Well someone else whose quarterly... I'm inmpressed :)
At WPI we have only given out one dsk in 31 years of existence... and
the way it was explained to me is as follows...
If anyone has any doubt that you deserve one, then you probably don't...
If you are lobbying for it you don't deserve one...
If you have a title you most definitely should be under stricter
standards (remember just because everyone else slacks and you don't is
no reason to award you a dsk)
DSK's are not to reward you for doing a good job at a titled position
they are to say that you in the opinion of the awarding group uphold
and represent that standard (of manhood) that they have pledged
themselves to...
I could get more detailed but... I don't think it will do the
situation any good...
In my opinion dsk are not common awards... it should be such an award
that me going to a sectional conference may allow me to see one...
Also a few quick section 94 notes:
The group at the University of New Brunswick - St. John has told me
that they just mailed their interest group application. APO-Canada
here we come!
Remember to find out where the water comes from and join us for the
first annual section 94 summer picnic at Range Pond State Park in
Poland Springs Me. (near Lewiston-Auburn)
jes' my opinion
