Editorial speaks truth about
smokers at Georgia Highlands College
Dear Editor,
I read the article, "Attention smokers: show a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T
please!," and I commend the writer for taking a stand for the non-smokers
at Georgia Highlands College. It is awful to have to walk through cigarette smoke
every time I leave a building. After being inside for a long time I look
forward to going out into the fresh air, but before you can get to the
fresh air, you have to breathe the second hand smoke. I hope the smokers
at Georgia Highlands College will take the hint and smoke a little farther away from
the doors. I respect the fact that some people choose to smoke. Therefore,
I would really appreciate smokers respecting the air that non-smokers
have to breathe.

Testing not
needed
Dear Editor,
I strongly disagree with students having to take the COMPASS test. I had
to take it because I did not score well on my SAT. Now I am stuck taking
a class just because I did not do well on the COMPASS test either. However,
in high school, I did well in math. I do not take tests well, and many
other students have the same problem, so I believe that the college should
consider the student's past grades instead of one test. Because of the
COMPASS test many students, including myself, are placed in the learning
support classes and some do not need these classes. This is not a fair
way of deciding which classes' students should take.

Good for nursing
Dear Editor,
The article "Georgia's new Health Professional Initiative allows
Georgia Highlands College to have larger Nursing class" is great. I am planning
on being a nurse and getting my degree here at Georgia Highlands College. Nurses are
needed so badly that the state of Georgia will do just about anything
to get more. With the classes expanding in the nursing program more students
may consider nursing as a career.
