Harvard newspaper doesn't want a 4th sorority

Plus - WHAT KIND OF STUDENTS DO WE WANT? Football fans? We have MORE than enough students - in fact, we have too many. TX State currently cannot house all of its freshmen, nor can they offer enough upper level courses. My daughter might have to stay an extra YEAR if she cannot get into a necessary class next spring. While building continues apace on the stadium, they've cut the bus to her apartment and cut work/study programs.
Priorities - they are screwed up.

@ bold #1 - I don't think that's necessarily football's fault. UTA (no football program) is in a similar situation, with enrollment jumping from ~26,000 to ~33,000 in a matter of about 2 years. I think this is related to the economy rather than the athletic program. However...

@ bold #2 = awful.
