It’s interesting how some things change and others…well…remain traditional.  I asked a student leader recently if a fellow Sphinx Club member was attending a campus function.  Without hesitation, he pulled out his portable electronic multimedia device-mini computer-entertainment center (cell phone) and sent a text message.  In a matter of seconds the answer came back.<\/p>\n

I won’t make a comparison or voice an opinion – each has its place here at Wabash and we’d be a lesser place if we didn’t have both.  I think the technical term is "state-of-the-art traditional".  <\/p>\n
