Due to technology problems, we were unable access the Stampede e-mail account until recently. Below is a Letter to the Editor by Steven Clem responding to Adam Meyers’ letter printed in the Nov. 7, 2002 edition of The Stampede.
It continues to amaze me that so many students speak as if the Milligan administration is out to get them.
In response to Mr. Meyers, you automatically assume as if President Jeans planned on the economic downturn that brought much of the giving to this college to a halt.
Then you go on to wonder why Derthick was renovated before a new student commons area was built. Unfortunately you never went to class in the old Derthick where the carpets had every imaginable stain, the floor sounded as if it was about to collapse, the temperature was either 40 or 90 degrees, and the stage area was not much different than what SUB 7’s stage looks like now.
If anything, this administration wanted to build the best for those in the theater department and the students commons area, but just as anything else the best takes time.
I do continue to commend those in the theater department who have managed to put on some amazing performances within the confines of SUB 7.
However, I find it almost humorous that some people believe that the Milligan administration doesn’t work hard enough for them.
