A Letter to the Editor I am writing out of concern for some of our students. It is obvious that most of the "you ng adults" on our campus have exemplified above average scholarship or they would not have been r 'ceptedto this fine institution. However, my concern is that students who have this much knowledge do not know how to flush a toilet or pick up a piece of trash. I am amazed that young men haven't been taught by their mamas how to fiush the commode. It doesn't take any extra time or energy to pull that little handle at the top of a toilet. Also, there is an abundance of trash lying around campus. The University has gone to the trouble to purchase trash cans and place them around campus for the purpose of collecfing trash. It is not difficult to place a piece of paper in one of these. Gardner-Webb, it is time to stop acting like you were raised in a barn. Take some responsibility and grow up. Your mama is not here to pick up after you. So act like young adults and pracUce coordinating movements; flush and throw. Thank you, Shane A. Kirby GWU Junior participation in the sel f-study. Junior Joy Me Kibben, who also served on a self-study committee, worked for Camp and Gregg, assisting in compiling and proofing the report. McKibben felt that working on this project has helped her develop “good relafion- ships with the faculty and administration.” Working with her was junior Heather Lookadoo, who felt that the interacfion between students, teachers, and staff has been beneficial. The process has “allowed me to see them in a different light and establish friendships with them,” said Lookadoo. On November 13 -16, a committee from the Southern Association will be at GWU to review the self-study and see the insfitution “first hand.” This committee is comprised of faculty and staff members from various insfitutions within the Southern Asso ciation. They will represent a variety of schools and states, except North Carolina. Bonner feels that because this is a process conducted by peers that it is more beneficial than one conducted by the federal government. Prior to their coming, the visiting committee members will have read the nearly 300 page self- study. While here, they will meet and discuss the self-study with selected students, faculty, and staff. The committee may also stop students in passing to get their impressions of the institution. Bonner suggests then that smdents should be aware of the committee’s presence during that week and should not be surprised to be approached by a person wear ing a nametag identifying him or her with the South ern Associafion. Before tlie conimittee leaves on the 16th, it will conduct an out-briefing. During this time, it will provide its preliminary impressions of GWU’s self- study. Once completed, the committee will .send a preliminary report to the institution, to be reviewed for factual errors. Upon finalization, thereportis sent to the Southern Associafion as well as to GWU. Once GWU’s response is complete, it will be sent, along with the committee report to the Criteria and Reports Committee of the Southern Association. It make a recommendafion to an executive committee, which finally makes the reaffirmation decision. This pro cess should be complete in June of 1996.
