Alphons Rawson, Reporter
Alphons Rawson is a second-year theater arts major at Cuesta. They are on the The Cuestonian’s beat covering the Board of Trustees, and they inform the newsroom of the goings-on of each Board meeting. Alphons also keeps a pulse on the radar of campus opinions concerning national events or matters considering the world at large, and how the effects of those topics reach campus attendees. They are interested in journalism as it relates to journalistic writing and the media playing the role of the fourth pillar of democracy, to check and balance the U.S. Congress, courts and federal administration. If the newspaper is considered an art, Alphons considers the results of the constitutional debates authored by the press early on in the nation’s history to be an example of life imitating art. The lens that Alphons sees the reality of the world through is filtered through the potential of what could be possible, and is fueled by how art inspires society to ponder that. Philosophical concepts such as life imitating art and time repeating itself are ideas that inform their writings.
