12 SEPT. 13,2016 THEBLUEBANNER.NET Russia From page 2 but I think it was interesting to learn re ally what’s happened and the history be hind it,” said Casey Berardi, a political science student at Warren Wilson Col lege. “The things that they’ve done, like the apartment bombing, I had no idea about that.” Putin’s potential involvement in the 2016 election was another strong fo cus of Solnick’s lecture, particularly the parallels between him and an infamous front-runner. A few weeks ago, Donald Trump gave a nebulous answer to a reporter when asked about his response to helping out fellow NATO allies, alluding to the Bal tic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithua nia. Presidential candidates “We have many NATO members that aren’t paying their bills,” Trump said. “They have an obligation to make pay ments.” He then continued to be vague, im plying he may or may not allow Russia to attack the three countries, which are members of the organization, if they do not make their payments. Particularly noteworthy is the amount of financial investments that Trump has in Russia. He has been quoted as say ing the nation niakes up a dispropor tionate cross-section of the Republican front-runner’s assets. Solnick said both candidates are using each other to their own advantage, with one of the events they are both benefiting From page 5 The same was true of Clinton until Sept. 5, when her new campaign plane was unveiled and she began to travel with her press corps. This was the same day she took questions from those re porters while on the plane, effectively ending her streak of 275 days without a press conference. Trump appears to be easing his stance toward media access as well. His cam paign said on Sept. 7 that it will begin approving requests for press credentials from the news organizations he previ ously banned from covering his rallies. Wilson said the press ultimately works to inform the puj^lic. “I think the role of the media and the press is to give the general public infor mation that we otherwise wouldn’t have had,” Wilson said. Bolch said the media is skewed and it should be unbiased in its coverage. “I think and unfortunately, I think it’s been skewed in this country, that the press is supposed to bring information from government and politics to the people,” Bolch said. “Ideally, for me, it would be unbiased and forthcoming. Donald Trump is right about that, I don’t want to give him credence for any tiling, but he’s right that the media is skewed. Not what he’s saying it’s skewed for, but it’s a business more than anything.” Hollar said the press is responsible for holding people accountable. “The role of the press is to inform the public and to hold people account able for things they do,” Hollar said. “If we didn’t have the press, you could get away with anything because no one would know about it.”' SPORTS stats Section Editor: Charles Heard Volleyball Sept. 9 North Carolina Central @ UNC Asheville Sept. 10 Stetson University @ UNC Asheville Sept. 10 Alabama A&M University @ UNC Asheville Men's Soccer Sept. 9 Final UNC Asheville @ 0 Davidson College 2 Sept. 11 Final UNC Greensboro @ 1 UNC Asheville 2 Women's Soccer Sept. 8 Final UNC Asheville @ 2 use Upstate 0 Sept. 10 Final South Carolina State @ 1 UNC Asheville 4 from being the Brexit. “Putin is not a grand strategist. Putin is a counter-puncher. He sees opportu nities and he takes them,” Solnick said. “So we see this with Europe and I think that’s what we see right now with Donald Trump. The likelihood of Putin playing a tre mendously pivotal role in the 2016 elec tion, however, is debatable. But, it has never been as much a reality in any other election year as it is now. “I do not think that the Russians are likely to try to influence the actual out come of the American election,” Solnick said. “But Putin is an opportunist and this is a once-in-a-lifetime, once-in-a-genera- tion chance.” Theater From page 9 Freshman From page 3 i The weekly schedule usually in cludes a matinee show every day of the week at 4 p.m. in addition to 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. showings.

My main interest was the liberal arts aspect, but now I really enjoy how our campus respects the environment, espe cially with the compost options .” Patterson said she toured NC State after touring UNCA and felt shocked after see ing their campus. “I toured NC State after touring UNCA and the campus felt semi-depressing,” said Patterson. “UNCA emphasizes sustain ability concepts and shows this through the gardens, compost bins and abundance of trees.” smmirr iumr mmi i MustiroemPi/ia 828-238-9800 :
