Welcome back to Skyline College everybody. I trust you all are well, and let's face it, if you're not, I probably don't care anyway. Since this is our first issue after the break and the general feeling around the office is something along the lines of, "Nobody reads us anyway," I'm not going to go into an introduction of any spectacular magnitude.
Editor's note - Julie Hansen is a professor of music at Skyline. She has traveled to Thailand over 30 times during the last two decades. I arrived in Bangkok, Thailand, Dec. 29 and later went to Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. The earthquake had just happened and news of tsunami damage came over TV and newspapers.
Skyline is back in session and students on campus are struggling to skillfully maneuver through the labyrinth of construction projects balancing books, a cup of coffee, and an oversized backpack. Students sorting through their transcripts, however, face another, equally impossible maze-one of changing course numbers, requirement inconsistencies, and mixed information.
Regarding Michael Menaster's piece in the Dec. 6 issue concerning campus security, Skyline College is a safe campus. It is in the top five colleges in the Bay Area in terms of safety, according to the National Crime Statistics. We are committed to preserving this excellent record.
