Kudos to Timothy Hall: APSU's 9th president
Issue date: 4/2/08 Section: Perspectives
Today marks the official inauguration of Timothy Hall as APSU's ninth president. Considering the historic nature of this day, The All State would like to share thoughts on the new president, as well as give him some advice.
Marlon Scott, Sports Editor and also known as one-man army at TAS, has also noticed Hall's sociable nature. "I applaud President Hall's commitment to meeting everyone," Scott said, "I was really impressed when he sang the national anthem at a Govs basketball game."
"My advice to him would be to establish some kind of trademark (like a hat, cane or bright red jacket)," said Scott. "With the popularity he has already earned, he could bring in a lot of revenue selling the patented 'Hall handkerchief'."
Patrick Armstrong, our competitive yet charming Features Editor, takes a much more serious view of Hall.
"One time I was going to the grill and I saw him sitting with some of my fraternity brothers just eating and chatting away," said Armstrong. "It really shows that he cares about students and wants to talk to us one on one."
Armstrong advises that Hall be true to himself. "The only advice I can give President Hall is to keep doing what he has been doing and students and faculty will continue to love him."
Kasey Henricks, our illustrious leader and Editor in Chief, appreciates the realness Hall has shown to students. "Thus far, Hall has seemed to be a very personable and accessible president," said Henricks. "Often times, when I'm walking through campus, I'll see him eating lunch in the cafeteria or drinking coffee in Einstein's with fellow students. This makes me smile."
Aimee Thompson, TAS's somewhat obnoxious Perspectives Editor, said she's only heard good things about Hall.
"From what I have heard, Hall has taken it on himself to be the 'people's man'," Thompson said. "I wrote an article about him once, and he was quick to respond to the emails I sent him. He was also very friendly, and it seems as though he genuinely wants to help people."
