Opinion

Barnett’s actions have gone too far
Colorado football coach should be disciplined

The comments Colorado head football coach Gary Barnett made about Katie Hnida are not only insensitive and untimely, but his words should also result in him being reprimanded.

Hnida, one of the first women to play college football, said last week she was raped by a teammate four years ago and that she finally decided to come forward now because of the football program’s other problems, which includes six recent sexual assault cases.
In a time like this, Barnett should act on his best behavior as his job is on the line, but, in the words of Colorado president Elizabeth Hoffman, his reaction to the allegations are just “unacceptable.”

SGA should improve spending practices

TCU has a talent for swindling the money out of students’ pockets, but probably the worst example of this is the Student Government Association’s recent decision to buy SuperFrog a new costume. I don’t know about you, but I didn’t come here so I could buy the cheerleaders something new to show off at football games.

Student gov affects each student on campus

We will pay $19,700 in tuition for the 2004-2005 school year. Twenty dollars a person will go to the Student Government Association. Comparatively, this is a very small fee but it impacts students in ways they may not even know about.
