May 11, 2005


Subscribers & Readers,

I would like to begin by thanking you as a reader of The Chieftain.  This project began last fall because I felt there was a need for students to know what was going on campus.  This has included updates on Student Life events, Chapel, construction, etc.  It has become a venue that currently sends out thousands of emails weekly updating students, faculty, staff, prospective students, alumni, and friends of DBU.  This site has created a freedom to ask questions and get answers.

            The Chieftain began as an anonymous site because I wanted to deliver news that was not focused on my interests, but the students.  However, as you may or may not know, I have been elected to represent the students as SGA/Student Body President for the coming year.  I take this opportunity seriously, and fully commit myself to serving the students.  I do not wish to destroy this line of communication with you all; however, using a Xanga site does not seem to be the most suitable way of doing so.

Today will be the last post of by The DBU Patriot.  My pledge to you as the students is to increase current communications in a more appropriate manner.  I would like to have a transition, in which, the Student Government Association reaches out to inform the students.  When you have questions, contact us.  SGA has quick response to all emails, and makes sure each one gets the attention it deserves.  The SGA website will also become a key part for communication in the fall semester.

            I am in anticipation for the coming academic year.  Enjoy your summer, and see you all in the fall. 

In HIS Grip,

 

Cody C Caudill

“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also the interests of others.” – Philippians 2:3-4

National Day of Prayer…

A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America

Honor’s Program…

DBU’s new Honors Program held its first meeting to prospective students today.  The program requires students to take 30 hours of credit within the Honors Program.  For instance, you can take ENGL 1301H – Honors Introduction to Language and Literature, instead of the normal ENGL 1301.  These classes will require more work of the students involved.  Requirements are a 3.5 GPA, and the students must have less than 70 hours when they apply.  For more information, contact Philip Mitchell, new Honors Program Director, at x5226 or philipm@dbu.edu.

Cinco de Mayo Dr Pepper Break…

Free snacks and drinks on Thursday (NOT Wednesday) in the Quad beginning at 2:30.

Student Life Pancake Study Break…

There will be a late night study break with free pancakes at 10pm in the Crowley Cafeteria on Thursday.

Chapel…

Monday’s Chapel was to support missions.  Joel Hawkins & Band lead the student body in worship, and there were a couple testimonies from students going around the world.  Dale, BSM Director, spoke about the responsibility & opportunity Christians have in missions.  There is a poster and offering bucket in the first floor of the LC.

Wednesday’s Chapel will be for Honor’s Day.

Noondays…

Come for the last free lunch of the semester on Wednesday @ noon.  The food will be provided by FBC in Lancaster.  Corrie Dixon will be speaking.

TheFaceBook…

Within one day there was 75 DBU students registered, and twice that the second day.  The number registered for DBU is now reaching 300 students.  This morning was a scare for many students while the site was down for a couple hours.  Students are protesting saying that this addicting website could have came at a better time than finals.
