Q&A

My interviewee had on a cozy-looking gray sweatshirt pullover, capri, and brown flip-flop number. She looked very comfortable, and sat in a chair with one leg up under her. This made me at ease, too. She's not that much older than I am either. I posed my questions, and as she answered them, I hastily scribbled notes and quotes into my notebook. Whenever I looked up from note-taking, I would occasionally see her look at my notebook, as if to see what exactly I was writing. I must say that generally she answered my questions with responses that were similar to what I expected. So now I question if the answers would differ if I were to interview students who are members of the Newman Community. Are students just as gung-ho as the head of campus ministry? I would think probably, because they have chosen to be a part of the community (as my interviewee pointed out). Do members of this community have varying opinions about how things are done (e.g. how the Mass is said)? Do they care only about the social aspect of the community?  It would be interesting to find out what members think is the most important and fundamental aspect of this community.

Newman Community. Is that a Christian group on campus, or is it off campus? Sounds neat.
