Letter to the editor: Tradition, history not grounds for animal abuse

Published Jan 24, 2008

We want to clarify our position as protesters of the rodeo and the exploitative non-human entertainment industry at large.

We feel that given the facts of the inevitable deaths and provocative means that ensure a performance for humans' amusement, there is no way to justify non-humans' forced involvement in such barbaric activities. We view the rodeo as exploitative, since the non-humans exist as expendable entities to draw in ticket sales.

Published Jan 24, 2008

As usual, promises to lose weight and be healthier have begun ringing in the New Year.

SGA rightfully upholds presidential veto

Published Jan 23, 2008

Kudos to the Student Government Association for not overriding a veto that would bring back an undemocratic resolution.


SGA's resolution requesting that KTCU FM 88.7 "The Choice" bring back jazz programming last fall evoked opposition by KTCU and students. Later, the resolution was rightly vetoed by Jace Thompson, outgoing student body president. But despite the president's veto, the same resolution resurfaced Tuesday.


SGA made the right decision this time and did not allow the resolution to pass.
