Volume I, Number 2 “Esse Quani Videri ” February 46, 199Sks * '4-' A Window on McGregor by Amy Buckner The new windows in McGregor have raised differing opinions about the beauty and effieieney of the only eo-ed dorm on campus McGregor Hall was erected in 1942 and had not Lindcrgone renova tions prior to the instal lation of the new windows in January. Junior McGregor resident Andy Merl re vealed, “Because screens were installed with the windows, I miss being able to slick my head out the window and yell at people.” Several students are concerned about the windows being too modem for the architecture of the building. SGA president Mark Wright expressed, “I like the fact that the windows make the building warmer but I think they are loo modem and don't fit." The primary reason for the installation of the windows was to make the dorm more energy efficient. Some students have said the drafts from the new windows are almost as bad as the drafts from the old windows. Merl added, “Our windows don’t seem to be sealed very well and the drafts are pretty bad.” However, some McGregor residents are pleased with the new windows. Inhabitant Chris Hilgers remarked, “1 like the windows a lot and they have definitely cut down on the drafts ui our room.” The new windows in McGregor arc dif ferent and more contemporary. Hilgers con cluded, “1 think they will take some getting used to.” Pubs Board Chooses SmithAfe^AmEditor by M. Janie King Last Thursday the Publications Board chose Senior Chad Smith to be the editorof the Alelheia. Smith was editor of the Aletheia last semester and then verbally resigned.

But I have to make sure there arc people to write or there will be no Aletheia."

King went on to state that, “nonetheless, 1 wish Smith and the Aletheia success,” Smith predicts that the Aletheia this semester will take on a new tone. He explains: “This will be a fun paper. It will feature the students more, along with their interests and what they are worried about. 1 want this paper to be totally for the student and to have articles they want to read about.” Det.

Woods Strikes Out in the Snow by Melissa Brown People got hurt. They fell down. They were knocked dowp. After a sudden snowfall last Tuesday, studentsgrabbedlaundry baskets,cafeteria trays, skateboards, and even a few sleds, to race down icy Appalachian Way. At least thirty "Eskimos” co!igregated in frontof McGregordorm to watch and have fun. Sophomore Pennsylvania native Nathan Gardner didn’t see what all the fuss was about and said, “I moved down South to get out of the snow; it amazes me how cxcitedpcople getabout even a little snow.” Freshman Jake Rightmeyer’s home is in Mississippi. He rhapsodized, “I haven’t seen snow since I was five, it was pretty exciting.” Sun Belt natives revelled in Ihechance to play in the white stuff. Forsome, however, winter fun wasmarred by sporadic injuries. Baseball player Chris Woods’s fifty gallon trash can slid into a no parking sign. He was knocked momentarily unconscious. His nose and lip were also pain fully bloodied. Bystanders intended to take Woods to the hospital, but couldn’t because of the icy roads. “ I was having a fun night unti 11 got hurt,” he said. Queen Musengwa and Heath Peek were crossing the road when sledder David Vickery scattered them like bowling pins, injuring both. Injuries were apparently not enough to dampen the spirits of others, who remained on the street and McGregor’s front steps until after 2:00 Wednesday morning.
