Rhetorical fire and brimstone aside, Petersen’s message resonated with Faust’s own vision—a vision in which we, as students, must be involved. With a captive audience watching, Petersen rightly capitalized on a unique opportunity to express the concerns of the students he represents. The venue was wholly appropriate.

Failure to express milk every two to three hours can lead to medical complications, such as breast engorgement, fever, or infection. The Board of Medical Examiners had already agreed to grant Currier a second day of test time because she has dyslexia and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
