If you are helping a friend you are not supposed to get in trouble. Helping a friend sadly involves carrying them back and putting them to bed not holding their hair back. Its a rule taht needs to be more clearly written and defined. Faye. single suites(2 single rooms+ living room) are 7200 a year but oh so worth it

@Allison Holton - What were you cited to the creed for? Good samaritan policies are only valid if someone is taken to the hospital, if I understand correctly. Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong though. Still sucks though.

@Brakey - I would assume so. The vast majority of students are in traditional doubles. Fayerweather and Glendale being exceptions to that rule.

Not sure I quite agree with the answers to Josh Maxwell's question or Ricky Frederickson's. When I was the one who held back a friend's hair as she threw up from too much alcohol, too fast and CPS came barging in the bathroom, I was punished just the same as she was! I got the same dollar fee, same time in with the guidance counselor, same community service hours and same strike on my record...doesn't sound like my personal situation was taken into account. All I kept hearing was "basically, you were a good friend and got caught in the wrong situation at the wrong time. sorry." How does that help clear my record?!

The 09-10 Tuition costs were: Tuition.................$26,382 Room...................$4,400 Board...................$3,646 Student Fees........$680 Making a total of $35,112. I am not sure whether the 4400 for room is the "average double" or not though.

Comment on CONTINUING COVERAGE: Gastrointestinal Illness Sends 36 to Hospital by Nicole Holstein

I do not feel that the precautions being taken by the school are of the right nature. Replacing all dishware with plastic and Styrofoam is ridiculously wasteful! (Not to mention that no one has bothered placing a recycling receptacle in Gilman) If the dishware is washed properly there should be no significant risk of further contamination, especially if they are sterilized during the washing process with an antiseptic or mild amounts of bleach. And if the school feels that this bacteria is contagious and dangerous enough to warrant the wrapping of bananas (?!?) and handing us individual bottled drinks (another ?!? moment) then it begs the question, what about desks, door knobs, bathrooms, and the general proximity of students to one another. Furthermore, I do not understand the closing of Izzy's and the Cafe, considering they are also run by Chartwells and therefore if the bacteria originated there, yet Gilman is still open, why not the others and vise versa? Now that the other dining areas are closed and it takes crazy long to be served absolutely everything in Gilman, many students, including myself, no longer have time periods long enough to eat at Gilman. Not that most of us feel comfortable doing that anyway these days. So now many students have forgone their meal plans and purchased food to cook themselves or eat out at fast food places. If I can't use my meal plan money for myself, and I can't get a refund, at least donate it to Haiti.

After talking to the Marietta Dept. of Health over the phone for almost an hour, being admitted to Marietta Memorial Hospital for over 24hrs, and STILL not feeling even 50%better...this is way more of a serious situation than the administration is treating it as. Yes, this can start with a cow who has the bacteria then produces it in the milk or a simple mistake of hygeine in the kitchen but, then it spreads like wildfire from student to student and it needs time to go away and time for our immune systems to recover! This is the worst stomach/abdominal pain I have ever felt and not even being able to hold down water is a serious situation. I just pray that we can all recover and finish this semester stronger than it has started off. -Allison

Apologies Dr. Kipp. I'll try to use the correct terminology in the future. Also, thanks for commenting on the situation at hand.
