Why do bad things happen to good people? Do cheaters ever prosper? And what the heck does it mean to “leverage excellence” anyway? We’re not quite sure, but apparently it has something to do with setting baby deer on fire, Ray Kurzweil, and slurpees. Eminent Texas Tech philosopher, fencer, and all-around good guy Dr. Mark Webb joins us to tackle these issues and lend some academic credibility to our incredible little experiment. Don’t panic if his benevolent, authoritative voice puts you into a trance. It’s all part of the plan…

It was my understanding that reaching the 40,000 student goal is that the University would receive a substantial increase in state funding every year, roughly the same amount as UT and TamU (86mil?). Maybe they will rebuild your theatre then =(.
Honestly though, they should focus on the staffing quality over at Rawls rather than dumping money into new buildings, some of the non teaching staff, is really not to up to par. But hey at least the Arts and Sciences will be taking over the BA building when they complete moving over the students. Side note, look into the history of that building, youll find they drastically over paid for it, and such, it is built like a tank, extra needless, concrete and steel everywhere, great stuff.
