It’s the pictures shown in this thread, and a calculation of the amount of money wasted on the papers and the chart seen on page two of this thread that shows how else that money could be spent. Realize that stack doesn’t include all the papers sitting in the boxes for a month that no one picks up.

Thanks, Chev.

I think the ideas mentioned here about having people doing things publicly with the paper are creative. However, I think it would only amount to free publicity for them. People would actually be interested in what the paper was saying as opposed to now… nobody really cares. The best thing to do is just do what everyone already does… just ignore them. In the end, this would be the worst punishment. When a three-year old makes a scene for candy, it’s best not to give in to him/her w/attention.

They simply see this as a chance for free publicity. So, don’t let them have what they want.

LoL those are my 3.50$ shorts. 2 for 7. I got the other pair in red.

Can somebody post today’s utimes article??

Yeah I heard some guy will be scanning it and posting it here soon.

From an anonymous source.

my sources said it would be really bad. Its not too bad. Although if you ask me, and someone can send this in to the Utimes viewpoint, saying 150k is a waste, but then throwing out $500 (low estimate, we believe the numbers might be significantly higher) worth of papers a week (52x$500=26000!!) is not a waste?

So 150k for research into the future of the University is a waste, but that paper there throwing out is not?

I would email them… especially stating those facts above… but I think they blocked me from their email box. I would go down there, but you know them, they’ll jump you like trolls on a princess

I not sure I have ever read a more stupid pointless article. Did Clt give them permission to write that in the 1st person???

I’ll work on a formal response, I just need to sit down and sort through my thoughts and gather facts.

Any suggestions would be nice.

I would like to know exactly how much funding the UTimes gets from student fees.

BBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

It is unreal to me that the ENTIRE PAPER comes out so blantantly against an issue like this. I just dont feel its right. I dont think news papers should have agendas…I think they should report the news. Mike P feels differently according to our talk in the shoutbox yesterday

Mike P hasnt read how blatantly they are going against this football thing of ours.

Better used on the student union? It costs 60 million dollars, 150,000 would not even make a dent

Better used on re-landscaping the front entrance? The front entrance will be moved to a new location in the summer at a cost of millions. 150,000 is again not going to make a dent. No amount of landscaping could make our current entrance look better unless it came with a new sign, but that is pointless due to the new entrance being planned.

Better used to add new dining options? Well it seems that would require more building space as there are no open locations on campus for food locations, something that would cost well over 150,000 dollars.

I just love the Franklin quote at the top: “Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship”

What a load of shit!

First off, UTimes, your scentence at the top of the second column, that begins “Especially” is a scentence fragment. Learn basic grammar before you start writing for a paper, dumbass.

"...impose a D1 football team on campus..."
Well goddamn people! If the students vote for a team, then how the F can you already be saying it was imposed?? We don't even know how the vote went, but I'm sure you wouldn't be willing to bet a dime that the students voted against it.
"We wonder if the students really understand how much money it will cost from their pockets..."
So not only are you making a blind statement that the team will be imposed upon our campus, but you are calling our students dumb too? It says on the ballot, "How much would you be willing to pay?" and offers various options. I'm pretty sure they can handle that. It has $400 as the highest option, so I'm pretty sure people understand that that is as much as they might pay. And either way, they get to make their own choice, so it will be the collective voice of the students that expresses how much we want to pay. Just because you are afraid the overall student body is willing to pay for this team, please don't try and discredit their voice by calling them dumb.
"Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship." ~Benjamin Franklin
HOW DARE YOU TRY AND USE BEN FRANKLIN AGAINST US! COMMIES! :ticked:

Did the entire UT staff have a meeting or something to decide that they are all against football? That’s what they make it sound like. :rolleyes: Or was this written by one person who was afraid to put his name on it and posted as a “board editorial” instead?

I bet its 1 person. Alot of the Utimes staff seem to be for football. Only a couple seem to be against it, probably because there dumb enough to think their funding will get or something cause of football… uhhh no… it will get cut for other reason…
