Question and Answer with President Kaplan
BY ANNA DOWNS
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

O          n Nov. 7, President
Kaplan sat down for an in-stu-
dio interview with the Charger
Bulletin News, conducted by
editor-in-chief Anna Downs.
The interview covered subjects
such as the new Bergami Center
for Innovation and Technology
as well as housing, and retire-
ment rumors.

Q: What can you tell us about the new Bargami Innovation                    Q: How do you feel the university handled the housing issue from last semester? Will the university

there as early as April, but certainly for the fall.

                                                                            A: Sheahon Zenger is an incredible hire. He is a national figure. He...is very excited about being

                                                                            get there, the prospects, I think, are very good. We’ve talked to several conferences... we’re on our way.

                                                                            Q: Where do we stand with the College of Arts and Sciences Dean search?
                                                                            A: We stand right at the edge of completing it. Next week, we have two candidates coming in. And
                                                                            then the week after that, two more, and the week after that, we’ll hope that we’ll have hired someone.
                                                                            It’s a great pool, very good candidates.

                                                                            Q: There have been rumors on campus that you will be retiring. Would you like to give a statement

                                                                            A: I was just asked this by Ralph DellaCamera, whose name is on the stadium, last night over din-

    Beto O’Rourke Discusses Gun
 Violence with Newtown Community
BY JENNIFER KORN

F
STUDENT LIFE EDITOR

         ormer U.S. presidential
candidate Beto O’Rourke vis-
ited Newtown on Oct. 30, and
talked about gun violence.
  (O’Rourke dropped out of the
presidential race two days after
the event. The New York Times
reported that O’Rourke with-
drew from the race because of a
lack of funding.)
  Local gun law activists coor-
dinated with O’Rourke’s team
to bring him to Connecticut.
  “It’s an opportunity for our
community members and activ-
ists who have been involved in
the movement since the Sandy
Hook tragedy to interact with a
presidential candidate that has
put forth very comprehensive
goals, strategies to end gun
violence,” said Po Murray,
chairwoman of Newtown Action
Alliance.
  O’Rourke agreed to support
several proposals as a candidate.
Those included creating an of-
fice of gun violence prevention
and nationalizing Ethan’s law, a
safe storage law.
  He also touched on systemic
issues in the country.
  “We’re never going to be able
to address the root causes of
the problems that we see.” said
O’Rourke. “Know that wheth-
er I am the candidate or the
nominee, or private citizen in
West Texas, I am with you every
single step of the way until we
fully and finally address these
challenges.”                               Photo By Anna Downs/ The Charger Bulletin
