I suppose one could have a little fun with the situation. Perhaps a few students would like to collect data on this change. Do you have Observer software loaded onto a laptop? It is good for noting trips, overstepping, complaints, etc. After baseline with chunk chain, do some Hawthorne effects. Tie ribbons onto it one day, paint it (I would not ask the powers that be; just don't get any on the carpet) different colors, invite an art student to turn it into an artistic statement (maybe add some more chains in different textures-- hotlinks), and continue to note reactions. Just brainstorming. *********************************************** Dr. Joyce Johnson Assistant Professor of Psychology Developmental/ Experimental Centenary College of Louisiana PO Box 41188 2911 Centenary Blvd. Shreveport, LA 71134-1188 homepage: <http://www.centenary.edu/~jjohnson> office 318 869 5253 FAX 318 869 5004 Attn: Dr Johnson, Psychology ************************************************
