The Chronicle Student News Magazine THE CHRONICLE STUDENT NEWS MAGAZINE FALL 2017 | VOLUME 141 | ISSUE 1 | NORTH CENTRAL COLLEGE | NAPERVILLE, ILL. the Chronicle LETTER FROM THE EDITOR ne of my editors asked me at the begin- ning of the year if I was worried that I had killed The Chronicle. I answered yes. Af- ter several discussions, we decided to make some major changes to our print issue — we’ve gone from printing three times a term to one single issue. OThe focus of this term’s issue is division, something that’s on everyone’s minds these days. With our political sphere resembling a circus and family and friends being split by their views, it’s hard to see the silver lining. Here you’ll find interpretations of division from all political sides, what it means to be in the middle and how, despite all this EDITORIAL BOARD political dissent, we’re still able to come together through everyday things like Netflix.

Germany, and Sweden. Today, there are three primary sources of TV entertainment available to consumers: free-to-air (FTA), pay TV, and online TV. Free-to-air TV channels are typically received via an antenna but can also arrive over satellite and cable. Examples include BBC1, SVT1, and Das Erste. Pay TV services distribute linear TV over cable, satellite, and telco TV systems. Examples include Virgin Media, Sky Deutschland, and Com Hem.

  • Nightmare on Columbus Street
    Nightmare on Columbus Street On November 7, 2016, The New York Times stated that Hillary Clinton had a 85% chance of winning the Presidential election. Fivethirtyeight stated 71%, Huffington Poststated 98%, Predict Wise stated 89%, Daily Kos stated 92%, and Princeton Election Consortium stated a >99% chance. Everyone in America was bracing for another Clinton presidency. By midnight on November 8, Fivethirtyeight stated that Donald Trump had an 84% chance of winning. On the 9th, Hate Crimes and protests started across America. In a Minnesota High School, racial slurs like, “go back to Africa” and “whites only” were written in the bathroom. In NYC, a Muslim woman wearing a scarf (not even a hijab) was passed on a subway platform and told, “Your times up, girlie.” A “Make American White Again” sign with a swastika was graffitied in Wellsville, New York. The name “Trump” was written in a Muslim prayer room at New York University. “Fuck your safe space” and “Build the wall” was written on the sidewalk at the University of Louisiana. “Black lives don’t matter and neither do your votes” was painted on a wall in Durham, North Carolina. In Cambridge, a postal worker yelled at a hispanic resident, “Go back to your country, this is Trump land now.” At the University of Pennsylvania, all African-American freshman were added to a GroupMe labeled “Ni**er Lynching”. All of these atrocities have been contrasted with promises to stay optimistic and hopeful. There have been Anti-Trump rallies in Chicago, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Dayton, Cincinnati, Oklahoma City, Salt Lake City, Providence, Albany, Portland, Las Vegas, New Haven, Burlington, and many college campuses.
