Opinion Keview Editorial: ie - SPIKE BEAGLE Be Like Spike! By Robert Purdy (Bob is an Advisor/Consultant for the Division of Undergraduate Studies.) Students who have me for an advisor are e used to hearing stories about my eight-year-old daughter, Elizabeth. “Spike Beagle” is a cartoon character she likes to draw. When Beth heard the new edition of the “Lion’s Eye” was going to be published, she asked me if she could draw a cartoon for the paper. “Well,” I replied, “It might be nice to have a cartoon to welcome Freshmen. However, I don’t know if the editor will use your cartoon. It must say something important.” Five minutes later Beth returned with her welcome cartoon. Here's Spike Beagle happilly jumping up to welcome Freshmen to college. Spike is a puppy...enthusiastic, curious, and involved with his life. These are good characteristics for students just beginning college. As a college student, you want to be involved with the experience. You don’t want college to be something that happens to you; you want college to be something that you make happen for yourself. You want to grab hold of it and chew on it, just the way Spike Beagle would. So, “paws up” to welcome Freshmen to Delaware County Campus! We are glad you are here and we will do our “doggone best” to help you to be successful! The Lion's Eye 1s your paper too!
