“Sure, now Mary Kate and Ashley are kind of like those friends that went off to New York and got way too cool to hang out anymore, but going to see one of their movies or picking up a magazine that featured them on the cover is like going to a reunion.” – Kayleigh Roberts

Q&A

NBN News: What one story would you most want to see on NBN during your presidency?

MS: Nobel Prize winner from the Northwestern faculty.

NBN Features: Sum up your life in six words.

MS: Four words, that’s not my whole life, but “He loves his students.”

NBN Life & Style: What’s the craziest thing you did as an undergrad at Hofstra?

MS: I don’t remember. [laughs] That’s pretty telling, isn’t it?

NBN Entertainment: Who would play you in your biopic?

MS: I don’t know, Richard Dreyfuss or something…He’s a great actor, much cooler and better looking than I am. It’s not going to be Richard Gere.

NBN Sports: What is the one thing you hope to change about NU athletics?

MS: I want men’s basketball to go to the NCAA tournament.

NBN Politics: What do you think about the Amethyst Initiative [a movement by colleges to lower the drinking age to 18]?

MS: We all know prohibition doesn’t work, but…if you look at the data and see how many more people would be predicted to die in alcohol-related vehicular accidents if they lowered the drinking age from 21 to 18, I don’t think it’s worth it. So I do not plan to support it, but I do think our campuses would be safer if we had an 18-year-old drinking age.
