Calling All Cars
Once again I wanted to ask for all y'all's help with something. First I want to say thanks to all of you who e-mailed the folks at Covenant about recent rule changes. Some good things are coming of it.
But now I need ya'll, if ye are so moved, to consider helping out again with the little matter of Johnny Moad's continuing education at Covenant College. Let me explain:
Moad was a freshman last year, and bombed academically, so he wasn't allowed to return in the spring. So, he went home and went to a local college, and pulled a 4.0 on 17 units. He really really wants to attend Covenant, and two weeks ago drove down from Chicago to talk with Rodney Miller in hopes of making that happen. According to Mr. Miller, "we just don't think it's God's will for you to be at Covenant." For those of you for whom this will matter: Moad lived on Catacombs.
Not that I'm much of a judge, but I personally think Moad's grown a great deal in the last 9 months, and has really shown a commitment to keeping his butt in line academically (which is more than I can say for a few upperclassment I know, including myself back in the day). He's also a dang great guy, and freakin' hilarious to hang with. He also looks like a rock-star, and has the last name "Moad." Which is cool.
Anyways, there's a slew of folks on the comittee that decide Moad's fate. I know most of you don't know him, but to me there's in the principle of the matter that's going on here. So, do consider e-mailing some of the folks on the committee, like Scott Raymond, Pat Ralston, Dr. Wright, Dr. Follet, Professor Trimmiew, and Dr. Hall. Do feel free to hit up any other friends you might have in the administration also.
If you need their e-mail address, hit me with a comment or e-mail and I'll shoot them to you. I don't want those dang spam spider bugs pullin' their addies.

The following is a transcript of an actual conversation between Lang Martin and myself concerning Johnny Moad:
LM: With a name like Johnny Moad, he should be a punk rocker.
Me: He is.
LM: Wow. That's great.
Me: and his name is spelled M-O-A-D.
LM: That's even better.
As you can see from this conversation, Johnny Moad is the kind of Great American Hero that even awes Lang Martin. He doesn't need Covenant; Covenant needs him.

Thanks for all you're trying to do for me Josiah, I really appreciate it and it means a lot that you care enough to get involved, and Mesh, you brought a tear to my eye.
On a side note, I just clicked the Covenant link on "calling all cars" ... I figured it would probably link me to the covenant web page... but i clicked it just to make sure.... my assumption was correct, it was covenant's page.... but one thing troubled me.... i dont even recognise that girl, actually i dont recognise either of them..... Ok, now i risk sounding like a complete ass and an insensitive son of a bitch.... but...... how is that picture supposed to attract any potential future covenant students..... when i see that image the first thing to pop into my mind is most definately not " wow, that looks like a great place to go to school, its academics are sooo good that its almost worth the nearly 100,000 dollar price tag, I cant wait to start classes and orientation week!!!".... ok, now that that's said, and the dammage done.... I think covenant's marketing/PR department needs some help....
