Editorials We need high honors

Education, it is true, is for education's sake. Students, at least we hope, attend classes and work hard not so much to obtain good grades, but to further their understanding of their world and the way in which it works as well. Nevertheless- those students who do achieve a GPA of 3.2 or higher gain special recognition and are placed on the Dean's List. It is fair and just that such students be awarded for their efforts and. recognized for their high achievement, These students, are highlighted, and praised because of their exceptional academic merit and deservedly so. However, there is a qualitative difference between the student who receives a GPA of 3.2 and the student who achieves a 3.6 or higher. While there is no doubting that the student who gains a GPA of 3.2 is an exceptional student, the peer who acquires a GPA of 3.6 is clearly on. a different level and should be properly distinguished, not lumped together with those students who made Dean's List. For first year stu- dents the cut-off for Dean's List is 3.0. Doesn't the student who achieves a 3.6 deserve to be honored separately for their high achievement? We propose instead, that students who obtain a GPA of 3.6 or higher be differentiated from those who make Deans List by creating a High Honors list. Students who make such high grades deserve to be indi- vidually recognized but more importantly, students will feel challenged if not compelled to work harder in the hopes of obtaining the more pres- tigious award of High Honors.

In ternet too slow The Colby Internet connection is considerably slower than it was last year and while there is a marked difference from last semester, the con- nection is still too slow. It takes longer to load web pages, check e-mail and even connect to Instant Messenger. So what is the cause of the painfully slow connections we are all beginning to experience? The on-campus Ethernet system uses a standard Tl connection. This can transfer approximately 1.4 MB of information per second.
