Lake Takes

THUMBS DOWN to the bare window in A-259.

Students call it the “fish bowl” room, the classroom with no blinds on its huge picture window.

How can students concentrate when people are constantly walking by and looking in at them?

And every time someone passes by the window, all eyes and heads in the classroom turn toward the window.

Get rid of this scary scene from Finding Nemo. Bring back the blinds.

THUMBS UP to the artwork hanging in the halls.

Color. How grand it is in the halls of North Lake with the recent addition of paintings on the walls.

The N-R always wondered why more art wasn’t displayed on campus.

And while we’re on the subject of art, the N-R can’t wait until the Student Art Exhibition goes up in the Gallery in April.

The landscape of North Lake never looks better than it does in April when the bluebonnets dot the tiny hills outside, and the student art adorns the walls inside.

THUMBS DOWN to the Dead Zone.

It’s OK if the cell phones don’t ring in class, but wouldn’t it be nice to receive text messages and voice mail?

This so-called Dead Zone on campus may have to do with state regulations, but one of these days it could pose a problem in an emergency situation.

THUMBS UP to the Health Center’s information display.

They can’t cure the common cold, but if you want to know how to keep from getting one, the Health Center has a brochure about this and a hundred other topics that are free for the taking.

This just goes to show you that our nurses and staff are not only helpful on the inside, but the outside as well.
