Rant Unfair Registration  Registering for classes last week based on classifications continues to be a problem on the VSU campus. The day students are allowed to register for classes is determined by how many hours the student has acquired in previous semesters. Student registration should be determined either by GPA or attendance. I have no [...]

RANT  Why do we have so many fountains on campus that are hardly ever in use? The only time I see the fountains on is during the summer, around the time of freshman orientation. I would like to think that the fountains are not just there to hook potential students. I know we were in [...]

Rave                 I think it’s great that there are so many students taking interest in breast cancer awareness and domestic violence awareness this month. Things like the “Handprint Project” and “Saving lids to Save Lives” are two great ways to participate and show that you care. These are two pressing issues that are affecting more [...]

Rave Advising can be useful: “I love advising and my advisor. I like it because my advisor is very thorough and makes sure I understand all my options. He gives me several options and also suggests things he thinks I would like personally.” Megan Harris- Sophomore English/ Journalism Major “I like advising because in my [...]

Rant That’s what she said:   I am so tired of people who scoff at That’s-What-She-Said jokes. Come on guys, lighten up and appreciate the fact that Chuck Norris jokes have almost completely faded from the scene. Relax and enjoy the disturbing visuals that accompany the best and brightest of the current fad. Don’t worry. It [...]

Rant Losing Internet   I don’t like the fact that the construction work is interrupting the internet connection in Odum Library.  Usually if you’re on the second and third floor IT will tell you to move to the first floor. Jasmine Coker- Sophomore Biology major Rave Good food at a later time  I like the fact [...]

Rant A Foul Smell   Every once in a while I have noticed that the corner where Hopper and the new University Union face each other will have this putrid smell. It smells like a combination of poop and rotten garbage. I have also noticed that there is a grill there so I can only guess [...]

Rave A Beautiful Campus  I would like to commend whoever is responsible for making VSU’s campus as beautiful as it is. I would also like to applaud the fact that VSU is working to improve our campus through the renovation of older buildings and the construction of new ones. Through this and the continual expansion [...]

Rant A Cry for a Blazer’s Stadium I don’t like the fact that our Valdosta State Blazers, twice National Champions over the last 5 years, and reoccurring top 10 team in the Nation, don’t have their own stadium. How excited am I expected to get when I see Cedric Jones returning an interception for a [...]

Student Housing Rave Student Housing definitely works hard to make sure all our maintenance or any other personal problems inside our rooms are fixed promptly. If you put in a work order, either over the phone or on the Internet, you can be sure that they will be there to help you later that day, [...]

A Spectator tradition  One thing that the Spectator is sure to have each week is the “Rant & Rave.” However, we want to switch it up a bit. Originally we have had our staff write up a rant and rave for the week, but we have all come to the same consensus of wanting them [...]
