I'D LIKE TO CLEAR UP A FEW THINGS ABOUT
BALL STATE, TO WHICH WAS REFERED....
I ASSUME YOU ARE CALLING US A "SISTER" SCHOOL BECAUSE
A ENVIROMENTAL DESIGN DEGREE IS OFFERED THRO HERE.
YES, ONE CAN OBTAIN THAT. HOWEVER IT USUALLY
IS GIVEN WHEN THE INDIVIDUAL IS NOT ALLOWED TO MOVE ON THE THEIR
THESIS YEAR BECAUSE OF LOW GPA, INADAQUATE DESIGN ABLITY,
OR LACK OF PATIENCE TO LEAVE SCHOOL. IT IS NOT WHAT THE
PROGRAM IS GEARED TOWARDS, AS IT SOUNDS MIAMI IS. THE USUAL
DEGREE ONE GRADUATED WITH IS A Barch. HOWEVER THEY DO GIVE
YOU THE ENVIRO. DEGREE TOO, SINCE YOU OBVIOUSLY COMPLETED
THE SAME REQUIREMENTS AS THE PEOPLE WHO STOPPED THERE.
AND AS TO THE COMPETIVENESS TO THE SCHOOL AND THE POSSIBLE
STEALING OF SUPPLIES AND "IDEAS"....
THE TOP 2 FLOORS OF THE BUILDING ARE AN "OPEN PLAN"
WHICH MEANS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. THINGS MUST BE LOCKED AWAY
OR WILL WALK AWAY. I REMEMBER IN MY 2ND YEAR, 20 OR SO CHING
BOOKS WERE TAKED IN ONE NIGHT. IN THE REST OF THE BUILDING
THE SUDIOS ARE LOCKED AND ONLY THE STUDENTS IN THERE GIVEN KEYS.
THEFTS IN THIS AREA ARE RARE. AND THE IDEA STEALING....?
I DONT KNOW. MAYBE PEOPLE DO A LITTLE LOOKING AROUND FOR
SOME "INSPIRATION." THEY ARE DOING THEMSELVES ANY GOOD...
IF THEY CONTINUE THE HABIT, IT'LL GET CALLED OUT IN LATER YEARS
DURING CRITS AND JURIES. THEY'LL SIMPLY PUT OFF THE EVENTUAL
NEED TO CREATE THEIR OWN VOCABULARY OF DESIGN.
I DON'T KNOW WHY I'VE NEEDED TO WRITE THIS, YET
THE IMPRESSION THAT WE'RE A BUNCH OF CUT THROATS AND BACK
STABBING THIEVES, JUST ISN'T QUITE RIGHT...
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME...
