I would like to applaud the speaker at Saturday afternoon's commencement, Dr. Vest, for addressing one of the most pressing global issues of our generation; energy and the importance of sustainable development. That being said, I was appalled at President McDavis's blatant apathy during Dr. Vest's speech. Everyone I could see on stage from my fifth-row seat among my fellow graduates was attentive and respectful. Even if they weren't listening, at least it looked like they were.President McDavis sat slumped in that overly gaudy chair fiddling and resting his head in his hands; he actually closed his eyes, twice! It's only been a week since my last class at Ohio University and I clearly recognize that nod of the head, not as one of deep contemplation of what is being said, but complete and utter boredom and on the verge of falling asleep.The lack of interest on his part, especially to a message this university so desperately needs to hear, leaves me little hope for the future of OU as other schools around the country make energy upgrades and contribute to sustaining our future, leaving OU in the dust.'
