Our Perspective . . . Students should not pay for football advancement
   Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski’s Football Opportunities Study committee has crafted a recommendation to expand facilities used by varsity athletics, specifically football, in phases to the tune of over $32 million.
   Tonight at the SGA senate meeting, university administrators will unmask a plan to pay for phase one of the recommendation, which will most likely include a new student fee. The committee, which met for the last time Saturday, only had one active student member, Student Body President Ryan M. Eller.
    Hiding under the excuse of lost office space due to future plans to demolish Broome-Kirk Gymnasium to make way for a new dining facility, the committee is pushing for the expansion of Owens Field House to include new offices, locker rooms and a larger weight-lifting facility.
SGA needs to put personal differences aside

    The student body will soon need an outlet for their opinions. The question is: Can the Student Government Association (SGA) handle this?
   A recommended plan to expand varsity athletics facilities is making its way to the Board of Trustees. The plan will expand seating in Kidd Brewer Stadium, renovate Varsity Gymnasium, resurface the stadium’s playing field and expand Owens Field House. Robert L. Shaffer, associate vice chancellor for public affairs, said these projects might total $30-32 million.
It’s not about who you are, but who you wear

     While walking around campus for several days thinking of what I would write my opinion on, it came to me one day in class.
   As I was sitting down watching people walk in the room and noticing what each person was wearing, I realized our society has taught us to judge each other not by our personalities, but by our outward appearances.
