FROM THE EDITORS 2 It’s kind of hard to shutup Editor Shantil Siaperas This issue of The Prospector has a main focus that is unlike any other issue published this year. Spotlighting on the “voice” of the students, this issue—in my opin ion—is long over due. It contains a variety of columns written by many different Carroll College attendees. These clever undergraduates are expressing their opinions about issues on campus that they feel need to be addressed. This is understandable for three reasons. The most obvious is because they, their parents, grand parents, or whoever, is dishing out a hefty chunk of change in return for their attendance and/or living situation here on campus. If they feel a problem exists, this problem should be brought to light—not tossed in a shoebox and shoved under the bed. The second reason is thanks to the college itself. Carroll very successfully educates its students in a “liberal arts” manner. Therefore, it creates intelligent, broadminded individuals who have something to say. It’s only right that their voices be heard. Lastly, a school paper exists to articulate in print what is currently affecting the campus. The majority of a campus, other than grass, is its students. As a result, we get many diverse, interesting, well written, thought provoking columns for everyone’s entertain ment. Be proud Carroll College. You’ve played a large role in pro viding the student-body with the ability and skills to stand up and use its voice. I encourage not only enrolled students to write to The Prospector, but all articles are wel come from faculty, staff, parents, community members, etc. Help us bring any problems or solutions to the surface and at the same time give everyone some thing to read about. Everyone have a fantastic, exciting spring break. I’ll be in Dillon, so I know I will. Book it to the Saint’s Shoppe! Editor Stephanie Twining We’re not there yet, but the end of another semester is looming before us. As with the end of every semester, students of Carroll will have to deal with the frustra tions of selling back their books. The main culprit for causing our frustrations? New editions. Once a book is deemed out-of- date by its publishers, a new edi tion is made. These new editions can be as unchanged as a few measly sentences or paragraphs. So why do we need them? The Saint’s Shoppe on campus has made a routine of buying every new edition and requiring them to be used in our class rooms. Because of these new edi tions, we are sometimes unable to sell back our old books. Similarly, we cannot buy used versions of a new edition, result ing in students feeling ripped off by the bookstore. But who is real ly to blame? The Saint’s Shoppe is a busi ness and must act as such. It must acquire sufficient finances to sup port itself and it depends on Carroll students for its very exis tence. However, many students would rather rush off to the comparably inexpensive Wal-Mart to buy any thing other than their mandatory textbooks and Carroll apparel. While this seems like a short term solution to our ever present financial difficulties, we may actu ally be damaging an important facet of the school Maybe, just maybe, if we made a habit of supporting our book store instead of running from it, the Saint’s Shoppe could thrive, expand, and perhaps even cut our costs by not stocking its shelves with every new edition that goes to print. So, rather than sitting around whining about not being able to sell back your old edition books this semester, do something about it! Be good to your school and your school will be good to you. Hope you all have a great break! T h e P r o s p e c t o r A student publication of Carroll College Better Ingredients.
