Suspension of veteran’s money unfair to those depending on it

Published Mar 5, 2010

As if military spouses didn't have enough to worry about already, now they will have to worry about how they will pay for college.

Though the government only began giving grant money to military spouses last year, many would have already begun to count on that money to get them a promotion or a new job.



The problem here is that the government promised these husbands or wives money that it cannot deliver. Some were already approved to receive up to $6,000 in grant money before the program was suspended in February.

This is dangerous and a problem for numerous reasons.

Tennis team takes on three weekend matches

Published Mar 5, 2010

The upcoming weekend is a busy one for the men's and women's tennis teams. The men's team will host the No. 24 Tulsa Golden Hurricane today, and the women will face the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday and the Fighting Illini of the University of Illinois on Sunday.

The lead story in the newspaper was a report about members of the football team facing drug charges.

The Cougars withstood an 18-4 run early in the game by the Frogs to pull out their single season record twenty-eighth win.
