h~d their say Ion the issucl-it's
quieung clown."' he said.
Wixson blame.s the open lan­
guage of Mooney's September
memo for the lack of response.
•1n his memo he's really 1101 spe­
cific about who you should
email or when you should email.
There were no specified email
addresses," he said
As a rcsu\t, much ol 1he slu•
dcnt-gcncr.ned response found
no purchase during the heat of
the debate." I wonder how mu!,)1_
1 hose public opinions were
brough1 tnto 1he process."
Wixson satd. "There was a lot of
posting on notices, a lot of in­
ter-posting, posts off of posts,
but I don't know how much of
that was directed toward Presi­
dent Mooney."
Mooney acknowledged that
his previous memo lacked clar•
ity on a period of response.
At the law school, Associate
Dean Lee Ga<linas created a
more clearly-defined forum. sc1-

e-mail account Sep1. 23. During
the response period that ended
Oct. 1, thcaccounl recelved over
200 messages, according 10 law
student Nathan Baker.
Baker, secretary of the SBA,
noted that asof Oct 12, Gadinas
hnd read all of the messages, but
D·can James Huffman hadn't.
"Dean liurrman is the law
schools onlr representative on
the Exccuttvc Council, and, as
such, should definitely have read
the emails rather than been
'briefed' on them." Baker said in
an Oc1. 20 e-mail message.
Despite the apparcni lack of
immediate attention it received
from high level administration.
the lawpark accoun1 s1ood out
as a notable method of gather­
ing feedback; the adminisiration
on upper campus did not follow
Gadinas' lead.
The revised pion also shrugs
off some of 1he rccommenda-
11ons that the law school facuhy
made in an Oct. 20 meeting. The
facult)• suggested ·a shuulc 10 service neighborhoods where
law students actually live" and
•an exemption from parking fees
for student, faculty, and s1aff
carpool drivers," according 10
Bren Brownscombc, SBA faculty
representative.
While Wixson believes thai
the situatJon demanded a real
smdent forutn, he recognized
t.hc improvements in the Exccu ..
1lve Co11ncil's plan. "In general.
I 1hink they did a good job lis-
1cmng," he said. Both Mooney
and Wixson noted that the Ex­
ecu1ive Councils promise 10 re­

While some students go to

for a c:.1rce_r picked out since we
were nvc, m;my or us come in
hop<: or narrowing our focuses.
We hope thnt higher cducallon
w11Lshow us wha1 to do wnh our

crro.r this can occur. what often
happens is exactly Lhe opposite.

areas of study that our out there.
It can often leave one depressed.
realizing thaL we don'L have the
time to explore everything that
we wanl to.
Others come to college 10 get
u job that pays good money. Hey
there's nmhing wrong with ad-
111it11ng that. h's the truth for
most or us, I bcL. The only prob­
lem with this ont·., is th:ll once
we arrive her<:. we get a scarier
picture or life ar1cr a BA or BS.
For some. a degree means the op­
portunity 10 start a career, or1en

on the wall, a ccr1iflca1e 1ha1 one
stares at while drinking a beer
ar1cr n long day at Hollywood or
Blockbuster Video. There ts
nothing wtoug with doing mc­
ni:ll work, blll I am sure lhis ,sn't
what most of us expected, when
we signed up to get a college
degree (or signed our name on
tl,osc loans.) Can it get worse?
Sure can! There are many, who
get wrned down for such jobs,
because they arc overqualified.
To avoid these problems, many
continue on their quest for a
good job by heading off to
graduate school.
Why arc we here? Some
might judge these or other rea­
sons as right or wrong. Who
deems which reasons are righ1
or wrong? Does it even matter?
We arc all here and we continue
to go here! Besides simply blam­
ing others, we should sit and ask
ourselves, why arc we really
here. At pointS in our college careers we all pass through many
or these as well as other stages.
Our reasoning for attending
college cannot be answered by
any one or the reasons. As f<1r
mysdr, I have gone to college,
for many or, he above reasons as
well as others. I nlso find th:i, my
reasons for continuing college
are: not always the same ones
that brought me here.
If we all practice sQme true
personal inlrospcction and set
our own priorities, we can use it
our advantage. When we per­
sonally know or look at why we
are here, we get an idea abOut
what we wanL out or college, 1r

munity, can get iL We can work
together to build what we wam.
ll all starts with personal intro~
spcction and scH-awarcness.

we will find many different mo­

tantly, we will also find much

Peter Hoeg broke onto the 111-
crary scene in 1992, when his
book,SmillasSenseofSnow, was
firs1 published. A iilerary mas­
terpiece, this book alone, might
warrant liocg's induction into n
hall of fame of 20th Cen1ury

that this former Danish ballet
dancer, fencer, moumaineer, and
sailor has produced a variety of
works, equaling the level of his
famous bcs1seller. Hoeg 1s 1101
