To the individuals who are posting comments that cast the students of the Department of Dramatic Arts in a negative light:
Although I perceive that some of your comments are motivated by a certain good humoured spirit of 'making fun,' there are also some remarks that bear an unfortunately sinister tone (I note for example the word 'hate' is used in one instance: "I'm going to have to agree with the guy who hates drama students."). As a teaching and learning community that should be priding itself on diversity, curiosity for the other, not to mention intellectual and creative curiosity for disciplines other than one's own, I must confess to being rather surprised that some of your remarks have actually passed editorial muster and are appearing in print. Nonetheless, I would like these individuals to feel free to come and speak to me about the various degrees we offer in the Department: I'll happily outline the intellectual, creative and pedagogical pathways we pursue in offering our programming. Who knows, you might find yourself wanting to minor in Dramatic Arts...

Poem 1
Dearest maiden, of the school
How I sit, watching, ever the nervous fool
I wait for you to notice, though you never will
I see you every day, but my mind is ill,
For I cannot ask you what I want
I want to ask you on a date
Nothing dull, but nothing fake
Good company to pass the time,
Is all I ask from a weary mind. (Continued…)
