BARE BONES
29 June ‘06:
The drive-by KU scribblers at the Eagle have spoken with their
totally subjective opinion. Us great unwashed Eagle readers
should genuflect, go away, and let Beggs' totally subjective
opinion damage the university while he continues to fail to
solve WSU's loss of student problem.
The drive-by KU scribblers at the Eagle contend WSU football
is "[a] decision for WSU leaders and fans to make, not
Mayans." We are WSU fans and alumni, and we want to solve our
loss of student problem by reinstating football, the loss of
which caused the problem in the first instance, some 20 years
ago. Who, by the way, are these WSU leaders? Who are these
"Thinkers, Doers, Movers & Shockers" who want to solve our
loss of student problem? It certainly isn't president Beggs
who continues to lose students on his 7 year watch,
notwithstanding buying students with taxpayers Mil-levy money.
On the issue of football and the loss of students problem,
president Beggs is the anthesis of "Thinkers, Doers, Movers &
Shockers".
The drive-by KU scribblers grudgingly admit since it's
taxpayer money, the City "[s]hould have some oversight of how
that money is used." No, legally the City and County should
designate how our gift moneys, other than capital improvement
debt service, should be expended, with consideration of the
university's documented requests. Particularly is that
legally so, since the taxpaying citizens and community never
voted for, and never legally authorized, any thing other than
paying off capital improvements at the time the 1.5 Mil-levy
for WSU was approved in 1963, so that the assets of the
university could be transferred to the state debt free, as
required by the legislature for WSU's admission into the state
system of higher education.
With their initial "Punt" editorial, the drive-by KU
scribblers at the Eagle demonstrated their bigoted adamant
opposition to any plan to reinstate football at WSU, long
before they had any idea of what the plan would consist of.
The Eagle KU drive-by opinion only scribblers initially
exhibited their bigoted opinion, and by that process lost all
credibility on the issue, and presently do not deserve the
community's consideration of their view on the issue.
The Eagle KU drive-by scribblers carp about and are profoundly
concerned with timing. It's a timing problem. But Mayor
Mayans discussed the issue at a Chamber sunrise scrambler on
January 19th, at a time when the recent Wrangler issue was
unknown. Simply more evidence of the Eagle's strident bigoted
opposition.
