Once in a Lifetime

Friday, February 15, 2013, a meteor streaked across the sky above a the remote Ural mountains in Russia. It appeared at about 9:15am and exploded with a flash and loud boom, leaving a trail of smoke in  the sky. Approximately 3,000 buildings were damaged (mainly shattered windows) from the massive shock wave. Over 1,000 people were injured (mainly from flying glass) including over 200 children. The meteor is small and therefore 
hard to track like large asteroids. 


This is incredibly exciting to me. This kind of thing is truly a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
What's remarkable about this event is that it occurred on the same day as the asteroid 2012 DA14 made a very close flyby, within the orbit of many satellites. 


The Last Straw

You've GOT to be kidding me. 
Not ONLY are we adding football against our founder's wishes, 
but along with it comes several unwanted and disgusting changes.

1. Disrupting Berry's campus to build a stadium.
2. Remodeling Richard's gym to be locker rooms.
3. Renaming Valhalla in Krannert.
4. Ruining the reputation of Berry as a respectable liberal arts college.
5. Changing the attitudes, atmosphere, and community of campus.
6. Bringing in more boys who, without the promise of football, didn't want to be here.
7. Creating a conflict between the dry campus rule and football weekends.
8. Increasing the number of incoming freshmen without enough housing and parking.

And worst of all.. making Morton-Lemley CO-ED.
That is just too much. The last straw. The straw that broke the camel's back.
Berry College is C-R-A-Z-Y if they think they will get ANY donations from me after graduation.
