FRIDAY!!! Free at last! Missions emphasis week has been an interesting experience at least. If nothing else, they bring in some real kick-ass speakers and some people who know more about going out and doing something for God than the typical speaker that is brought in.
It's been brought to my attention that Dr. Carl deigned to respond to a thread on the forums about chapel (note: getting on requires a valid LU email and also requires a valid LUsername and password if you're outside the great firewall). His response (paraphrased because I'm too lazy to go look it up) went something like, 'If you don't like what's going on, come talk to me about it. I can't do anything about what I don't hear about. I'm doing the best that I can with the money I'm given and am open to suggestions and input.'
Dr. Carl also alluded to chapels that he can't do anything about by saying that there are some chapels (cough, Bud) that are expected and he can't change. All in all though, I'm thinking about going and talking to him to give him a word of encouragement and let him know what I'm thinking and I suggest that you all do the same. After all, he may not be a campus personality like Del was, but as he showed by the Survey Chapel earlier this year, at least he's not going to bend over and take whatever admin wants to do to us. Even so, bear in mind the man doesn't have a whole lot of power and is doing the best he can being wedged between the administration and a budget.
