Positives:

+ This year Disable the Label was an interactive day about disabilities that either receive no coverage or negative coverage by the media. From activity tables, to guest speakers, and performances, Delta Alpha Pi, the Office of Student Activities, SCOPE and Sigma Chi sponsored this informative day.

+ Two organizations on campus, Honors Student Council and the UNH Green Team, have been bringing two weeks of events to our campus, celebrating our Earth. Not just Earth Day, or Earth Week, but “Earth Weeks.” These organizations have been offering entertainment without wastefulness. From an acoustic show, to an international food festival, to an inflatable maze, it is clear that fun doesn’t rely solely on technology.

Negatives:

– Seeing recycling dumpsters filled to the brim may seem like a progressive site, but not when they are filled with plastic bags. UNH does NOT recycle plastic bags, so any recyclables thrown into the trash just end up in the landfill!

– Hearing students endlessly complain about Spring Weekend. Of course, no performer can please all 6,000 students on campus; everyone has different tastes. Two options remain: go and enjoy the weekend, maybe discover new music, or make your own plans that will please you.

The Battery Charge:

If senioritis, warm weather, nor the calendar date reminded seniors their undergraduate career is ending, then Charge Out sure did. The day was full of receiving caps, gowns, cords, stoles and finalizing graduation plans made graduation seem right around the corner.
