FROM THE EDITOR
Hey, guys, Thanksgiving break is here!
I knoAv I'm ready for it. After all of
those pre-Thanksgiving big assignments,
my cranium is sufficiently crammed. I
intend to fully enjoy Thanksgiving break
visiting my boyfriend, watching movies,
maybe getting some Christmas shopping
in... basically being as un-scholarly as
possible for a week.
Two little things: first, a note from SGA
Secretary Mk Bellamy regarding last is
sue's article on voting to move convoca
tion and chapel times:
"We did our first survey on a Tuesday
night in the cafeteria and roughly 70%
of students (50 out of 70) said 'yes' to
the change. We wanted to get a larger
sample so we had a vote after chapel
but we rejected the results (roughly
35-40% said yes) because many of the
people who said 'no' had fears about
their classes conflicting with an immedi
ate change. We realized we didn't give
students enough info. In our student-to-
student survey we asked students one
more time and 65% of students said yes
to the change."
Secondly, Michelle Weeks sent me a
note about Operation Christmas Child,
a drive to collect toys and other small
items to fill shoeboxes to distribute to
needy children worldwide. "McGregor
Hall hosted an Operation Christmas
Child Shoebox Drive this year to sup
port this ministry of Samaritan's Purse,"
Michelle wrote. "We promoted the event
through fliers and information. Even a
group of 6 students went shopping to
gether for their shoe boxes. We collected
11 shoeboxes! Montreat Presbyterian
Church is also hosting a shoebox drive
with a goal of 200 boxes. We gave our
boxes to support their drive. Thanks for
everyone who participated!"
As always, if you have stories or photos
from Thanksgiving break that you'd like
to share, feel free to send them in for
publication in the Whetstone and/or on
our website.
