“This is in regard to professors who cannot speak English. Taking a Stats 301 course, which is required for my minor, we had a 69 percent average. The teacher yelled at us for twenty minuets, saying that we were the ones with the problem and not him as a teacher. I think we need TAs and professors who just need to speak English. Who interviews these guys anyway?”

On residence halls …

“Do you think we could actually have a real 24-hour quiet floor on this campus? Some of us like to do homework and sleep on the weekends.”

“I wish they would fix these stupid elevators in Stevenson South.

“I liked the survey for the Stevenson North food service; on the front your ad said check a box: agree, accept, or disagree. The only problem is the order is messed up. This is probably a good thing because I doubt the survey would be too flattering.”

On football …

“Hi, I’m calling in reference to LeShon Johnson’s recent interview on ESPN. LeShon said the only reason that he is here at NIU is because he’s stuck here. Well that absolutely disgusts me. Because being stuck here given a full ride with no tuition payments at all, he has free housing. I know for a fact that he lives in a four-bedroom apartment all by himself. That just disgusts me. You’re stuck here with a full ride. LeShon, get a clue—get out. We don’t need you here. I don’t need to be paying for that.”

On services …

“This is in regards to Cary Supolo. He is disappointed about the services for students with disabilities. Well, I would like to say that I am receiving help from services for students with disabilities, and I couldn’t make it here without them and if he doesn’t like it, too bad—he doesn’t have to use their services.”

“I think if Cary Supolo doesn’t want to use the services for students with disabilities, he doesn’t have to. I wouldn’t be able to make it without them. Thanks, Lynn Serge.”

On columnists …

“I just called to say I love this guy, Pete Schuh. I like his column. And what’s with all this lesbian, gay, homosexual stuff, it’s getting old.”

Miscellaneous …

“Charlotte Chambers is concerned about the twenty-one gun salute becoming a firing squad for the bus riders and the drivers. That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Hello. Charlotte Chambers, they use blanks in those guns, not live ammunition.
