CN Rantings

If you are considering Carson-Newman as your college choice, please do not read the following. I love Carson-Newman, but there are a few little things that I don't like about it (like any other college).

FALL SCHEDULES

Ever since I have been here, Carson-Newman has made booklets full of classes being offered in the following semester. It was mighty convenient. One didn't have to constantly refer to the school webpage to try and schedule classes. This semester, things were different. In an effort to save money, the school decided it was best that they not print out course offerings. Now we have to constantly check the internet every time we are considering our schedules. It was nice of having the ability to lay out on Henderson lawn while trying to figure out what classes I was able to take. I think the school is starting to forget who they serve. I think a booklet of classes was a minimum service that should be expected. We students are the customers of this business, and I think the least that we should expect is a catalog of what we can purchase.

CN ORANGE MAN

Students at Carson-Newman found a humorous surprise waiting for them in the cafeteria. Last Thursday, students were banned from using the soft-serve ice cream machine. Why you ask? Evidently some other students had take some oranges and some forks and made an orange man. It was nothing pleasant to look at, but it sure did tick off the cafeteria workers. I guess they are sensitive about their oranges. I don't really think they had a right to turn off the machine and restrict access to over 2000 students and faculty because of one person's mistake. We paid for that service, and we deserve to have it. Should Burger King turn off the Coke machine just because someone stole napkins and ketchup packets? Who made Rick Billingham Provost anyway?

Here is the sign that informed us of the infraction:



Here is the creation itself:
