Vol. 124 | No. 5 | October 4, 2019 The Scout @bradley_scout BUPD releases A jam-packed week security and fire safety of homecoming report for 2018 BY COLE BREDAHL Editor-at-Large

The Police Department published its Annual Security and Fire Safety Report, also known as the Clery Report, for 2018 on Monday. The report showed statistics consistent with last year, but saw slight increases in motor vehicle theft and drug arrests. There were also slight decreases in the number of rapes and burglaries reported. The report is required by federal law according to the Clery Act, which requires all colleges and universities to keep and disclose information about crimes on and near the campus area, categorized by type of crime and location in the past three years. In the report, all crimes are categorized into five sections: criminal offenses, hate crimes, Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) offenses, arrest and referrals. Each has detailed subcategories. All crime statistics are classified into on-campus (including residence halls), on public property within or immediately adjacent to the campus and in or on non- campus buildings or property that the Finalists for homecoming king and queen were announced at yesterday’s homecoming pageant. photo by Haley Johnson institution owns or controls.

This show built up much anticipation before its premiere due to its acclaimed director, , from “Glee” and “American Horror Story,” as well as its star-studded cast, which includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Jessica Lange and . The show greatly benefits from the versatility of Platt as its lead actor. The Tony-Award-winning star of “” plays Payton Hobart, a highly ambitious high school senior who dreams of becoming the President of the United States. Platt’s previous characters in theatre and in the “Pitch Perfect” franchise have all been shy, anxious teenagers, so the intensity of this character was a wonderful change of pace. Zoey Deutch also stars in the series as Infinity Jackson, Payton’s on-again-off-again running mate. Infinity lives with her manipulative grandmother Dusty, portrayed by Lange. Paltrow plays Payton’s mother, Georgina Hobart, and is seen as naive. Laura Dreyfuss, one of Platt’s co-stars in “Dear Evan Hansen,” also appears in “The Politician” as McAfee Westbook, a member of Payton’s social circle. A political race would not be complete without a nemesis and Lucy Boynton plays Astrid Sloan, Payton’s reluctant opponent. The first episode of the series sets up the premise of the show: There is an election for senior class president, which Payton is determined to win at any cost. This show delves into complicated topics like cancer, poisoning, homosexuality, gender fluidity, political correctness and murder, to name a few. Each of the three performers I previously mentioned portrayed characters that could effortlessly slip from comedic to dramatic in a moment’s notice. Because of this, “The Politician is considered both a comedy and a drama, according to IMDB. The satire in the series demonstrates what it is like to be in the mind of a politician in the setting of a high school. If you enjoy satirical shows like “Parks and Recreation,” then I highly implore you to check out Netflix’s “The Politician.” B3 THE SCOUT October 4, 2019 DISTRACTIONS
