Letters to the Editor...

Glad to have HOPE, hope to keep HOPE

Dear Editor,

I was very glad to see an article about HOPE scholarship in the newspaper. It is important for college students to be kept up to date on the events taking place right now with HOPE since so many of us benefit from this scholarship. I have many opinions on what can be done to improve HOPE. I believe that the GPA level is too low, and also that there should not be a second chance given to those who lose HOPE. It is also helpful to know that college students can offer suggestions simply by writing to their senator. I plan on doing so as soon as I can.

Dental Hygiene Clinic gets two thumbs up

Dear Editor,

I have read the section about Heritage Hall offering renovated health labs from the October issue of the SMP. I enjoyed this article. I would just like to say that I think the Dental Hygiene Clinic is wonderful. I had my teeth cleaned there, and they really did a good job. They are very thorough and nice. All of the work is done by students, but it is watched over by an instructor. It is also cheap to get your teeth cleaned there. It costs $30.00. I am glad that Georgia Highlands College offers these programs to students. It really helped me by getting my teeth cleaned there, because I don't have any Dental Insurance. I would recommend it to anyone who needs their teeth cleaned.

Some class attendance policies seem unfair to working students

Dear Editor,

I would like to write to express my opinion about Georgia Highlands College's attendance policy.

I would first off like to say that if most of the students are like me and work full time they are not always able to get to school every day. I feel like I am penalized because I work full time to pay for my education and have to show up to work some days and can not attend school. It would seem more effective to me that, if I can take the tests and pass why I should be made to attend except for test days. I understand that there are classes that can be taken on computer, by video, and some classes are offered only two times a semester. Those classes are good but most of the classes that are needed for my degree are not offered those ways.

If all classes were available to be taken outside the college that would be excellent, but they are not. That is why I feel the attendance policy should be done away with.

Spooks and poll- 'interesting and entertaining'

Dear Editor,

I thought there were some interesting and entertaining articles in the October edition of the �Six Mile Post.� I was intrigued by the poll that was taken on the issue of whether or not downloading music from the Internet should be illegal. I chose this issue as a topic for an argumentative essay in my English 1101 class. I also liked the �Spooky Haunts� in the paper. My friends and I will definitely be checking some of those locations out on Halloween!
