Winter storm Jonas covered Lehigh’s campus in more than two feet of snow. For more about the storm cleanup, see page 3. Q&A: Bill Bradley on how to ‘be better’ By EM OKREPKIE News Editor Bill Bradley discussed ideas from his book We Can All Do Better as he delivered the 18th Kenner Lecture on Cultural Understanding and Tolerance on Tuesday. Bradley is a former senator, Olympian and NBA Hall of Famer, according to his website. Q: The Kenner Lecture on Cultural Understanding and Tolerance invites speakers to share their mes-sages with the Lehigh communi-ty, and your message is one that encourages people “to care about each other” and “reclaim the legacy that reflects our best self.” Why do you see these things as necessary for America to prosper, and how can these ideals be used to promote prosperity on a college campus such as Lehigh? Bill Bradley: I think the stron-gest community is the community that has the most respect for its members, and the members for each other. I think America is lucky. We’re a very diverse society, and we are a country of immigrants. We’ve overcome a lot of dark chapters in our lives to be a country that has a deep optimism about our capacities and our ultimate values. Q: Lehigh political science pro-fessor Ted Morgan once noted that the “corporate conservative” atmo-sphere on campus discourages polit-ical activism. In your book “We Can All Do Better,” you encourage indi-viduals to actively work to better the state of the country. How would you Spring admit orientation altered By CATE PETERSON Associate News Editor Hundreds of first-year students move to South Mountain and start a week-long orientation process every August. Another group of students, known as “special popu-lation” students, experience a sim-ilar orientation in January. The special population stu-dents include transfers, commut-ers, international students and January-admits, who are students who are accepted for the spring semester as opposed to the fall semester. Lehigh has changed the orien-tation process over the past few years for these special populations for the program to better fit their needs. In the fall of 2015, the trans-fer orientation process was not well-received, according to Julie Metkus, a Fall 2015 transfer stu-dent. “It was kind of a mess to be hon-est,” Metkus said.
