Do people judge your body modification? If you don’t have one, do you judge people by their body mods?

Lucky Armijo, Special Education major “I think the only way I've ever been judged or treated differently is in a positive light because of my tattoos. The kids that I work with at the elementary school love the tattoos, especially the Aquaman one.”

Justin Nolen, History major “I think that tattoos that are able to be covered easily are fine, but if you're going in to any professional environment at all, getting a tattoo on your face or neck is basically going 'Yeah, don't hire me because I can't make good decisions.’ If you're going to get tattoos make them tasteful and able to be covered.”

What do students think about all the spam mail that is sent every week to school email addresses?

Mike Wilson Communications major “It’s going to happen whether you want it to or not. If it’s really too much of a hassle for people to click ‘delete’ if they don’t want to read it, then that’s their problem.”

Elliot Reddinger Welding major “I don’t like it. It just clogs up my email, and then you look at it and it’s usually the same thing multiple weeks in a row. It’s just kind of pointless, because it’s never anything that really involves the students very much.”

What Would You Want As A Superpower?

Carlos Montenegro, engineering major said, “Probably multiply something so I could have my other selves do other stuff at the same time. I’m a server at my job so I would have one be collecting stuff, one be cleaning, one be doing other stuff…and then for homework I would do the same thing.”

Cynthia Clark, Respiratory therapy major said, “I want to make fire! No wait hold on no I don’t…I want to be able to go invisible because then I could sneak around and get the 411, all the juicy gossip, and spread rumors. People would know the truth.”

Stephen Harrison, physics major said, “I never really thought about it. I’d probably want the ability to read other people’s minds perhaps.
