[They]
arranged
strategic plans [on] how
those past rates are going
to increase and you will
see them increase, said
Nechtem.
She explained that the
type of enrollment that
Suffolk has had in recent
years is one factor that
contributes to this decline
but Nechtem said she
believed the universitys
reputation as a law school
will not change because
of these current rates.
Lamb
agreed
with
Nechtem, and mentioned
that this change would not
happen overnight, and is
partly due to the processes
in which students are
admitted and educated.
Additionally, Lamb said
that the reputation and
long term goals for
Suffolk are in mind as
well while looking for a
president to manage
and
strengthen
the
university.

[for] the reputation of
Suffolk in the external

Boston
police
began
arriving in caravans of
multiple squad vehicles
at the Common. A few
blocks away, a group
of officers dressed in
black tactical gear sat
down at Viva Burrito, a
Mexican restaurant, only
to have radio chatter
summon them out of the
restaurant.
It is going to be a long
night, said one of the
officers as they began for
the door. A couple others
offered sighs and grunts
of agreement. As they
exited the restaurant,
more than five police
motorcycles
sped
by
toward the direction of
the Boston Common.
Suffolk senior Kaity
Conery was present in
the Common to take
part in the protest with
friends, Matt Berard and
Michelle Lefrancois. They
described the tears, anger
and disbelief they had in
reaction to the election
results.
I just cant stop
thinking about all the
people that this affects,
said
Conery.
The
president
follows
the
people. Gay marriage
didnt get passed until
people
wanted
it.
[Obama] was for it once
enough people were for
it. Thats why rallies are
so important.
They hoped to change
the
perception
that
America has one of the
younger
generation,
which
has
been
repeatedly criticized for
low voter turnout rates
and
disconnect
from
American politics.
Hopefully this shows
that
millennials
are
actually willing to do
something about it. said
Lefrancois. We have such
a bad stigma that were
stationed
around
the
rally. They stayed further
away from the gathering
than they had for the
previous twwo days, one
officer stated that it has
been relaxed because of
the peaceful nature of the
protests.
It has been completely
peaceful, unlike what
has been going on in
other cities in America,
said one of the officers
who prefered to remain
unnamed.
Around the country,
many
other
protests
have taken place. Unlike
Boston, some of these
protests have not been
benign. In Portland, two
anti-Trump
protesters
were arrested after a
man was shot during
a demonstration early
Saturday
morning,
according to the Seattle
Times. On Friday, 187
individuals were arrested
in Los Angeles during
a protest made up of
more than 8,000 people,
according to CNN. That
night,
11
protesters
were arrested in New
York during protests.
On Sunday, three more
protesters were arrested
in
downtown
Austin
during a small skirmish,
according to multiple
news sources. Boston
has no confirmed arrests
related to protests, as
of
early
Wednesday
morning.
As the demonstrations
continue
across
the
country, signs of slowing
down
have
not
yet
showed. As the arrests
rack up, dissent has been
increasingly
publicized.
Many are looking to
Obama, Clinton and the
rest of the Democratic
left
to
advise
their
constituency on how to
proceed.

Im sorry. I am so
sorry for your loss.
My
friends
from
Norway,
the
United
Kingdom
and
France
said to me as I assume
my seat in class. Here in
Paris, France where I am
currently an exchange
student, its rainy and gray
once again, but today the
feeling of somber fits the
tone of the day too well.
I didnt come from a
funeral or find out about
a death in my family.
Its Nov. 9, 2016 and I
woke up for class to the
official results of the
United States Presidential
Election. For the U.S.
some would see this event
as a curse, others viewed
it as a blessing. Shocking
for all, though, as this
man with no political
or military background
could and would be
taking the position of the
most recognized leader in
the world.
Before
heading
to
school, I contemplated
on taking a mental health
day, fearing that I would
stick out too much in
the crowded streets of
Paris and hallways of my
school as an American.
Nonetheless, I dressed in
all black, in solidarity and
mourning as an attempt
to blend in to the crowd
the best that I could, and
headed to class.
I was greeted with
not only condolences,
but confusion upon my
arrival at school Because
it has become understood
worldwide that America
has possibly made one
of the biggest mistakes
in history electing a
president with so much
baggage, an unspecified
campaign
and
what
some might consider to
be extremist views the
United States has worked
so hard to sweep under
the rug.
Sitting in class, I
was faced with not only
attempting to keep the
tears out of my eyes, but
to attempt to explain how

Are you nervous about
his ideas on bombing ISIS
and his close friendship
with Russia?
Are

As a 20-year-old female
identifying as a liberal
democrat, I answered
the questions without
being biased to the best
of my ability, despite the
sadness and heartache I
was feeling.
Truthfully,
starting
this period that will be
full of uncertainty while
living on the other side of
the pond I am distraught. I
have never felt so divided
in my feelings as to where
I should physically be in

for possible rape and
sexual assault?

Weigi Zhang, Suffolk
University
Assistant
Professor of Government
with a focus on political
science, gave insight about
his experience voyaging
through
North
Korea
during an installment of
the WorldBoston lecture
series. He spoke of his
journey to North Korea
in May of 2015. He stayed
for three days and four
nights. His goal for the
trip was to learn about
North Korean culture and
the way of living there.
North Korea has long
been regarded as a high
danger place to travel
to under the communist
regime of Kim Jong Un,
during the governmental
conflict between North
and
South
Korea,
according to Zhang.
There was a strict set
of rules that he was forced
to follow while on a tour.
The most critical rule
forbade any individual
from disrespecting leaders
or the regime itself. If
an individual failed to
comply, the North Korean
government
would
imprison them.

When contemporary
art is discussed, with
it comes a undeniable
stigma.
An
aura
of
superiority and an air
of high intelligence is
instilled.
It can be considered
a
minority
in
the
entertainment industry,
compared to attendances
to
world
renowned
museums of fine art such
as the Louvre in Paris or
the National Galleries in
London.
What some people
must understand is that
contemporary art is a
concept that is incredibly
artist-perspective driven.
Anything
an
artist
creates is not always for
a designated audience,
but rather its purpose
serves the artist and their
experiences.
In the case of A Letter
to My Nephew, the latest
production of awardwinning
choreographer
Bill
T.
Jones,
the
experience
portrayed
stems from the roller
coaster of a life led by a
gay man, Jones nephew,
Lance T. Briggs. Briggs
is presently paralyzed
from the waist down after
leading a life involving
drugs and prostitution
at a very young age.
This piece conveys the
emotions that arise from
a letter from his uncle
during
his
nephews
hospitalization.
This is what I call
an ancillary work, said
Jones in a recent phone
interview with The Suffolk
Journal prior to the
show. I am working on
a trilogy which is inspired
by reading a novel by
a great German writer,
W. G. Sebald called The
Emigrants.
According
to
Jones, the novel used
extremely
personal
and
autobiographical
information,
which
resulted in his inspiration
to create a series of works
public
demonstrations,
as well as projecting onto
the dance do you feel
safe? when asking his
nephew if he felt safe in
Tampa, FL in the letter.
The piece itself is a
deeply emotional and
personal journey where
intense stimulation from
varying
dance
styles
are choreographed to
explosive sound tracks
creates an entirely new
experience. Dance styles
include hip-hop, modern
or even sometimes a
strange hybrid of these
dances.
The score is an eclectic
mix of classical, house
music, natural sounds
and songs popular in the
1920s, according to Jones.
The
work
referenced
politics and culture along
with a portrayal of the
relationship
between
Jones and his nephew.
Its like chess pieces,
my work, if you look at
it, you have to get in the
frame of mind that youre
dealing with a puzzle,
said Jones. Theres a lot
of elements there that
have to be combined
and recombined. Thats
the pleasure of it. Its a
collage, a collage that you
have to relax and give
yourself to.
This is true, once the
audience had a chance
to settle into the spirited
performance, it became
clear that a story was
being woven together like
a tapestry, one strand and
one dance at a time.
Contemporary
art,
more specifically this
performance,
unites
and allows for a certain
freedom of expression
in the purest emotional
form whereas other forms
of media like painting or
spoken word would not
do the same justice to a
powerful experience. A
true emotional experience
was conveyed on the
stage at the Institute of
Contemporary Art.
Jones
is
currently
working
on
the
choreography for the
third and final installment
in his trilogy and said he
hopes to begin rehearsals
in the upcoming weeks.

It is time to stop protesting something we cannot control. It is time to talk to legislators, vote in local
elections and re-establish the Senate and the House. Stand up for what you believe in but do not focus
on just one leader. The Senate and the House are just as important as the president.
It is uncertain to who the non-voters would have chosen as the preferred candidate, but they could have easily made a difference in the
election if they went out and cast their ballots.
With that said, the current anti-Trump protests are a little too late as he was fairly crowned President-Elect. Although I voted for and
support Clinton, Donald Trump was chosen but the Electoral College, a system put in place by the Founding Fathers, which seems to never
have been spoken about as a problem until this recent election.
There were similar protests when Barack Obama was first elected president but not to the extreme of President-Elect Trump, where tens
of thousands of people, mostly students, have been orchestrating walkouts in urban areas.
It does not, however, seem that we are as divided as a nation as the media has portrayed. Whether we choose to believe it or not, the
media, including social media, can sway people to think a certain way. Especially with this past election, the media made both sides look
bad, swaying voters one way or another.

Editors Word
Post-election events have
seen a string of reactions
from universities across the
nation. Many students in
the United States, as well
as those studying abroad,
have felt the shake of the
silent majority rock the
nation into a shocking, and
otherwise, unexpected win for
the president-elect Donald
Trump. For The Suffolk
Journal, we look to those who
were involved in this such
silent community of voters
and students.
In no way will The Journal
censor an opinion article
or letter to the Editor that
looks to display support
that does not align with
the majority of our readers
views. Instead, we encourage
it.
Clearly, from the results
of this election, the silent
majority has thought that
they have not been able
to project their voice for a
number of reasons that were
spoken on after the results
came through in the early
hours last Wednesday and
arguably shown in those
results.
The Journal asks you, the
Suffolk community, to now
submit pieces and letters
to our editorial board
for publication. We The
Journal, and the nation,
need your voice now more
than ever.

It would be wise for
the other half of the
nation to start speaking

opinions so we do not
seem so divided. What
is stopping you all from
saying something?
Understandably, many
citizens dont enjoy talking
about politics or this past
election. However, this
was the time for everyone
to join together and unify
with their parties to elect
a candidate the country
would be happy with. As
of right now, the country
does not seem unified.
But again, 100 million
citizens did not vote.
This is not an accurate

Because
he
was
so
accustomed to this sort
of lifestyle, he said how
it made it easier for
him to adapt to having
a coach and following
his instructions. Being a
part of a team was a new
aspect in Campisanos
life, but he explained how
meeting up with his team
at the Charles River for
practices was one of the
best parts of this season.
We would all sit on
the bleachers and discuss
what we thought Coach
Petersons work out was
going to be, he said.
Coach
would
always
have us do a ten minute
warm-up run before our
actually main work out,
and we all just shoot the
breeze and talk about our
day. It was kind of
therapeutic.
Campisano compared
how he served as a
member in the military to
being a student athlete.
You have to be in
better than average shape
to be in the Army Infantry
and
attend
advanced
training, like the Special
Forces, he said. You
train daily to become a
better soldier just like you
run daily doing specific
training to become a
better runner.

devastating
injuries
