dub isn t liable

I must congratulate the SAC bozos on a job well done. Not onl>
they raped the student body of its student media, but they hav<
cessfully shuffled the blame off on an unsuspecting and innocent p;
I am a member of the Frisbee Club (actually an intercolli
team). One would think that this new organization held up st
media at virtual gunpoint. I am also a journalism major, a f<
Gamecock editor and a news reporter for WUSC. The media r
more than a lot to me ? it is my entire life.
WHEN THE FRISBEE TEAM submitted its charter reques
semester, our main interest was that we would be guatanteed nr
fields. Club sports informed us that we would also need to tur
budget.
We drafted a modest budget of a few hundred dollars we th
would cover the cost of jerseys and travel expenses. Upon subn
this budget, we were requested to submit a much larger budget.
IF CUTS HAVE to be made, and organizations be made to suffei
not reduce some of the club sports bucks? As a viable traveli
tercollegiate team, the frisbee team certainly deserves a share of
After all, we pay activity fees just like everyone else. But the club
attitude that clubs can be showered with abundant funds is wrong.
For those students who wish to do something about this crim
SAC has committed, why not go into student government offices c

If you would like to personally get in some gripes to the frisbee
you are welcome to come out to our practices on the band field at
on any Sunday, Wednesday, or Friday.

I am writing as a representative of one of this campus' li
societies on our reaction to the recent action taken by SAC in cutti
funding of the New Crucible.
Our initial reaction is great. If that (the New Crucible) repre

We do not consider articles on "the art of pushing drugs" wo
