Talking to the President

Tuesday night, Berry opened up to questions from its students about new dorm policies among other things.  

What the meeting came down to though was a form of free speech that is to often forgotten in this age of political apathy.  All students who went to the meeting got to voice their opinions and ask whatever questions they felt were appropriate.  There was no time limit.  No over-riding censorship (though a few comments by the administration were self-censored).  No topics barred.  It was wonderful.

Now lets just hope that the administration listens to what was said because if it doesn't then this great conversation means nothing.  The meeting would be nothing more then dumb show and noise.  A nice gesture, as they pick our pockets of whatever money we, the student body have left.
