Show LETTERS TO THE EDITOR n EV f In Support of Budd To the Editor I am astounded at the negative publicity given to President Frank W. W Budd and Academic Vice President Ann Erickson The timing could no nobe not nol be worse the beginning of the legislature legislature legislature legis legis- lature the life blood of our college However even more incomprehensible ble is the action of a few faculty mall malcontents malcontents mal mal- l contents who seem determined to tc undermine this institution through personal attacks against one of the best presidents a college could hope hope to have I can only judge on his efforts effort to live fully and completely up tc to Mission Statement hi his efforts to continually improve the col col- Student Gets Lost ID ill Card Runaround To the Editor I am writing concerning a very big bij issue the issue the loss of my photo ID JD I wain wain wa was in the library Friday Jan 19 checking out an audio cassette that I needed fo for French class Being in a hurry hung like lib most everyone I forgot my Student ID card By the time I realized realized realized real real- what I had done I was headed home By that time it was too late to g gc go goback back to the campus and pick up m my ID Because of the great hours the tb campus library has on Fridays I hay had missed the window of opportunity for retrieving my ID On Monday my schedule was ful and I didn't get to the library until lat lab afternoon At which time I found hound ou on that the hand mailed my ID to losand losand los and found The librarian claimed ti t have sent it the the security office los losand losand losand and found in AD Building room At I ran run to the Ad and found out that i it was not ther lege academic and vocational programs programs programs pro pro- grams facilities and environment his open-door open policy and his He is always present to support special programs He encourages all employees of the college faculty and staff to strive for excellence He is completely behind every effort to reward and recognize outstanding achievements by employees So often in our various meetings and educational events he has stopped to shake my hand and ask how things are going This man is genuinely committed to and all its students students students stu stu- stu- stu dents and personnel Do we realize how good we have it here at Granted there is always room for either They were kind enough to take my name and number Still needing my card I ran back to the library and asked again This time they told me that it was in the ID center So I ran over to the CC Building just to wait inline inline in inline line behind te ten other people After I reached the head of the line I found out that they did not have my ID card By this time I was more than upset I really hate being sent on wild goose chases Its It's not my style Knowing that I needed to return this French audio tape but recheck it out because I still needed it it I went back backover backover over to the library Needless to say the I story this time was that it had just been sent a few hours ago and of course they didn't know if it went by sn snail l mail or by messenger So I was told to wait a day or two I did as instruct instruct- t ed cd When I returned to school I was wast t sent on another wild goose chase My number one question is where t is my ID card Have they lost my I. I ID JD card If they have does that mean I have to pay 1000 for a new ID JD L card even though I did not lose it All improvement at every level but this college didn't become the outstanding institution it is today without stellar 7 leadership I have worked at several community colleges both in Utah and other states and I rate rale our President and Vice President as among the very best Lets Let's get together all of us who have legitimate concerns and dia dia- dia- dia logue Surely these problems can c be solved internally without jeopardizing vital legislative funding and smearing names in the media where nobody wins wms Irene Hastings Faculty Member I want is my ID card so that I can check out library books that I need formy for formy formy my classes Or if that is not possible then maybe they will open the library 24 hours so that I can do ALL my homework there Finally ponder this question If they have my social security number on my ID JD card and they can pull up my school file me for each quarter then why did I not receive a call me in the fist first place I know that when youre you're late with a book they call your house But a lost ID card is not that important important important tant What would have happened if I had used that ID lD as a debt card and put in my account and while it was was floating from office to office someone decided they needed the money more than I did Then I would have been out of luck because the school would have blamed me for the loss Who Vho keeps an eye on this type of stuff I dont don't like games but if I have to play I want to end up ahead of the game I won this match Chris Fergeson F ergeson General Studies Major 0 |
