A Sea Of Red

WIth the addition of WWJFD we have now achieved 200 registered users! High fives all around!

Medic beat ya to it.

some of those users are questionable.

In a completely unrelated development, Winthropfans.com also reached 200 registered users today.

With the help of you guys in Lynchburg getting the word out, I feel we can push the total to 300 or higher in the next couple of months. We have thousands & thousands of students coming back to school and I honestly feel that awareness is our greatest challenge to growth. Don't be shy about dropping FlameFans references to your friends & neighbors.

I'm working on it. I put it on myspace. I try to tell people about it.

I'm telling you we need to put flyers up around campus. That's about the only way to get messages out. Put them all over doors around campus, and on the bulletin boards, etc.

Another thing we can do (if we get permission) is to put a link on the Liberty U and Libertyflames web pages. Also the marquee electronic signs we have all around the campus would be cool. We could scroll the URL on there all the time between announcements. I think it could be really affective.

That won't happen.

143 of the 200 users have at least one post.

What about setting a table with flyers up in the Mariott?

I'm just pleased they are now linking us on the alumni section of the school website. I sincerely doubt they would put us on LibertyFlames.com or LibertyU.com unless we paid them. But I like these other more grassroots ideas. Lets face it ... students today are much more influenced through personal interaction on campus or through social networking.

The only way we'd get linked was if we completely censored everything and didn't criticize a single thing. That wouldn't be fun.

Though it's probably true, that is a sad state of affairs--the whole censorship thing...at some point they are going to have to realize that the LU organism ultimately belongs to and becomes the students who have patronized it (unless it wants to be authoritarian instead of authoritative.) On a related note, I read with interest the article on the guy (not associated with LU) who has created the student Bill of Rights for Academic Freedom highlighted on the trbc/jf/national liberty journal site. I like the guys ideas and I wonder if fostering the same committment to Student Academic Freedom will be supported in the LU climate.

First the dress code, then academic freedom?

OMG--we're turning into RADFORD!

It is highlighted favorably on the trbc/jf sites. Plus, read the site and the ideals before prematurely pulling the trigger in response to buzz-words without reading the source material.
