"Dude, Where's my DP?"

Our comic strip which is still on progress is the most interesting thing that has happened in the journalism department. We have the opportunity to create and voice our opinions in a comic strip. Well the NewStreet team is creating the best comic strip ever. It is called “Dude where’s my DP”. It follows the life of Mathew, a first year who enjoys pre drinks and partying. However Mat doesn’t know that he has fallen prey to Prof. Booze’s plan of making every student lose their DPs so that he can take over as Vice Chancellor. Mat now has to try getting his DP back so that his life is not doomed forever. This is the greatest t story ever and we are challenging our readers, yes you, to think whether Mat deserves his DP since he was a victim of Prof. Booze’s plan, or whether Mat should be punished for his negligence and responsibilities. I think this topic is relevant for first years because we fall in the trap of have a good time and when work has to be done we have endless excuses. It is stories like Mat’s that are embedded in every university in South Africa and we as the youth should reflect on this issues and know where we stand.
