]]> Comment on Stone House Park’s Special Use Permit Gets Negative Recommendation by Danielle T http://dekalbcountyonline.com/stone-house-park-gets-negative-recommendation/comment-page-1/#comment-43108 Danielle T Thu, 17 May 2012 16:03:55 +0000 http://dekalbcountyonline.com/?p=235935#comment-43108 As long as SHP doesn't allow Peacefest to be held there ever again, things will be okay. Peacefest is basically a ton of underage kids running around doing drugs, listening to dubstep, and ruining property. The other festivals that were held (Widows Peak, Whippersnap, Shoe Fest) were an older crowd of individuals who were respectful and came out to be around friends and enjoy good music. I know a lot of folks from the area moved here because it's a quiet area, but you can't deny a county growth because you want to keep it a quiet area.

Assuming no financial or other factors present, the biggest reason a sophomore is going to leave a school is because of social life, atmosphere, and culture at a school. The fact that greek life is on the rise is a strong indicator because those organizations for a strong social structure. Leadership is either not understanding students or they are not surveying them enough. What really makes a university truly desireable to students. Why is the common perception that NIU is a commuter college. Do the math. Take an experimental approach. Creative leadership in the "communiversity" is the only solution. I'm not holding my breath.
