My message to interview (1/2/09)

Here is a copy of the message I sent to the president of Spectrum asking questions for an interview. I will prob post the answers he gave in another post another time...

Hey, in my English class, we had to pick a Ball State group for the semester to write a few different papers about. I choose Spectrum and for the first paper, am required to interview someone. I know you are the president of the organization and therefore I’d be very grateful if you would answer a few questions and allow me to use your answers in my paper. I have tried to talk to you for the past few days, but seem to always come at bad times when you’re not in your room so I have posted to questions below. If you’d rather not answer them, that is definitely alright, but if so, then it would be wonderful if you could get back to me before Wednesday night (the peer response draft is due Thursday). Thanks again.

What do you think is the main reason for people ridiculing people from Spectrum?...
What are some major issues/concerns you’d like to see fixed with Spectrum?...
