-----,

I always thought the school was cheap, and wondered why we never got things that we wanted. I always wondered where all this money that we give the school goes. Well, I cannot answer that question, because I have no clue, but I'm sure it goes somewhere.

Philadelphia 76ers renting out the Dixon Center for a practice arena, that I thought this whole building was going to be a problem.

So far, it seems as though there have been more problems than people imagined.

The school, which does not seem to like to plan things out-usually because they are so far behind on everything anyway-has gone on along with the president. I mean, it is like President Iadarola has gotten a new toy, the Dixon Center, and has to show it off to everybody.

Like they care. I'm tired of caring about the Dixon Center, because it is old news. It does not interest me anymore. You would kind of figure that it does not interest the whole world either.

I think the school is constantly so busy worrying about their selfimage that they are forgetting the little people, and those are the ones that matter the most.

My father always told me that you have to stand up for what you believe in, and that you should never get bullied around. He also told me that for every company to work well, you need to take care of the people that make it work.

It does not surprise me that the students at the school care so little about what the school looks like. It does not surprise me that the students break things on campus, because the school does not care about us. The Dixon Center impressed us for a couple of months. Now it's time to try something new that will bring our loyalty back to you.

To Campus Ministry for providing the community with the celebration of Fat Tuesday. And to the three guys who played music, even though there were not too many people in attendance.

To Dr. Verde, for always renting out the Dixon Center to other schools. At least he is keeping with Cabrini tradition: not caring about the students' needs.

To the administration, for finally realizing that they have to do what the students ask, especially because the students make the school functions work.
