Olympic College free movie night

Here is my plug and shameless FREE advertisement for a FREE event catering to Olympic College students, which comes in the form of “FREE movie night at OC.” (I sense Jon MF Miller’s head spinning as I write this.)

Lest you choose to follow the masses into a movie deemed worthy of widespread viewing by the student organizers at OC, you must cast your vote! There are no limitations or restrictions on the movies chosen, as of yet. The ultimate decision is made by SO’s Sheryl McKinley and Jaime McCandies who can be found in room # 122Aof the Bremer Student Center.

So far movies ranging from Pineapple Express and Twilight, to Elf and Casablanca have managed to hit the movie roster for the big screen in the Art Lecture Hall, room #103. Depending on the availability of the hall and the popularity of the movie chosen, they can be shown at multiple times during the day. Iron Man will be playing on March 4 from 2-4 p.m. and again from 6-8 p.m.

Unlike movie theaters, there are no bag checks, or outside food restrictions; plus FREE candy is provided and soon there will be FREE popcorn as well.

So don’t forget to put your vote in for FREE movie night at Olympic College!

Students should be a priority, not an afterthought

Hey everyone. New face here, but hopefully you get used to me.

I think it is very important for the people who make decisions regarding our college, its policies and its operating procedures to look at the decisions from the student’s point of view. We are, in essence, the customers at OC. So, when a school administrator openly admits to me, on the record in an interview, that some of the security issues on the Shelton campus are because those making the decisions thought about the issue from their point of view from their offices and not the students, it infuriates me.

We are the reason they are there. What good is a college without students? How decisions made affect the students, and how to help the students through improvements made is paramount. We should be their first thought, not an after-the-fact “oops.”

The response to the lack of emergency phones on the Shelton campus should not be an ‘oh, oops, I guess we only thought about ourselves, the phones are on order’ type of response. That is appalling. Once it was brought to the attention of the administration that students were not only unable to contact security but that they felt they were unsafe, the administration should have hopped to and fixed the problem. Instead, they continue to sit on their collective laurels and continue to feed the line, which I have heard from more than one person involved, that the phones are on order.

The administrators need to wake up and get their priorities in order.
