The constant intense security presence has allowed things to become relatively the same as before, but its still hindering our daily activities with long lines and tedious checks. I’m thankful that they have been able to ensure a peaceful week, but for how long must it continue?
This limbo state is not an easy one and I find myself with a lot of questions. Not just about when we will return to normal, because I don’t think the upcoming “normal” will be the same as the “normal” from a few months ago, but also on how we move forward.
I’m hoping we’ll be able to provide you with the answers to some important questions over the next two or so weeks. For now, here is a start.
Many students were in uproar about UP’s update about student social media posts. Read our article on page one for more information on what UP’s policy says and how you can ensure that you publish intelligently online.
If you aren’t aware of how the national budget speech and the outcomes of it affect you as a student, you can find out on page four.
The progress of the Varsity Cup is also being questioned and its postponement is dealt with on our back page.
If this is all too much for you and you need a break, make sure to page through the Entertainment pages – we have a book review for those who need to escape into fantasy, and an interview with a mixologist for those who choose to escape in other ways.
Have a productive week!
Michal
