Lake Takes
The N-R’s opinion on recent campus
happenings.  THUMBS
DOWN to frayed flags.
Old Glory is showing her age at North Lake College.
The N-R doesn’t know exactly when flags
are scheduled to be replaced in the DCCCD, but
we consulted the flag etiquette Web site at www.ushistory.org
to find out when a flag should be retired. It
said, “... when it is in such condition
that it is no longer a fitting emblem to display.”
We think it’s time to assess the condition
of all three flags flying in Liberty Circle.
 THUMBS
UP to new carpet and fresh paint.
The reviews are in — either you hate the
new carpet or you love it.
We’ve heard a lot of comments about the
design. Many have said it looks like something’s
been spilled all over it. But the N-R thinks that
that is exactly the point -- it’s camouflage
for the 8,000 pairs of feet that tromple it daily,
and the 8,000 pairs of hands that drip coffee
from their Subway cups.
For low bid, it ain’t bad.
THUMBS
DOWN to clogged arteries.
Sometimes getting to class on time can be dangerous
if there are numerous human obstacles in the way.
The halls weren’t made for social gatherings.
Be courteous to others and don’t clog the
passageways.
In a perfect world, a student life center would
solve the problem. And that’s still on the
agenda for North Lake, right?
THUMBS
UP to dedicated adjuncts.
We know you’re not full time and don’t
have your own offices, so when you stay after
class to help us understand a subject, or arrange
to meet with us at a specific time, we appreciate
it immensely.
Hats off to those dedicated adjunct professors
who travel the galaxy to help students learn.
Believe us — we get it.
Got a take? Tell us.
We may publish your take if it abides
by our letter policy (only 50 words please).
