I read the Technician daily, however, about once a week I walk by the box of papers and notice inserts strewn all over the ground. I don’t know why this persists. It should not be the responsibility of the grounds keepers to clean up advertising flyers that N.C. State students care nothing about. I don’t understand why this continues to be a problem. I am surprised the N.C. State grounds keepers have not complained to the advertising department of the Technician. I would like to see an end to this, and I’m curious if any other readers feel the same way I do.

First time in 20 years part-time students aren’t allowed to run for office. First time in 20 years our SBP has been astoundingly derelict of duty.

But 20 days before an election is “open and accommodating” (?!?) on the administrations part to reinterpret the Student [Body] Constitution — according to the Technician.

Student Government stands up for 28,000 students to impeach someone making $4,000 a year who doesn’t lead. They stand up for 7,182 students who lost the right to lead. I am not an advocate of Student Government. However if you read the Technician, it seems like Student Government is the only guilty party — and at that, that party is whiny. Look at the three facts above, LOOK!

I would rather Tom Stafford donate “dig deep” and donate $550 to local WCPE. I will not vote this election. His actions are criminal. LOOK!

I would like to thank Technician for running an article on the e-mail problem between students and professors. Each semester professors receive more and more e-mail from students about the class work, assignments, study hints and office hours. Unfortunately, as stated in the article, many of the questions in the e-mail are already covered in class. Frequently asking questions that are already covered are an abuse of theprofessor’s precious time and it hurts your reputation. E-mail should be reserved for more important questions that you are really not sure of, and you shouldn’t expect an immediate response (within only one hour). It is important to know that many professors receive more than 75 e-mails per day from students (and a few from former students). Responding to e-mail and balancing major professor responsibilities such as grading papers is a stressful full-time job. Plus the professors must have family to also take care of. So it invades privacy for them to have to frequently do e-mail at home. Let us respect our overworked professors and give them an e-mail break. They will have more time to successfully teach the course and help students when they don’t have to spend all their time on e-mails. Finall,y professors need to have a well defined e-mail policy in thesyllabus to make it clear to students.
