1.The conflict involving historical preservation between the Labay family and the old west austin neighborhood association was that west austin is tied up in what could be the endgame of a 16-year fight over an eyesore of a vacant old house a few blocks south of the store. I believe that the labay family has a better case, in the way that they would like to destroy the house because of its health issues and its safety issues. The compromise that is being proposed would include subdividing the lot to preserve the home while allowing development on the other portion of the house. I believe that this compromise is good because that would then leave everyone involved happy, including others not involved.
2. On Tuesday UT, and A&M will compete for the contract to operate one of the nation’s nuclear weapons labs. The other people that they are partnering with is the Boeing, Battelle institute in Sandia nuclear effort. In this new task the UT and A&M student would provide research expertise, workforce training and independent peer review of the work done at sandia. The students would also add perspective to the task. I think that this proposal is a very good opportunity for the students to work together, but then again I believe that it could be very dangerous. Maybe this isn’t such a good idea for the universities to support because of the level of safety and possible drama between the students.
3.The latest news on Cosby's story is that he drugged and sexually assaulted a woman whom he once mentored, with this ruling the case will move forward. Cosby's lawyer that the former district attorney promised never to prosecute Cosby as a way to introduce him to testify in the civil suit brought by con-stand, which was settled. These might be that lamest arguments I have ever seen. I think that this story is in the right spot when it comes to being on the front page. Many women were hurt and they need justice, along with justice the community also needs to know what has happened. Many people know about this story and most people want to know about it including women.
4.The school will now be named Russell Lee instead of Robert E. Lee. Russell Lee was a photographer and also lived in the lee neighborhood. A lot of his work is actually at UT. This name was chosen because most people didn’t like the name in the first place, and the compromise that was made in order to keep the “Lee” title wads to choose someone who also had the last name Lee. On monday it was a little bit awkward because of the fact that many thought that this really didn’t change anything. Lee elementary will always be lee no matter what their first name. I agree with this because no one really calls it robert E lee
5. One way this this horrific story could end would be with firing the baylor recruiter. This scandal is about two sexual assault charges. A woman told police and hospital people that earlier that morning she had been assaulted. The handling of this case was somehow not done correctly..This article was very unclear to me. I believe that he should be let go, this case was handled very poorly and people got hurt.
1. There is a logical flaw to your answer. If you support the family because the house is unsafe, then the compromise would not work because the unsafe house would still be standing.
ReplyDelete3. The news is that Cosby will face a criminal trial. The news of him drugging and abusing women is unfortunately old news. The problem is that these incidents happened so long ago that he might not be brought to trial. But according to the story, he will face a criminal trial in at least one of the cases.
4. People wanted to keep the LEE in the name and get rid of the Confederate association with Robert E. The awkwardness was that Bettie Mann was at the meeting. The compromise was that they named the kindergarten hall after her.
5. Not a recruiter. Ken Starr is the president of the university. There are more than two players implicated. The university did not deal with the news and the charges in a timely manner.
