Q&A with Professor Sarah Crawford-Parker BY JENNIFER TORLINE
Department: Assistant director of the Honors Program
Hometown: Minneapolis, Minn.
Colleges attended: University of St.
Thomas Aquinas in Minneapolis
and the University of Kansas.
What do you enjoy the most about the courses you teach? It's rare for students to take an art history course in high school. I enjoy introducing them to a new subject.
What role does teaching play in your position with the honors program? I do teaching, advising and recruitment with the honors program, and all the co-curricular
programming. But, I believe that teaching is the most important thing I do.
What was your favorite part about college? When I was in college, I loved art history, but I loved having to take courses that fulfilled general education requirements. It was exciting to take courses outside of my discipline and I thought that was an important part of the process for me.
Describe your perfect day. It would consist of reading a book by a lake, preferably a Minnesota lake.
What is your favorite food? Anything fresh and local. Right now, I love fruit from the farmer's
market.
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? I would like to go to Nigeria for so many reasons. Nigeria has urban centers

that are really an important part of African culture, but there are also more traditional village-based areas. I also love African art history. What is the best advice you've ever received? Write before you think you're ready. Writing helps you to
clarify your ideas, and it helps you to discover what's important about your research.
What one piece of advice would you give to students?
Keep taking foreign language.

Steven Griswold, Decatur, Ill., junior, celebrates Free Hug Day by giving free hugs to students on Wescoe Beach Monday afternoon. Griswold learned about the day through an advertised event on Facebook that is part of the International Free Hugs Campaign, which gained popularity through a YouTube video published in September 2006. Free Hug Day was created to remind everyone that there was still good in the world.

DO YOU THINK THAT THE FAMILIES OF THE VIRGINIA TECH VICTIMS SHOULD RECEIVE SETTLEMENTS?
"The incident wasn't the university's fault. If anything it was the police's fault. The university really didn't have a clue about the events until after they had happened."
"I would say no because even though they have lost a loved one, money won't bring them back. Money can only complicate things and make matters worse."
KATRINA WOODS Wichita senior
EMILY BERMAN
Tulsa, Okla., sophomore "No, because it wasn't the fault of the university. They should have had better security, but it could have happened anywhere. Money won't bring a person back to life."
KEVIN BAILEY
Des Moines, Iowa, sophomore "Money can't replace someone dying, but it could only help, not hurt."
