“The Kennedy Assassination. It’s been done so many ways, and there are so many conspiracies behind it – I think it needs to be more expanded.”

Junior neurobiology, physiology and behavior major
“The Great Depression; I think it would make a great drama series.”
Richard Hou

“Tiananmen Square massacre. It’s [of] cultural significance in China and no one really knows the whole story. It’s very hush-hush there.”
Jheel Kamdar
Sephomore communication major
“9/11. It was a tragic event in the lives of the American people.”
