Reflecting on the tomorrow
Our Take
Issue date: 8/25/08 Section: Perspectives
Evolve. It's a word that seems to be this year's theme. Whether it's from a global or local perspective, as Bob Dylan would say: "The times they are a-changin'."
When the Olympics began a few weeks ago, it was as if nations of the globe were joining hands. The Olympics were a representation of peace and unity that can exist in the world when we all really try. However, this was short-lived.
Barely after opening ceremonies, the Russia-Georgia conflict escalated, August 7 and 8, to challenge the long-held theme of unity that accomodates the Olympic games.
This year also marks an election year. The presidential race is overshadowing all other races as this political battles pits John McCain against Barack Obama. Be sure to stay tuned to The All State as this year a feature issue will be devoted to Election '08 and provide an in-depth look at U.S. politics.
For APSU, several emerging changes are on the horizon. Expansion is one area of change. Thep possibility of a satellite campus is being explored in Robertson County and Springfield, according to President Timothy Hall. In addition, APSU is considering increasing the number of courses already offered in Dickson County.
On main campus, APSU is anticipating numerous changes as well. The department of education is in pursuit of installing APSU's first doctoral program. This is quite suiting for an institution that started as a school for training young teachers for Tennessee's rural areas.
On a different note, this academic year marks Hall's second year as APSU's president. In the "honeymoon period," Hall seemed flawless as his personable, down- to-earth personality warmed the campus. TAS will keep a watchful eye on any plans that he has in store for APSU.
TAS is a newspaper written by students for students. We give agency to student voices and consider it a pleasure and duty to help APSU find its voice.
We've been an up and coming school for the past couple of years. We have a new president, new SGA leaders and a whole new staff at TAS.
A plethora of freshman are coming in, students are graduating, majors are changing as minds find out there are more options than first perceived. Everyone is growing. At TAS, we are no different.
Help us evolve and find our voice for the student body. Step up and speak your mind, make news known, let the community know of concerts or book readings and keep an eye on sports around the city.
Talk to us by visiting our office in the Morgan UC Room 115, call us at (931)221-7376 or go online at www.theallstate.com and leave us a message. As the Beatles said, we need to all "come together right now" to evolve.
