SBG president vs. Jake Go

Gallaudet University's Student Body Government president, Robert McConnell have some issues with a student, Jake Go. Jake Go have a disorder called CHARGE syndrome and it has do affect to his desperate for acceptance. SBG president, Robert McConnell was tired of Jake Go's annoying e-mails and then McConnell respond to him and insult him about "mental illiness" and need some professional help. Jake Go decided to foward that e-mail to some Gallaudet community which it does make SBG president look bad.

It was possible reason for many SBG staff resigned, includes vice president, Sara Collins and Chief of Staff, Jessica Frank?

Former SBG Vice President

Former Gallaudet University's Student Body Government Vice President, Sara Collins recently resigned her position due to health reason. The rumor was spread that reason why she resigned as vice president because she was pregnant. The source is very valid because it just rumor from students.

If she said that reason why she resigned as SBG vice president due to health reason. It was possible that she was pregnant since pregnancy is part of the health issue.

Another protest?

President Davila and Provost Weiner decided to have a meeting with student organization presidents. They plan to have meet with faculty/staff and students next.

They have a concern that I. King Jordan and Jane Fernendes comes back to teach next semester. They was worried to heard the rumor that there will another students protest and can hurt our school's accredite since our probation is recently off. President Davila try to say that is not worth to protest against just two persons.

Some students was not happy to heard this rumor because we want to move on with "New Gallaudet" and healing. Maybe it will be protest enough if we just don't sign up for classes under I. King Jordan and Jane Fernandes instead prepare a biggest protest and it can make us look bad.

Former CRE's divorce

Robert Wilson, former CRE for Benson Hall and currently work for Department of Public Safety. He recently divorced his wife several months ago. The rumor that reason they divorce because his wife decided to became lesbian. I heard so many stories from students at Gallaudet University, it sound so reliable.

What I know from today's society, people start to open with gay community and more people come out from closet. But sad thing that some married couples get divorced because of their lover decides to come out from closet to be gay.

"White Thanksgiving"

The sources say that there is snowing in Canada and the north part of United States. Is that good thing? Because of danger for global warming or just enjoy the snow that we don't get much snow lately.

We can have a nice Thanksgiving vacation with snow in (maybe) exchange for "White Christmas." There is one negative about having a snow during a holiday. Delay flights can really awful for most people who waiting to go home for holiday or return to home, work, or school. I did interview to some students who experience some flight delaying when they are trying to return to Gallaudet after Thanksgiving vacation.

Flight delaying is pretty hassle for many people because nobody like to sit in airport and wait for long period. Even if there are plently of store and food courts at airport. For my personal experience at Greyhound bus station, my bus got delayed for like 8 hours and I have to sit and wait for long time with nothing else to do and no place to eat.

Maybe it was good thing that airport have wireless for us to use laptop during waiting but some airline do cost money to use wireless. Patience that we are all struggle with it and no one can have 100% of patience.
