Cothran died Thursday, Oct. 11, a week after falling from his fifth-floor window in Capstone. His death is still under investigation. Back at the hospital, Salehi found time to refl ect. “I was in this rose garden and I found this perfect rose,” he said. “It looked so beautiful. It smelled so good. And then I realized that rose would die. It wouldn’t be here forever. It made the rose smell so much sweeter, and look so much better. And as I thought about it, it helped with the grief.” The room fell silent once again. Wright stood up and walked back to the center of the room. “Is there anyone else who wants to say something?” The students, once dismissed, file out of the chapel. Some leave, some hover in groups outside, trading memories of Taylor. Natalie Shamblen, a fi rst- year nursing student, was one of them. “He was the kind of kid that would try to sneak into class so no one would know he was missing, but everyone knew he was gone,” she said. “The teacher would always know and point it out,” she said. “Like Milo and Miguel Salehi said, he was the embodiment of our teenage years.”

SENATE ● Continued from 1 bill received its fi rst reading and that he met with a “group of senators” that concurred. Gaines asked Laura to be clearer on whom the “group of senators” was that he referred to in more than one scenario. “I will try to be as transparent as I can with you,” Laura said. Sen. Meredith Ross, a second-year political science student and chair of the Academics Committee, also discussed possible changes in the Academics Committee. Last year, a bill proposed by Allen Klump, a fourth- year political science student, revised the delegation of the Academics Committee to include one representative from each academic college. The bill was passed, but has yet to be signed by President Andrew Sorensen. Ross suggested sending Sorensen a request not to sign the legislation because reorganizing the committee in the middle of a session would be unproductive.
