You mean the Ambulatory Care Center? where Pevely used to be?

+1 DuBourg or SLUMA would be good choices to rename after Father.

WHoa. Not a faculty member. I'm a current student actually. As they say in talk radio, "First time caller, long time listener." I've been a follower of this blog since I was in high school. (I even bought student season tickets before they were included with tuition.) And I DO like Biondi for the most part. (How could you not compared to how this place looked before 1987?) And I think Absurd_Bills_fan is right about the Crews/Biondi thing; it's really not clear that it was Biondi who was to blame. Is there anything factually wrong with what I've written? If so, let me know. I'm not trying to play games with people on the content I have written. I just wanted to have a little fun with what my name was. Sure. It's a little controversial (some might say "troll"-y) to get a name like that (especially considering I'm not as certain as I was even a month ago). If it's too terrible, I'll change it.

That letter today was very ridiculous. I'm starting to dislike Father a little bit over the last few days. It seemed like he was reaching out to the faculty and trying to heal the situation, but blaming a student for the SGA meeting incident is a bridge too far. I find it hard to believe he is really reaching out after that and canceling his appearance today. This letter does not help his cause much. I still love everything he has done for SLU, but I'm losing a little patience.

Well not that I necessarily support Joe totally, he is right here. "Running to the media" implies an email, phone call, or press release to the news outlet. While those things may have been used for big stories, most of these little stories result from people posting to Facebook or Twitter. It seems that "the media" have been running to the students and faculty (and the administration when they feel like it) more than anything else. Most of the social media stuff seems to be initiated by rabble-rousing students, not the faculty. I don't think students think of themselves as "running to the media" when they post something to Facebook or Twitter. They just want to tell their friends.
