IRADITION wo Tort —Drew Tartar Making a difference. Western students sometimes found that their voices did make a difference. When the state government at- tempted to cut education funds, West- ern and other state schools united for a higher education rally that showed the state government that students cared. Students voiced their oe over what they felt was an uaa arg unfairly difficult English 101 pass fail exam. As a result, the department revamped the test and gave students another chance to salvage their English 101 grade. Next year, students will not be required to take such an exam. A local politician encouraged students to register to vote in the Bowling Green elections. As a result, many did register, and some became active in local cam- paigns. Students learned that their opinions were heard and that, at times, they could make a difference by making their opin- ions known. —Greg Lovett IN THE WINTER weather, Sheila Hardesty, a junior from Louisville, tries to stay warm and dry under her umbrella.
