  • ~CAMPUS VIEWS One Equal Standards . Dear Professors, - Ifyou are going to havea strict policy on attendance | and tardiness we, your students, expect you to be as | on time and present as we are, if not more so. - It is entirely unfair for you to expect us to be on | time with our work in hand, two or three days a week, | when you cant even show up on time or collect our assignments on a timely basis. ; - You also cannot expect us to understand the basic ; material when you have neither taught it tous nor | - held class to explain an assignment, and you do not _ |. have the right to yell at your students because they |} do not understand the material required to do the as- . signment. '. If the entirety of two classes cannot understand an | assignment that is due, there is a failing, but itis not on the students part. If all of them do not understand something, then there is an issue in the teaching, and | you need to realize that.

The bane of my existence Laura Odom Editor-in-Chief - Honestly, no one ever chooses to skip breakfast. It . just isnt our top priority. When I first wake up in the morning, my first : thought is usually, Do I have enough time to show- | er? not Oh, do I have enough time to eat break- | fast? Yes, I know your answer to that will be just : wake up earlier. But seriously how many of us who work, go to class and have social lives have time to wake up earlier? If we started doing that, we would lose even more sleep. I am not denying that breakfast is an important | meal. I know from experience that missing break- | fast is never really a good idea for me. By the time it | gets around to lunch time. I. am. starving. I understand that eating breakfast is a wonderful | | way to get up and going in the morning, but it is nev- | ' era high priority of mine. Breakfast is always just | the thing to go when I get too busy. No one can deny the importance of breakfast, but | more so the practicality of it. I would love to build : the time to eat breakfast in the morning, but there is | a problem. IfI eat too close to waking up I getreally : sick, but if I wait until after my first class to eat it is | . lunch time. So, what do I do? I need the pick-me-up that is | breakfast, but I cant. In an ideal world I would have | the time to eat a granola or cereal bar for breakfast. | _ .Sometimes I succeed in packing a bit of homemade | _ . trail-mix that I snack on before lunch. It isnt a tradi- | tional breakfast, but the mixture of cereal, nuts and seeds gives me that kick start that Iam looking for. It is never a good idea to skip breakfast but some- | times it is a necessity. I would love to be able to eat | breakfast every morning. My only advice is to make sure you do not gorge yourself at lunch and dinner because youve skipped | breakfast. And never skip both lunch and breakfast. | Believe me, that is never a good idea. | Is breakfast really a priority? A good way to wake up Ceillie Simkiss Photographer/Designer In my years of high school and college, ve found ' that eating breakfast is one of the best things I can : do to ensure I have a good day. | I love food, and despite my small stature, I eat a lot of it. One of the ways I managed to avoid gaining the dreaded Freshman 15 is by eating at least a small breakfast as often as I can, which mostly means weekdays that I have class. No way am I getting up / on days that I dont have classes to attend simply to eat. However, science has proven that eating some- : thing in the morning not only kick starts your me- tabolism, but it also minimizes the amount of snack- ing that you do throughout the day. Minimizing snacking will help to keep your diet healthier and ; make you a more pleasant person in the morning by forcing you to wake up. Tam also used to taking medicines in the morning for various things, and medicines really shouldnt be taken on an empty stomach. I have enough stom- : ach issues as it is; I dont need any help destroying my stomach lining by taking medicines without eat- ing first. It wouldnt do me any favors, and I dont enjoy vomiting any more than I absolutely have to. Ive also gotten migraines from not eating enough on a daily basis. I become a much nicer human be- _ ing after Ive eaten a little bit in the morning, and I _ always like being a more pleasant person. These are some of the reasons that I have built ' time for breakfast into my daily schedule, though _ Im sure that there are other reasons for eating it. Food is great, no matter what time of day it is, and it can almost always make me feel a little bit better. Plus, it tastes good. How can you beat that?
