The 3 Amigos Ladies and gentlemen of the Student Body, we are now introducing in the cen- ter ring Drake's very own Three Amigos: President Mi- chael Ferrari, Provost Ion Er- icson, and Vice President of Enrollment Management and Student Life, Don Ad- ams. They are here for your enter- tainment to perform death defying feats of academic and economic acrobatics. No- tice there is not safety net. Lofted above the center ring: Q: You are still a relatively new president to Drake, why did you take the job here knowing all the work that had to be done to revi- talize the university? A: 1 thought it would be fun. I had been offered the presidencies of state universities, but I wouldn't have made a difference there. I would have just been nib- bling around the margins making things a little better here and there. But here I can really make a difference. And I intend to be here a good long time. -Ferrari- On tight rope number one on the left: Q: Enrollment was high this year, how do we keep it growing? A: We have to show right here that we have a good product, that we are doing it well, we have the right plan, we have the right peo- ple. Once Drake has proved itself in its home market, it will then have the option of going out into wider geographical areas to re- cruit. -Adams- And finally to the right, walking on fiery coals: Q: As head of academic affairs what, in your opinion, is the key to a successful education? A: A key to a successful educa- tion is to find a mentor. Someone who models good behavior and demonstrates sound values. The mentor should push students into being all that they can be. My mentor in college was constantly pushing me. I hated it at first. I asked my feet everyday why they brought me in there to see him, but after a while I learned to love having my mind challenged. -Ericson- We hope you have enjoyed the performance. Please exit quietly and pick up your di- ploma and tuition bill. Quotes taken from the Des Moines Skywalker
