54.04%
I think there need to be much more stringent controls on the sale and ownership of firearms. All buyers of guns should have to undergo background 147
checks to make it harder for weapons to end up in the hands of criminals and those with a history of mental illness. Also certain types of weapons and
accessories (such as assault rifles and large-magazine clips) should be outlawed.
26.47%
I think universal background checks would be a good idea, but I am not sure there is any need to outlaw specific kinds of guns or rifles. The right to 72
own these weapons is protected by our constitution.
I dont think there is a need to pass any additional restrictions on the sale or use of firearms. Indeed, we should make it easier for law-abiding citizens 9.93% 27
to carry firearms. If more such citizens were armed on a regular basis the country would be safer because we would be surrounded by people better
able to react to and neutralize those intent on doing us harm.

13.97%
Marijuana is a gateway drug that is dangerous to ones health and highly addictive. In the interests of public health, it should be illegal everywhere 38
throughout the United States.
32.72%
It is a potentially dangerous substance, but it has been shown to carry benefits for some people with certain medical conditions (e.g. those 89
undergoing chemo therapy, people with glaucoma, etc.) and so should be available for legal purchase as a prescribed drug.
47.79%
Marijuana use certainly carries risks, but so too does the use of cigarettes and alcoholwhich are both legal for adults. History shows that prohibition 130
is generally ineffective. Therefore, marijuana should be legalized, and its growers and sellers regulated and taxed. Money currently being spent on
anti-drug enforcement could then be shifted into drug education and treatment.

I think Minimum Wage should be increased, but $10.10 is too high of an amount. 36

I don't think Minimum Wage should be increased, but I do think that state governments should readjust their Minimum Wage based off of the cost of 70

I think the U.S. should play a major role in promoting democracy and human rights--and reducing human suffering and misery--and should be 46
prepared to deploy resources and foreign aid in times of crisis and employ diplomatic pressure, economic sanctions, and even military force, if
necessary, to counteract the forces of oppression, terror, or disorder.
47.43%
I think the U.S. should play a major role in promoting democracy and human rights--and reducing human suffering and misery--but we should stop 129
short of employing military forces except in the rarest of circumstances and only if joined in such efforts by other partner nations.
18.38%
I think the U.S. has enough issues/problems to deal with right at home and should not incur the expense of acting as the world's policeman or 50
protector.
It reveals an extreme arrogance for the United States to act as if knows what is best for the rest of the world. It should only become involved in the 7.72% 21

I think the school does a very nice job with weekend activities. The are usually plenty of options available which represent a good mix of both major 36
events and more minor distractions both on and off campus.
60.29%
Weekend activities are a bit hit and miss, with some weekends being much better than others. I think the school could stand to offer at least a few 126
more major events with greater frequency.
17.70%
I am, more often than not, disappointed. There is too much a reliance on movie and mall runs. It would be nice to see more of an effort made at 37
creating better on-campus options and finding better attractions within the region
I usually dont take advantage of such opportunities anyway, so I am not in a position to render an informed opinion one way or the other. 4.78% 10

I believe these technological innovations are proving a healthy, effective, and efficient way to communicate with one another. I dont believe they 47
significantly hinder our ability to interact with one another in person.
55.15%
These technologies are certainly convenient, and I employ them, but I do worry as to whether or not they are making it harder for us to know how to 150
interact with one another face to face.
23.16%
I believe that these additions to technology are actually hindering our ability to communicate with one another in person. People are losing the skills 63
necessary to speak with one another either on the phone or in person. We are slowly going to become more socially awkward a society.
