how our government works. “Find out who your
rep(representative) is, and be in touch with them,” Merideth said. “Ask them if they want to get coffee and talk about the things that they’re working on, because honestly most of us are excited when we hear from a constituent that takes an interest in what we’re doing. We’d love to sit down and talk about what you care about.” Meredith also said using social media to reach out to legislature members is a solid practice. “Aside from those direct meetings... following people on Facebook that are active, on Twitter that are active,” Merideth said. “Emails are good. Inperson meetings are always best, phone calls are next, but...you’d be surprised at how few emails we get as state legislators. On the federal level, people know to email their senator. But a lot of times, people don’t even know who their state rep is.” Merideth said that although personal emails are best, even the form emails located on government websites make a difference. “If we get 10 emails on a subject, we can tell that that subject has a lot of interest from people, because that’s more than what we usually get,” he said.

ithin 12-18 months, Saint Louis Community College will open a new childcare facility at its Forest Park campus. Funded by $4 million through the CARES Act, this center will offer onsite childcare for up to 60 children at once and join STLCC’s existing child care support. This support includes the childcare center at STLCC-Florissant Valley and the Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) Program, a grant that allows students to receive childcare at regional accredited childcare centers outside of the college. CCAMPIS is “just a fantastic resource that a lot of people aren’t aware of,” said Dr. Julie Fickas, the Campus President and Chief Academic Officer of STLCC-Forest Park. She also said that CCAMPIS funds are “under-utilized at this point,” so any eligible student who applies for CCAMPIS support should be able to receive some assistance through the program. However, for students who need more support than STLCC currently offers, Forest Park’s upcoming

childcare center may give many students with unmet childcare needs the means to receive an education, said Dr. Fickas. “We [the STLCC administration] certainly think that it has the opportunity to allow folks the resources that they might need to attend classes,” Dr. Fickas said. “We certainly hope that it does that for people who might want to come to St. Louis Community College who have been held back because they don’t have childcare needs met or dependable child care needs met.”
Photo from STLCC Website Access to this childcare center will not be limited to Forest Park students, said Fickas. “[The center is] districtwide for any STLCC student to use,” she said, adding that “faculty and staff are able to utilize those services as well.” The new center should significantly benefit the STLCC community, said Fickas: “It opens up a lot of doors for our students. And that’s really the prime motivator, to make sure our students are supported in the best ways we can.”

4 ART & LIFE
February 4, 2021
‘A Promised Land’ is a triumph Barack Obama, as expected, has a lot to say. jacob politte online editor “A Promised Land,” the first of two autobiographies covering the Barack Obama Administration and the man himself, is 768 pages long, and its timeline only covers events up until the death of Osama Bin Laden. But despite the incredible length, the former President manages to do something else that is incredible: make every sentence feel important. Throughout the massive recounting of his beginnings in politics and the majority of his first term in the White House, Obama never loses the reader’s attention. He talks in detail about his upbringing and his mother, the harsh and often repetitive grind of politics in Springfield, Illinois where he began his political rise, and beginning in Chapter 10, the first few years of his time as President. What stands out is how content Obama seems with what we accomplished, despite the incredible opposition to his policies for seemingly no reason at all. While he definitely has choice words for people like Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham and Sarah Palin, they don’t seem to be rooted in so much in their political standings as they are rooted in who they are as individual people. And, he has plenty of nice things to say about many
others, including many Republicans. It’s his comments about Palin, however, that really stand out when reflecting on the events since his presidency, noting that the type of following she culminated led directly to a shift in the ideology of the Republican Party and led directly to the rise of President Donald Trump. What also stands out is just how unplanned his political career seemed to come together, almost by pure luck and sheer chance. Obama recounts multiple times just how much his wife Michelle does not like politics, and Obama comes across as someone who would be just as happy if he never stepped into a political battleground. He comes across as someone who wanted the political positions that he held not for the sake of having power, but with the intent of doing some good for the American citizens. Obama had stumbles, some of which are discussed in this novel (such as his struggle to combat the fallout of the 2008 economic crisis), as well as his honest self-reflection on his shortcomings. More are likely to be discussed in the next book that he writes, as there were plenty of major events that took place during his second term. But for now, Obama’s first presidential volume is more than enough to hold readers over. It’s also one of the better presidential memoirs to date.

Engineering Student Finds His Niche An Interview With Meramec Student Shane Davis
C
Dakota Faye Staff Writer ollege has not been the same since COVID-19 began restricting normal ways of life.
Many students made the decision to take the semester off. For many, college has become a difficult task to manage due to so many unique circumstances. For example, some classes are predominantly online and a lack of technology could pose a problem. While some have decided to forgo college altogether, many are persevering despite the pandemic, including 19year old Shane Davis. Davis graduated from Rockwood Summit and is currently a freshman at STLCC - Meramec. He has lived in the area for his entire life and said he enjoys looking at the sunset and sunrise in the parking lot of Twin Oaks. He learned about Meramec through his high school and living in St. Louis and is attending through the A+ program. After finishing his two years at Meramec, Davis said he is looking
into transferring to Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville, University of Central Missouri, or Missouri University of Science and Technology. When he is not working or doing school work, Davis is creating things on his 3D printer. He taught himself how to 3D print his junior year of high school and hasn’t stopped since. The very first thing he learned how to print was a V-6 engine assembly. One of his favorite things to make is a mechanical octopus with movable legs; It takes 15 ½ hours to complete. Over time he has made many things including: rings, balancing birds, and even a miniature Dalek from the TV show “Doctor Who.” Davis is pursuing a major in engineering — specializing in mechanics — and a possible minor in computers or electrical. When asked why he chose engineering out of over 80 possible programs of study, Davis said, “I have always loved designing things and solving problems, which is a very big part of engineering.” Requiring skill in math and physics, engineering could be considered a
challenging degree to pursue, he said. This challenge is magnified by COVID-19, he said. Davis said he has learned that virtual learning takes good time management skills and consistent self-discipline. His go-to study snack is Goldfish Crackers. One tip that has gotten him through his first year of college is remembering to check his email and Blackboard regularly for changed due dates or important notices from professors. “If you have enough dedication and are willing to put in the work, it’s worth it in the end,” he said, on how challenging school can be. He said he sees engineering especially as a versatile discipline. Overall, engineering can be a rewarding path once you have found your niche, said Davis. “Your engineering degree does not promise that exact work. You will learn many different disciplines over time. And when you find work, it will be a combination of all of them. Your degree will only be what you specialize in,” he said.
Bake: During the pandemic, is a good time to perfect your baking skills and there are millions of different recipes on the internet. You can bake Valentine’s sweets or really anything, try something new! Again, you can do this by yourself or with others.
Take a Hike: Being in Missouri, never know what the weather is going to be like. But taking a scenic walk through a park and getting fresh air can make a huge difference in mental and physical health. You can either do it by yourself (be careful and don’t put yourself in danger) or with someone (again, be careful), there are so many different parks you can walk and hike around in the St. Louis Area.
Go for a Drive: Not a fan of the cold, enough to go for a walk? That’s okay! Grab your keys, your significant other or friends and go for a drive and explore new places without having to deal with the cold weather! Get out of your comfort zone. Have a movie marathon: Doesn’t have to
cliche love stories, any movies will work. Grab some popcorn, your newly baked sweets, and some drinks for movie night. Enjoy a relaxing night in.

Exercise: Have that New Year’s resolution and keeping up with it? Trying to get back into shape? Well, you can exercise literally anywhere: inside someone’s place, at a gym (COVID-19 restrictions), or a park. So grab yourself, a friend, your significant other, or anyone and go out and become a better version of yourself.

An eager goodbye to the Trump administration mary wilson opinions editor
On Election Day in 2016, after the race had been called in favor of Donald Trump, I felt deflated. I felt hopeless. I felt like I had been lied to. Most of all, perhaps, I felt scared. I was right to be scared. From one unprecedented event to the next (I’ve never wanted to live in precedented times so much), I felt my heart sink more and more. I read live coverage of the Muslim Ban in between classes. I saw fundraisers for the American Civil Liberties Union pop up on my Facebook feed with increasing frequency. Help us, the text seemed to say. We need your help more than ever. From one Executive Order to the next, I felt like my world was unraveling. Push notifications from news apps on my phone kept me updated on the President’s Twitter account. I wanted to turn the notifications off, but I felt like I needed to be aware. If I couldn’t do anything else, at least I didn’t have my head in the sand. Again, and again, and again, and again. The ban on transgender members of the military. Withdrawing from treaties and agreements. Separating migrant children from their parents, and then, as if it couldn’t get worse, the starting of “tender age” shelters. Again, and again, and again, and again. After four long years, America said “Enough!” Record voter turnout—even in the midst of the
worst pandemic in 100 years—propelled Joe Biden to victory. We all know what happened next. Like a story being read aloud one too many times, we know the words. Despite Trump’s best efforts, a new president was sworn in. After the train wreck that was noted homophobe and bigot Vice President Mike Pence, we have a new Vice President—Kamala Harris, a woman of color. To say I am excited for the next four years would be an understatement. Mainly, though, I’m relieved. I feel like I can finally take a deep breath. I’m unsure what the next four years will bring. While Joe Biden was not my first choice out of the horde of democrats who entered the race, I am eager to wish him well. This doesn’t mean that I’m going to give the Biden/Harris administration a free pass for whatever they want to do. As a journalist—as an active participant in our democracy—I need to do more. The other day, while I was cleaning off the stacks of books and paper and piles of broken pencils off my desk in preparation for the spring semester beginning, I wandered out to the kitchen with another armload of papers for the recycling bin. I paused to listen to one of the talk shows my mom keeps on during the day for noise. One of the talk show hosts was talking about
‘Watch_Dogs: Legion’ is too ambitious for its own good
graphic by: Ashley biundo putting country over party. While I’ve only ever voted for Democrats (and with the way the Republican party is headed, I can’t see myself voting for a Republican anytime soon), I still feel an obligation to my country. Even though the Democrats won—even though Trump is out of office—our work is not done. Biden isn’t perfect, and while I’m excited for something closer to stability rather than the tumultuous events of the past four years, I’m going to continue to stand up and fight for what’s right. For now, though, I’m excited to say:
We need your vote!
The third installment in the video game series takes advantage of its location, but stumbles with its mechanics jacob politte online editor Fans of the “Watch_Dogs” video game series have been waiting for five years for a new installment. Were those five years worth the wait? The most positive thing that can be said about the “Watch_Dogs” series is that they always try their best to give its players a different kind of gaming experience, and that the environment to play in is always full of life. Every bystander has a story that you can catch a glimpse of. In this game, the massive city of London is as compelling of a location as one can hope to play within. That being said, none of the good things about “Legion” take away from its massive faults. The game feels disorganized, more often than not. It feels repetitive too, not just in terms of the structure of each “mission” but down to the repetitive dialogue. That dialogue is almost a necessary evil in this installment, as you can play as literally almost anyone that you come across within the game; the player is able to switch between characters while roaming the city. The characters often look different but speak in similar patterns, and it is noticeable just how strange they all sound. It definitely is noticeable enough to take away from the game experience. In terms of the plot of the game, that is set in a fictional, futuristic post-Brexit London, the main story takes a serious, darker turn as opposed to “Watch_Dogs 2.” I personally enjoyed the more light-hearted feel of the second game more, but this installment finds a more acceptable middle ground between the feel of the first and second games; the first game, released back in 2014, takes itself more seriously than it should.
“Legion” is definitely not a wasted effort. The developers at Ubisoft did their best to try and create a new, fun kind of video game experience, and deserve to be commended for that. However, the game is too rough around the edges to be considered anything resembling revolutionary. Hopefully by the time “Watch_Dogs 4” is released, whenever that may be, the kinks will be worked out, and the game will finally live up to the hype that it always generates. Game Rating: 3.5/5 Stars

What was once a dream is now a reality
I
Andrew Crowdus Staff writer
I had the interview, and as I walked through the empty Busch Stadium on a cold January day I was in shock. They walked me down the Home Clubhouse, and showed me the clubhouse. They then walked me into a conference room for the interview. Three weeks later, I received a call from that same HR rep saying that I was hired. Come April, we worked the season opener. Walking through a busy Busch Stadium on the ground floor not accessible to fans was amazing. As I scanned my ID, and walked into the clubhouse it all became a reality for me. Growing up in St. Louis, it’s natural for people to love the Cardinals. I am one of those people, but I am also very passionate. I could talk about the Cardinals for hours and not get bored. This job made me an even bigger fan of the game because the experience I had is so rare. 2020 was going to be my second year as a batboy, but when the COVID-19 hit the season was delayed.
n December of 2018, I looked into applying for an usher position with the St. Louis Cardinals. I had heard about this potential opportunity from a family friend and was anxious for the application to open up so I could apply. When it finally did, I found the position of Home Clubhouse Batboy open as well. I figured it was a long shot thinking I’d have to have connections within the organization to get hired for that type of position. Given this was a boyhood dream of mine, I applied. I heard back about the usher position and actually was hired before I heard back for an interview for the Batboy position. However, when I was on my way home from a weekend trip I received a phone call from an HR rep with the Cardinals. They said the Home Clubhouse Manager was impressed with my resume and wanted to set up an interview.
In July I was told they couldn’t have batboys, and needed to have less clubhouse staff around players and coaches. The hope is that 2021, the season is more normal and there will be fans allowed and I’ll be back out there. With the hope of being a sportswriter in the future, this job certainly brings experience that is truly unique and rare. It is definitely something that will stand out when I am looking to find a job. 2019 was the best year of my life. I achieved a dream job I had only dreamt about for years. Being on the field for NLCS Game 1, being in the clubhouse during the champagne celebration after we had clinched the NL Central, meeting Hall of Famers are all experiences I will never forget and I’ll be able to share for a long time. For anyone who thinks their dreams may be too big, don’t be afraid to dream bigger. I never dreamt I’d walk through the Cardinals Clubhouse but that came true. Chase your dreams, and if you’re lucky,
Submitted photo they may just become a reality.
