Editorial Note Dear Readers, When you ' re talking about education, there are many different things to consider. The classroom is the most important part of any college education, but there are outside influences that can also affect you while you are in school. Many times the momentum of those influences causes me to forget some of the most important reasons for attending college. During the interview sessions I had with some of the faculty and staff featured in the Personalized Education story on page 4, 1 was reminded of several things. First of all, Cowley is unique in that it provides you with a very personalized type of education. Secondly, most of the faculty and staff are more than willing to listen, and they are very aware of the students around them. What I have found at Cowley is that most of the time the faculty and staff are quick to pull me aside to find out what the problem is if I seem to floundering. This type of one-on-one relationship is something that I have never experienced in the course of my education. It has helped me to keep my head on straight when things have really gotten crazy s during the semester. College is also a good place to learn to budget your time. You should learn to make decisions that will affect your education and most likely the rest of your life. But it also a good place to learn about yourself . More than anything else, this college and its teachers have tried to teach me to know my limits and be responsible about what I hope to achieve in anything I undertake. I strongly encourage all the students to take advantage of what the faculty and staff have to offer you regarding instruction and advice. Dr. McAtee ' s philosophy of education is that teachers should impart information, but they should put feeling behind their teaching too. This happens at Cowley, but all to often the students fail to appreciate the instructors ' efforts. In the Personalized Education article, Linda Hargrove mentions that the best friends you make at Cowley may not be people your own age, they may be faculty or staff members or somebody you can learn a great deal from if you give them the chance to teach you. This is especially true for the new students. The faculty and staff can be more than teachers. They can be your friends. - ' ? THE NEW KID IN TOWN-Dr. Patrick McAtee has been in the driver ' s seat of the College since July 1, 1987. McAtee hopes to steer the College in the proper directions based on his personal philosophy of education. (The classic ' 33 Dodge courtesy of Charlie White.
