Mississippi State’s Chapel of Memories is a shining example of form and function, serving as an important part of campus history and a beautiful landmark that can be seen from almost anywhere. The first and most important of Vitruvius’ three principles of architecture is function; without it, a building is a statue, rather than real architecture. Not only is…

My topic about my argumentive essay is should college athletes get paid? The future is now and I think every college athlete on a division 1-3 should be paid. The athletes who come out of high school have a lot of fan base behind their name and a lot should come with it. However athletes have help build the empire of the NCAA and get no credit on the accomplishments. Over the past times a lot of schools around the nation have paid athletes under the table. Over the past time both basketball and…

Should soldiers be paid more than athletes? YES, they should! A man in a helmet protecting our country deserves to be paid more than a man in a helmet playing a sport. There are many reasons to support my wonderful claim. Soldiers risk their life everyday for the right of others. Athletes should take a pay decrease and help support the soldiers. After all, soldiers fight for their rights to play sports! If it was up to me, I wouldn't pay them more that $100 a game. The rest of the money could…

I want to begin this letter by apologizing to the Brandeis administration and faculty whom I may have disappointed by not performing to my fullest potential the past academic year, particularly on the prior semester, and I take full responsibility for the past semester’s performance. Since my first semester at Brandeis, I wanted to partake in as many clubs and beneficial experiences as possible. My schedule was quite hectic but I enjoyed all the clubs and volunteer work I was a part of, however,…

I am interested in the Faculty and Staff scholarship because this will help me pay for my books in college, my education, and this will be from people that have helped me out through the years. My future plans are to attend Clarion University Venango campus to major in Medical Imaging. This scholarship could help me out in so many ways through college. It would be extremely appreciated to get a scholarship from teachers that have seen me grow through my education at Union. I am interested in the…

In the 2014 NCCU Faculty Handbook in section 2.4 Statement of Professional Ethics for the Faculty, it states, “We demonstrate respect for all students and uphold our roles as intellectual mentors and counselors. We seek to foster an atmosphere of intellectual honesty and academic inquiry. We evaluate the performances of our students accurately, fairly, and impartially.” Additionally, inconsistencies with communication was present in my final performance evaluation on Calipso, which was a .05…

In Michael Wilbon’s article, “College Athletes Deserve to be Paid”, Michael goes on to state that College athletes deserve to be paid simply based on the fact that they are drawing so much money in for the college. He states the most logical way to pay these athletes is to give them a salary. Yes, the most logical alternative to athletic scholarships would be to eliminate scholarships for athletes and simply give them a yearly salary. This sounds like a very good plan, however, this would not…
