Editor's Opinion! John Bruno


Calendar Agreement
Big; deal. So it's practically a reality that the
academic calendar is going to remain the same. What
else new can this place tell me?
The only nice comment I can make concerning the
whole underwhelming issue is that at least the powers
that be finally reached an agreement on something. It
didn't involve change - but living in a democracy
seldom does. And that's what makes this country
great. Unfortunately, lack of change is also what
keeps a lot of people complaining.
Consider then this overviews of the calendar
remaining the same: Close • administration and
division chairpersons - but no cigar.
Say the secret word and divide next year's low
enrollment between you.
Motivation ><
Hammering out this week's editorial as almost as
hard (and as much fun) as dodging the potholes in the
streets of Erie.
I can't seem to get motivated. Is it me or is it just
because it's winter. Probably both * but I'll blame it
on winter weather anyway.
I don't like winter. Never did - not even as a kid. The
main reason for that is because I can't hear snow ac-
cumulating overnight.
I But the worse thing about winter is it isolates a lot
of people. And, soon enough, motivation is at an all
time low.
Sometimes I feel guilty after somebody tries,
without much success, to get me motivated. Like
now . . . But I'll feel differently after I finish.this -
