Seungjae's point of view on the news

I went to University of Minnesota Police Department last Wednesday to get public records. I wanted to get the record about my story which is college student suicide but I couldnt't get any of them. A recipent said it was very sensitive issue. Instead of getting records I could get a police officer's contact number. So, I tried to contact him but I couldn't. So, I went to UMPD police office again. But I couldn't meet him. So, I decided to get an agenda packet. I found one online. It was from City of Virginia, Minnesota, March 27,2007.
I realized it was so hard but good experience for me. I wish I can get a police record about my story,tho.

It's time to finish their project and to take final exam. Failure on a test and too much presseure on exam can create frustration, depression or similar signs of stress. I want to interview the professionals about this issue and to know how people can get over stress.

There was an anti-iraq war proteste last Monday at the Coffman Union. More than 100 protesters spoke out "anti-war" and "money for the education." I want to know pros and cons about Iraq war from various perspectives. I will interview Muslim people which represents Iraq people and USA citizen(liberal and conservative) and Asian or other people. I want to ask what they think about Iraq war and what US lost and gain from wat.

The Minnesota State has the largest Korean adapted children community.They're adopted from South Korea when Korean war has broken out in 1950. I want to investigate what efforts the Minnesota state have made for them so far, such as financial support, higher education support and healthcare, and how we can support them.
