“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
― C. S. Lewis
If there are no students, I would like to propose a Ragin Pagin meetup on the front row, during the game.
Martin Hall, as usual, is doing their best to kill the future donor base, or more accurately to abort it in the third trimester. Since 1973 virtually every decision from Martin Hall affecting student and/or alumni engagement with the University has been to discourage engagement. When all us old geezers [I am class off 1974] are gone, MH will look around and see no donors and no fans ..... and promptly blame the few that remain for the demise of the donor/fan base.
Wonder if that book is allowed on campus…

This proposed boot to the throat move reminds me of the “Pro American Ralley” at Martin Hall in ‘79, called such where there was no Iranian Protest to the hostage crisis. Hand picked speakers, pre approved speeches nothing inflammatory.
But hey, a couple of Middle Eastern dudes went fist city anyway, much to the dismay of MH.
