Not to do:
I'll just keep my mouth shut on this one

Thanks for that BJ...do we have to go on your blog to see the rest...

Dress code was retarded. I wish they would have relaxed it when I was a student.

Circle dorms removed & new quads built in their place. The tin-can look just doesn't go with the campus at all.

[Rooster Cogburn]

I wish they could go back and handle the horrid layoffs of the late 80's and early 90's with class and dignity. Not Storm Troopers with boxes kicking long term employees to the curb.

And they shouldn't have changed the dress code to look like every other sloppy school! Hate it!

[Hold My Own]

We have to be careful with one thing on this thread and think through what would happen if we were not to do these things. Example, during the 80's & 90's the doors were so close to closing then maybe having a few more employees here and there would have caused them to close forever.

So maybe a disclaimer saying "If we lived in a perfect world and there would be no repercussion's for the one thing I choose it would be..."

Dress code I never got....like somehow we a better christians if our hair doesn't touch our collar. I understand modesty issues regarding some clothing, but the hair thing is funny. T-shirts & jeans are no big deal.

[Rooster Cogburn]

HMO - I said the way they did the layoffs not the layoffs themselves!
Bwall - I just this they went too far. There needs to be something about LU that sets us apart from every other school. Like the Bible says we are to be separate from the world or in but not of.

Yeah, but that's been misused as a broad generalization by churches for years. I remember as a boy, there was no Christian rock because rock music is of the world & it's the devil. They said the same thing about women wearing pants, make-up, etc........thankfully, my dad realized one day, this is retarded & I'm not going to preach this nonsense from the pulpit anymore.

We base these things on the culture we are subjected to. Yet, in other countries, being of the world has a completely different meaning. We try to impose preferences as God's law or His desires & I don't think that's what He ever intended.

One thing to do: build a library that is its own separate building, not one that is part of another building (like a community college).
One thing I would change: NO tanning salon on campus (just kidding, HMO).

[SuperJon]

blwall, you better watch out. We've had some good fights regarding dress code on here.

[LUconn]

I think the intent of the dress code had very little to do with Christianity.

And HMO, Colmes is a puppy dog.

[Rooster Cogburn]

It was a way to bring in students that would not have come to LU otherwise. From that standpoint I like it. I just think it went a little too far that is all.

What was a way to bring in students?

[Sly Fox]

It appealed to the IFB/Hardcore Pentecostal base back in the day. The same people who go to schools like Hyles-Anderson, Pensacola & Crown. That base has waned tremendously over the past quarter century and most of those folks now don't lean so far right.

The dress code relaxation.

[Cider Jim]

Sly, I doubt our current student body even knows what "IFB" or "IFBx" stands for, but you are exactly right: in the early years, Liberty had some rules similar to Tenn. Temple, Bob Jones, & Hyles, but Liberty's rules were much more relaxed than most of those other schools.

[Rooster Cogburn]

Trust me on that one. I was forced to go to 2 CFAWs at BJU in the late 90's and LU at that time was MUCH more relaxed. I love LU!

[JDUB]

How about one thing...that was done twice?

I want credit for being the first one to catch this !!!!!!!!

as soon as i saw this thread i called SJ and asked how long until someone wrote it. I was going to but figured HF would step up to the plate

Its funny this is being brought up because I just waled past a girl in a white shirt with a zebra undergarment on, past two people I know who are RA's.

quit your staring perv

Thanks a lot LUconn

1. that you wish you could go back in time and stop LU from doing.

Realizing that Ken Karcher existed.

But then I wouldn't have had anything to write about after Thanksgiving break my first year writing for the Champion.

[Ed Dantes]

Without a doubt I would stop us from giving Sean Hannity an honorary degree. I know he's a conservative and all but he's just a talk show host. And not even a top one. I can't even listen to him most of the time. He seems like he was just a flavor of the week a few years ago. I just think it makes us look stupid and it's not like it really serves any purpose.

Wait wait wait wait wait...

You have a beef with Sean Hannity getting an honorary degree...

...but not with 'Dr.' Chuck Norris?

[LUconn]

I didn't know we gave Chuck a degree. But now that I do I don't have a problem with that. He's a HOFer of what ever it is he does. Also, you've just opened the door to annoying Chuck Norris jokes.
