News: Wondering questions of the students

Owens was encouraging students to increase the amount of credit hours they were taking and called it Take 15. This was meant to ensure that students completed their degree within the two year time frame. While this is possible for some students it is not for others. Some students felt they were being pressured to take on more than they could handle. Johnson and Giordano assured them that Owens did not intend to put any undue pressure on anyone, Take 15 was merely a suggestion.

Some students voiced concern about the lack of healthy snack choices in the vending machines and requested that there be a larger food selection at the Fireside Grill. The response given to these students was that it had been done in the past but the healthier options had not sold well. However, they did say they would be willing to try it again.

A lack of advertisement for activities and clubs was also brought up. Students said that they wanted their experience here at Owens to be about more than just working toward their degree and graduating; they also want to get involved so they can network. More table toppers and TV promotions were suggested as ways to better get the word out. Johnson said they are trying to promote what's going on around campus the best they can through Ozone, Stall Talk and OTV.

Opinions: Morality an embodiment of free will

In spite of the fact that his manuscript was destroyed, Hume did a great job in his Treatise and Enquiry, following the survival of his study notes, as well as Philosophy of Religion. In the philosophy of religion Hume skillfully demarcated philosophy from religion as well as money driven psychology. In the Treatise he covered a wide range of philosophical issues ranging from space, time, causality, external objects, the passions, free will, and morality. James Fieser had made a few contributions; that Hume argues that our proper notions of space are confined to our visual and tactile experiences of the three-dimensional world, and we err if we think of space more abstractly and independently of those visual and tactile experiences, Fieser said Hume also equates time to space (Fieser).

Poem: The 4 Seas of the 7 Elements and 2 Bridges

-This poem is also a riddle.  The answer is below the poem. 

1 North burns the way. 
1-1 The power so rash in blaze of glory 
1-2 Dark is viewed though light shine through 
1-3 Color spread wild behold the eye 1-4 So breathe taking thy view 
1-5 Its heat shines through for worlds to see 
1-6 Ground forgiven with all the trees 
1-7 The life of breath survives.
