Today’s College Tour – What issues presented in the performance are most applicable to you and to students at Lees-McRae College? Why?
The issues presented in the performace that are most applicable to me and other students here at Lees-McRae were probably the short skits about relationship problems and parents with divorce and students dealing with abuse or neglect. Although I believe that students here deal with these similar problems frequently I think that the skits were a little over-dramatic and the acting was a little poor. Some actors and actresses were reading straight off of papers and there feelings ddi not seem to match with the problems that they were talking about. I also did not like how the doctor was almost silent the whole time, but I did enjoy thefunny comments from the secretary.

Transcript.
After looking at my grades, I have realized that I really need to buckle down and get my work done. Last semester I really struggled when it came to getting up and going to class, I guess I just lacked the motivation to go to class. When it came to studying I was rarely doing that either. This semester I am really going to work hard to get really good grades so that I can be satisfied with my grades. I plan on going to all my classes and only missing them if really necessary, i also plan on taking better notes, trying harder to pay attention in class and taking more time out of the day to work on my homework and study.

Dead Man Walking
Reflect on the theatre production of Dead Man Walking. In what ways has this opened your mind to the various veiwpoints surrounding the death penalty? why is it important activities and assignments in your college courses challenge your previous opinions?
I think Dead Man Walking was an amazing play that really opened my eyes to the death penalty and how wrong it truely is. I think that more people should be aware of how unfair the death penalty is, it is important for the younger generations should be learning about the death penalty because we will be the ones trying to make a change soon and we should be fully educated in what we are talking about.

Tierney Cahill
How does Tierney Cahill’s message of “Living without Fear” inspire you? How can you be an inspiration to others? What are afraid to do that you might now have the courage to attempt?
Tierney Cahill's message of "Living without Fear" has inspired me to do things that I normally would not do. Since I plan on becoming a teacher I hope and plan to inspired alot of young children throughout my lifetime. After listening to Mrs. Cahills speech I feel that I have the courage to speak to anyone about how I really feel and say many things that I would normally not say at all.

Economy
Do you think the down turn in the economic situation is or will affect you? What aspects of the economy apply most to you? Have you changed any part of your financial behavior since the realization of the seriousness of the economic situation or do you plan to make changes?
the down trun of the economy is effecting everyone. with gas prices going up people are spending more money on gas and less money on other necessities, and with gas prices gong up some truck drivers are refusing to drive long distances. the rising gas prices have effected me most. i have started to save money more then spending it now.

Drinking?
I feel that to some students drinking is a way to loosen up but on the other hand I believe that there are many students on campus who drink just to get drunk.
the statement "im going to get so trashed this weekend" or "i was so wasted last weekend" can usually be heard around campus pretty often.
I think that if the drinking age was lowered to 18, at first there would be some problems with people being drunk in public and things like that but i think that after a while it wouldnt be as fun for people who are considered underage. I feel that if you can vote for our president or go off to the army, navy, marines, ect. then you should also be able to drink. if the drinking age as lowered to 18 then teens who are 18-20 would find it less entertaining to drink or get drunk.
i think that the only problem with the safe-ride program is that the people driving the car would either a) not be compassionate to those who are intoxicated by being mean or rude to them. b) after a night of being a safe-driver the students would start telling peers of the drunken night that someone had.
