Don’t pee in the Chapel

This weeks Chapel Talk really reminded me of the greatness of the Gentlemen’s rule. The entire talk, which was given by Dr.Hollander, was about how many stated rules should be a given. A rule such as “Don’t drop the F Bomb in all campus emails” is not a stated rule because no person should be told not to do it. But when a person starts to break untold rules, society has to deal with it by making some dumb laws.

This brings up the “Email Wars” that have been going on all week long. It’s started with disagreements on President Hess’ public announcement to support HJR-6 with President of Depauw.

As students we did not elect President Hess, Trustees and Board of Directors did. The student body elected the S-T-U-D-E-N-T B-O-D-Y president. So as students, there is no basis or point to be upset about his decisions that do not directly effect us.

Easy as that.

He did not take our voice away. As students, we still have our voice and opinions. The evidence is these email wars. I think they are great because they actually allow Wabash students to argue with meaning. Until someone comes around and drops the f bomb. It kinda just kills the mood. Nice that the same guy that dropped the f bomb volunteered to take pies to the face for charity.
