Staff Editorial: Making the grade
Issue date: 5/6/09 Section: Campus Talk
Students have been counting down the days till the end of classes, both in Facebook statuses and away messages.However, no matter how desperate we are to get out of here, this should be a time of reflection, a time to look back on the year as a whole.
Students will begin to sigh in relief or cry in despair over course grades. So, we decided to dish out our own grades for Brockport's various departments and organizations. Hey, they earned them, just like we did.
University Police: C+
Although we feel safe on the Brockport campus, whatever happened to finding the culprit to the Union break-ins, or other petty thefts? It seems the only excuse for UP is the same as what students use for missed classes - pure laziness. Yeah we're safe, but we're definitely not secure.
BASC: B+
The food is great, but everyone agrees that when they come back to Brockport's dining halls, weight gain is inevitable. There also needs to be better food on weekends. Just because there are fewer students around doesn't mean you can serve lower-quality food.
However, BASC's themed dinners were a hit toward the end of the year. Also, recent efforts for the Jill Wielinski fund and other fundraisers were amazing for the way they brought together Brockport students for a common goal.
Hazen: _
Since they obviously can't diagnose us, we won't diagnose them. All we ask for is treatment of our sicknesses/injuries without the spiel about becoming pregnant or an alcoholic. We've heard it all before. If we were alcoholics, we probably wouldn't be in Hazen complaining about our hangovers in the first place.
BSG: B
Despite controversial concert choices, that may not have been at the top of our list, many BSG events were sold-out. Solid, low-key bands may have been the secret to getting Brockport students out in huge numbers.
Residential Life: C+
We understand there's this whole grand scheme to which building can be fixed next. But can't our overactive showers and decrepit light fixtures be fixed too? It's the little things that count. You try hearing the wind scream at all hours of the night. It's part of the reason why students look so pissed at morning classes.
