To endings and new beginnings: excitement for the new dorms

As the semester is wrapping up the biggest buzz on campus is still about all the construction. However, not everything about the construction is a complaint or concern. There are many students expressing excitement as the new dorms will be opening soon. Many of the incoming freshmen will not be seeing these for the first time until the campus tours over the summer and quite possibly not until they have moved on campus at the beginning of next semester. While many of the students are still expressing their concerns about the campus constriction affecting parking, the noise disturbances others still like forward to the completion as it draws closer. “I cannot wait to walk through the halls and see this new building, and finally see the end product”, says Nick Davis, a sophomore. Many of the students who have just gotten their room assignments in the new dorms are already excited to be experiencing the newest rooms and furniture on campus. Many of the students are already planning on their new dorm room being the hang-out spot, while others are planning the posters and decorations that will adorn their new home next semester.

Dishonoring the honor of Commencement Speaker 

The Student Government Union (SGU), has lowered the academic excellence of this school by allowing a prestigious honor to fall by the wayside. Yes, Saint Leo University is now allowing B- average students to speak at commencement, an honor that has traditionally been reserved for the student that exhibits not only academic excellence but exemplifies the Core Values that Saint Leo University holds dear. Yet, with the passing and acceptance of Senate Resolution 2, the Commencement Committee, begrudgingly, has lowered the required speaker GPA to encompass those students who have a 3.0 or higher.

Car Crash Damages Lamppost and ROTC Van.

At 12:20 a.m. on Feb. 11, a report was called in to Campus Security stating damage to a curb, lamppost and government owned ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) van on campus. There is no surveillance covering the incident itself, according to Mike D’Ambrosio, Operation Manager of Campus Security. Although “there is no physical witness,” D’Ambrosio said they have gathered enough evidence to involve Pasco County Sheriff’s Office. Working with the Sheriff’s office, Campus Security has gathered that the vehicle, heading west, miss-navigated the east turn, hit the curb, and went air born before taking out a lamppost, blowing a tire, and causing extensive damage to the driver’s side of the 10-passenger ROTC van.

With the new dormitory building going up right now in rapid fashion to attract more students, along with the new school of business, the parking problem has yet to be resolved. For a number of years now, parking has been a big and growing problem for the Saint Leo’s faculty, on-campus students, and most notably, commuter students.
