Armed to the teeth with
caffeine, | made my way back
to the table to confidently list
their chosen fields. On the
way, though, I encountered
two students who didn’t geta
chance to sign the sign-up
sheet at the presentation and
wanted credit for attending.
Here was my salvation; now,
I wouldn’t have to sound
smart all by myself! I
introduced them to the speaker
and sat down beside them.
One was a Physical Therapy
major and the other, the famed
Undecided. No, I don’t recall
their names (hey, it was
maybe ten years ago) but I do
very vividly recall that after
they excused themselves,
ostensibly to get to class, our
speaker also rose to leave but
not before saying that Mont
Alto was a good place to be.
As I walked with him to his
car, he went on to say that we
were so fortunate to be in a
place that offered students
that opportunity to be, that
term that philosophy folk use
a lot.
The Campus Theme
program has evolved over the
years from invited speakers
to interactive panel forums
composed of students from
different backgrounds and
ages and experts within the
year’s given theme. Likewise,
our students’ faces have
changed from my vantage
point on the other side of the
desk and technology has
replaced a sometimes more
personal approach. Even the
dining hall with its big coffee
urns is now the Millstream
and the coffee itself could
more than likely be a latte.
What hasn’t changed is that
opportunity to hear that new
approach on working, going
to school, and raising a child
from Heather in the second
seat in row two or to listen
as Chad in the back shares his
thoughts on the beauty of rock.
This is what that Campus
Theme speaker meant when
he said that here at Penn State
Mont Alto, we have an
opportunity to be. The minds
behind these changing faces
will not only tackle
environmental problems or
work toward making an
injured child become mobile
but they will become valued
human beings to make this
world a better and better
place to be.
I love the change of faces
every semester and the new
ideas that are shared and I
love this job where I too can

On January 20, 2005,
President Bush renewed his
second term in office . Over
300,000 people braved the cold
to witness this historic event.
The theme was of freedom and
democracy and Bush’s inaugural
address

his plans to
rid the world
of oppres-

tyranny.
wartime inauguration since
Vietnam, Bush vowed to make
human rights the top priority of
foreign policy: “All who live in
tyranny and hopelessness can
know the United States will not
ignore your oppression or
excuse your oppressors.”
Within his twenty-one minute
speech, Bush said “freedom,”
“free,” or “liberty” forty-nine
times, reiterating his objective of
freedom throughout the world.

President Bush
will most likely
have to appoint
anew Supreme Court judge this
term.
The biggest concern of the
55% Presidential Inauguration
was security and the threat of
terrorism. Over 17.3 million
dollars was spent on security.
100 city blocks were blocked off
and everything from sharp
shooters to fighter jets were
watching. 13,000 plus soldiers

assistance of bomb sniffing
dogs, patrolled the event.
Some protesters released an
antiwar banner at the
ceremony, but were removed
by police as the Bush
supporters chanted “U-S-A.”
There were protesters along
the parade route with anti-
Bush signs and antiwar posters
calling for President Bush’s
impeachment. The day was
free from any major incidents.
Bush alluded to the first
reading of the Declaration of
Independence and the ringing
of the liberty bell. He quoted
a witness as saying “It rang as
if it meant something.” Bush
went on to say, “ in our time it
means something still.
America, in this young
century, proclaims liberty
throughout all the world, and
to all the inhabitants thereof.
Renewed in our strength—
tested, but not weary—we are
ready for the greatest
achievements in the history of
freedom.”
