RE: Loss of Students / Reinstating Football
Mayor Mayans desires to solve our festering 20 year old loss
of student problem. His funding plan is a stand alone plan,
independent of all other sports programs, and does not involve any
costs to students. The plan is a win win for students – football,
homecoming, marching bands, etc., with no costs to students.
Your fellow student and City Councilman, District IV, Paul
Gray, in the exercise of a lack of political leadership, refuses to
discuss the issue with his constituents upon the grounds that he
doesn't want to become involved in a controversial issue, as he is
again standing for the coming City Council election. The saying
goes that if you can't stand the heat, you should get out of the
kitchen. Why would a man run for a political leadership position,
and then refuse to discuss substantive issues with his constituents
upon the rationale that he contends it would be detrimental to his
chances of reelection?
It appears Councilman Paul Gray has determined to support the
rationally indefensible and we believe predetermined position of
president Beggs (the antithesis of "Thinkers, Doers, Movers &
Shockers"), rely upon the advice of his minter, WSU political
science professor Ken Ciboski, and is more concerned with president
Beggs' preemptive surreptitious political intrigue campaign of
opposition, prior to any discussion with Mayor Mayans; than to take
the opportunity to substantially and rationally discuss and
determine the issues with his constituents.
With the opportunity to represent other WSU students and his
constituents to their benefit, Gray assiduously avoids discussion
of the substance of the issue, in order to in ingratiating fashion,
support the unmeritorious predetermined position of president
Beggs, who we believe was committed not to reinstate football when
he was hired by the then KU controlled Board of Regents in 1998,
some year prior to our group getting passed through the legislature
a law to legally de-pack the then KU monopolistic controlled B.O.R.
We would ask that you request the WSU student government body
to invite Mayor Mayans and/or the Shocker Black & Golds to speak to
the issues, prior to any vote on the use of the additional increase
and uncommitted contingency funds of the up coming Mil-levy budget.
In appreciation of your consideration and involvement with
these issues that affect your university, we are
Respectfully submitted,
Alumni Shocker Black & Golds
