A semester has passed since then with Edelman at the head of the Student Union, and looking back on his first term, he reflected on where he may have achieved his campaign’s promises and where he may have failed.

One of the more interesting stories to come out of the sports world this past year was the story of the Ball family. The family first gained notoriety when its oldest son, Lonzo, started gaining national attention as a high school prospect at Chino Hills High School, in California. He committed to the University of California, Los Angeles, and it was soon clear that he would be one of the top talents in his draft class. During Lonzo’s freshman year, his younger brothers LiAngelo and LaMelo made headlines of their own as they dominated opponents as a senior and sophomore at Chino Hills. As the word of the family’s talent spread, and Lonzo’s future in the National Basketball Association became more cemented, the patriarch of the family began to make his presence known.

It’s been nearly 80 days since the Trump administration created chaos for over 800,000 lives by revoking the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program. The Trump administration put at risk the imminent future of thousands of young and hard-working students, nurses, business owners, scientists, soldiers and fellow neighbors that benefit from this program. In revoking the program by creating an artificial deadline of Sept. 5, the Trump administration created this chaos and looming deadline that is threatening to shut down the government. The administration should have waited until a legislative solution was passed in Congress before recklessly ending one of the nation’s most successful immigration programs that presented crucial moral and fiscal benefits.

Instead of returning to his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers, James famously declared he would be taking his talents to South Beach, joining forces with guard Dwyane Wade and forward Chris Bosh in the hopes of bringing a title to the Miami Heat. James and Bosh each could have been paid more to play elsewhere, but they sacrificed some money in order to win a ring. This was the creation of the first modern superteam and it took the National Basketball Association by storm. Many argue that this new fad of creating superteams in order to win championships has “ruined” basketball. But how new is this phenomenon in reality?
