C-USA codes for sporting events stifle expression
· The first home football game of the year rehabilitated fan enthusiasm and attendance. New and returning students united to initiate the War Owls student cheering section. They joined alumni, the Marching Owl Band and others to defend the blue and grey honor against rival University of Houston (page 1, Sept. 8). The showing brought to the game a distinctive zeal that students used to reserve for select public parties and finals studythons.
Thanks for listening, Housing and Dining
· We were disappointed when Housing and Dining first created Saturday dinner at the expense of Saturday breakfast. But we are glad to see that H&D is now seeking student opinion on the meal change by consulting college presidents. While we still hold that Saturday dinners are a waste of funds and will inhibit weekend adventures beyond the hedges, we hope that college presidents will aptly represent the student stomach and that H&D will follow.
Have a happy weekend, families
· Welcome parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, legal guardians and any other relatives we may have overlooked. We hope you are having a good time at Families Weekend 2006. We invite you to take advantage of the open lectures, Powderpuff football games and coffee with President David Leebron when you are not busy intruding on undergraduate parties. And while we cannot discourage you from attending Lovett College's Getcheroxoff or Baker College's Baker Blues, we really do not want to report on Emergency Medical Services calls for intoxicated grandparents.
