Mass e-mails send mixed messages

Published Oct 25, 2005

"Re: use bcc next time" will forever hold a different meaning after a mass business e-mail went out Wednesday.The e-mail was originally used to inform business students about a fundraiser for victims of Hurricane Stan. It took a different turn when a student responded to all and initiated the first of 91 e-mails sent to all recipients.

"There is usually a reply-to-all restriction on mass e-mails," said Lynn Cole, director of the Neeley Student Resource Center. "For some reason the restriction was not in place, so students were able to reply to the whole business school."

Event’s meaning has been lost

Published Oct 25, 2005

Red Ribbon Week began Monday. Many students can relate to this event through childhood memories of elementary and middle school.Wearing a red ribbon, proudly displayed on your shirt, or on your pants if you lived on the edge back in 1994, made students feel like they were coming together for a cause. Sometimes it would even lead to competition, and whichever class had all the students wearing his or her ribbon would win ice cream or a pizza party, depending on the year.

Unfortunately, that's where most students' knowledge on the subject ends.
