Editor,
On the front page of Monday’s Daily Lobo, there was a story about the mascot Lobo Lucy being allegedly groped by a drunken fan.
The incident is sad, but I don’t see why that story gets to be the biggest front page article with a giant photo while the article about degree programs being chopped, not to mention the many other things the administration has taken away to balance the budget, is slowly pasted below that article.
Now tell me, which affects me more: Someone possibly groping a mascot or the fact that the chemistry and math departments have lost more than 25 professors this year?
Oh sure, I’ll feel bad for Lucy while I’m sitting in my class of 100 or 200 students taught by an undergraduate who could not teach himself out of a paper bag.
I’ll remember her when I’m recording my speech for public speaking at home because there won’t be anymore classes to take on campus, yet head football coach Mike Locksley will continue working on a million-dollar contract because he’s been so good these past few years. Please get your priorities straight.
