With the Monday campus visit of primatologist Jane Goodall and the announcement that Alice Walker, author of "The Color Purple," will visit April 29, the number of prestigious speakers the university brings in certainly is not in short supply.
These speakers are brought in for students' benefit, but sometimes the student body doesn't take full advantage of these exceptional experiences.
It's unfortunate that this happens as the diversity of speakers and the variety of topics ensures there's almost always something for everyone.
