Bunsis says UNI has ‘misplaced priorities’

COLBY CAMPBELL/Northern Iowan

On April 6, Howard Bunsis, the chair of the American Association of United Professors, discussed why UNI is in a $6 million budget hole and why that hole should not cause academic program changes.

LINH TAStaff Writer

According to Howard Bunsis, the chair of the American Association of United Professors, the cur-rent economic climate at the University of Northern Iowa is a short-term phe-nomenon. Meanwhile, he said, UNI should dip into its $70 million of unrestricted reserves to pay off its $6 million budget hole.

“... UNI administration has not been true to the core mission,” said Bunsis, a professor of account-ing at Eastern Michigan University. “No academic cuts should be made until a full, thorough examination takes place.”

On April 5, in the John Deere Auditorium in the Curris Business

Building, Bunsis used the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) to point out various reasons why UNI is in a $6 mil-lion hole, and why that hole should not cause academic program changes.

“The governing board of the university has like-ly allocated some of the reserves for future use ... however, if those choices could be reversed by deci-sion, by statement or just by fiat of the governing board or administration, then they won’t be in the unrestricted category,” Bunsis said.

Faculty to ‘retool’ programs

BUDGET CUTS

LINH TAStaff Writer

Faculty in the various University of Northern Iowa programs slated for restructuring and suspen-sion will begin to reevalu-ate and retool the pro-grams, this summer or early fall, Executive Vice President and Provost Gloria Gibson said at a press conference on March 8.

During the suspension and restructuring process, programs will not accept incoming students and will retool the courses. For programs selected only for restructuring, incoming students will be accepted, but there will still be a reevaluation and retooling of the cours-es within corresponding departments.

Programs set for sus-pension and restructur-ing include the commu-nication-theatre teach-ing Bachelor of Arts and minor, the geog-raphy B.A. and minor and the TESOL/mod-ern language-teaching B.A., except Spanish. Programs set for restruc-turing include a variety of programs from the art, religion and philosophy, physics and education departments.

COLBY CAMPBELL/Northern IowanU.S. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) talks with students during a Q-and-A session on April 5.

U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley stopped by the Schindler Education Center for a Q-and-A session with students on April 5. He visited with a Human Relations class taught by Kathy Oakland and answered ques-tions on topics ranging from immi-gration to education to health care.

One student asked how impor-tant he thinks the three state univer-

sities are to Iowa. “That’s a pretty easy question,”

Grassley said. “They are very, very important (because of) the decline of K-12 in America, in relation to the other (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries.

the world. We have to do everything we can to make sure that remains to be the case. That is how impor-tant our universities are.”

Jeremey Hulshizer, a senior physics teaching major, asked Grassley how he, a blue-collar worker, became interested in poli-tics.

“My mother and father were always talking his-tory and politics — that’s just the environment I grew up in,” Grassley said. “In high school I decid-ed I wanted to go into political science. My blue-collar career really came from necessity rather than desire. I wanted to help provide for my family.”

Chelsea Guyer, a senior elementary and middle education major, asked what Grassley thought about the recent trend of employers asking for Facebook passwords.

“I guess I have a view that we have to promote as much privacy as we can without ruining the Internet,” Grassley said. “I sit on the judiciary com-mittee, and in the future (this issue) will probably be seen by my committee fairly soon.”

After the Q-and-A, on behalf of the class and the College of Education, David Greenfield, a senior social science teaching major, presented Grassley with a certificate of appre-ciation for his outstanding service.

academic core values and instruction.

According to Bunsis, in comparison to Iowa State University and University of Iowa, the majority of UNI’s athletic department is paid for by student ser-vices fees and by UNI’s “academic core mission.”

On the same day as Bunsis’s lecture, UNI released a university finance statement address-ing “public claims” made over the past several weeks about “what the most recent (CAFR) says about the financial status of

UNI.” In the statement, the

university addresses the claim that budget priori-ties are misplaced by point-ing out that, in fiscal year 2011, the university spent more than “$78.5 million on instruction, an increase of more than $7.4 million” (or 10.4 percent) from fis-cal year 2010.

According to the state-ment, the claim the num-ber of academic admin-istrators has increased is due to an increase in professional and scien-tific staff, which includes staff for ITS, the Office of Sponsored Programs and the counseling center. It

also indicates that over the past five years, the presi-dent’s office expenses have grown 1.3 percent per year and expenses for the pro-vost’s office have grown .5 percent per year.

Ryan Alfred, a senior social science education major, felt that the lecture added another perspective to the budget debate.

“I think if you look at both perspectives, and question both sides, the underlying thing that comes out of it is that we need to move forward to the state legislative body to fix the current budget factor that we have here,” Alfred said.

re-tool the programs. ... This request addresses the Board of Regents’ Strategic Plan priority to pursue educational excel-lence and impact.’”

Gibson was unavailable at press time. At a previous press confer-ence, she said there will be fewer faculty in some pro-grams, which will be deter-mined by how many faculty members take an early retirement incentive program or other options.

Adjunct professors, who may not receive the same benefits as tenured faculty, may replace the lost fac-ulty members from those programs.

Stacey Christensen, public relations manager at University Relations, said via email correspondence

that even with the poten-tial incoming of adjunct instructors, “UNI is com-mitted to having high qual-ity faculty, regardless of position and title.”

While the administra-tion did not provide speci-ficities about what exact-ly should happen in the restructuring, Christopher Martin, professor of com-munication studies, views the restructuring of the communication-theatre teaching B.A. and minor as a chance for improvement.

“I’m looking at the restructuring as an oppor-tunity to make this better ... It gives us a chance to sit back and see where we are,” said Martin, the inter-im head of the department of communication studies. “Are there things that we need to add or take out of the curriculum to make it better?”

Martin said he is glad the communication-theatre teaching B.A. and minor have moved off the list of

programs slated for clo-sure. However, he noted that in the past, curriculum changes were more consul-tative.

“This process operated a little bit differently,” Martin said. “It was like somebody from up above said this is being cut or this is being suspended or restructured, so it would have been nice if there was more consul-tation involved.”

When questioned about the future possibility of restructured programs closing, Gibson said, “We’ve done the cutting. We’ve done the hard work ... there are others that we’re asking the depart-ments to restructure to reorganize in some way. We have no thoughts at this point of time to close those departments.”

Wednesday night’s elec-tion of Jared Parker as Speaker of the Northern Iowa Student Government senate was deemed out of order Thursday evening, Speaker Ryan Alfred said in an email to the senators-elect at 11:13 p.m.

After none of the three speaker candidates managed to gain the simple majority vote required for election in two separate votes, the transitional senate passed a motion to suspend its con-stitution and elect the can-didate who gained the larg-

est amount of votes. Parker won the third election with six votes, while Sen. Blake Findley and Chris Miller each received five.

According to the email, the motion to suspend the constitution violated Robert’s Rules of Order, which state a body cannot suspend its constitution unless it is written in the document.

Parker, who voted against the motion to suspend the constitution, began consult-ing with NISG’s adviser, Lisa Kratz; the other candi-dates; and members of the senate to deem whether the motion was in order.

The transitional senate will meet on Wednesday, April 11 at 7 p.m. in the University Room in Maucker Union to redo the election.

APRIL 10, 2012 | NORTHERN-IOWAN.ORG | VOLUME 108, ISSUE 49

If you’ve read any of my other columns, you have probably picked up on the fact that there are very few things I have a positive opinion about. But I’ve decided, at least for this column, I’ll share

my opinion on something I thoroughly appreciate: Art. When someone mentions art, most people think of drawings and paintings, while what can actually be considered art reaches so far beyond the simple act of applying color to a canvas. To me, art is the manipulation of any medium, be it a canvas, music, performance, the spoken or written word, etc. I love art because the essence of art is subjectivity, and it’s that inherent subjectivity that illuminates the frequently overlooked disconnect between the inten-tions of the “speaker/artist” during the piece’s cre-ation, and the evaluation of the final product by the “audience.” When giving a speech, the words the speaker uses are less important than the audience’s interpretation of those words. It doesn’t matter what the speaker says — if the audience’s interpretation is incorrect, the speaker was ineffective. This happens far more often that one realizes, but we don’t realize it because we believe words are highly objective, therefore we completely trust in our own ability to correctly interpret the message of the speaker. When it comes to art, we tend to be more aware of the inconsistency between the art-ist’s intention and our (the audi-ence’s) interpretation. But we are able to set differing opinions aside and have a mutual appreciation of the work. It’s easy for us to be open to another’s interpre-tation because we enter the discussion understanding the subjectivity of the genre. That is why I love art — because it has tricked us into appreciating a difference in opinion. What is in our best interest rarely conflicts with what is in the best interest of others. I would argue that the differences we perceive only exist within the subjectivity of language. Therefore, our understand-ing of the subjectivity of language should be consis-tent with our understanding of the subjectivity of art. As far as English goes, we all speak the same lan-guage (at least I’d assume so if you’ve made it this

far in the article). But because we were brought up in different places, at different times, by different parents, we all have slightly different definitions for the words we use. It’s like the “English Language edition” of the question, “Is the color red that I see the same color red everyone else sees?” So, take a second or two and think about your defi-

nition of the word “opinion.” My definition of the word “opinion” is irrelevant, but what is relevant is the fact that it’s different than yours. And both of ours are probably different than dictionary.com’s defini-tion: “a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty.” That last one sounds pretty objective though, right? Wrong. That definition includes many subjective terms, such as “belief,” “judgment,” “insuffi-cient” and “complete certainty.” An attempt to objectively define every subjective term would lead to an infinite regress. My point is that words are

more subjective than we realize, and it’s vital we rec-ognize the existence of that subjectivity. Art is aesthetically pleasing, but its importance extends far beyond its feng shui functionality. It provides us with a model of open-mindedness and understanding in scenarios that have no objectively correct answer. We’re individuals because of the way we perceive, not the way we are perceived. It’s time we all “take a page” from a coloring book and appreciate the fact that art is not defined by one’s ability to stay between the lines.

Sexual assault is not a pleasant topic for dis-cussion. It’s not something most people choose to bring up around the dinner table or mention in casual conversation. When we talk about sexual assault, we must also broach the topics of sexuality, violence, power and gender – all of which can stir intense emotions and uncomfort-able thoughts. However, we must discuss sexual assault. We must research it, talk about it and exam-ine its causes and effects, because it directly or indirectly affects so many of us. Nearly one in five women in the United States reported being raped in their lifetime, according to the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Though women are dispropor-tionately affected by sexual violence, one in 71 men reported being raped as well. On college campuses, according to a recent Department of Justice report, as many as one in four women will be victims of rape or attempted rape by the time they graduate. That’s a stag-gering statistic. One in four. One in a thousand would be too many. Sexual Assault Awareness Month is not an awareness month to ignore or trivialize. Awareness can help eliminate sexual assault, but it will take a little bit more than just knowing it’s there. It takes the courage to obtain affirmative con-sent. It takes a willingness to educate oneself on what is and isn’t sexual assault. It takes individu-als who are willing to step up and publicly voice their support for victims of sexual violence. It takes a community that chooses to discuss what is unpleasant and uncomfortable, so that survi-vors of sexual assault do not feel subdued by the silence. Everyone – survivors, friends, families, class-mates, educators, advocates and community members – can be a part of ending sexual vio-lence. There are several ways to get involved and several events to join in this month. On Wednesday and Thursday of this week, at 7:30 p.m. in the Interpreters Theatre, the SAVE Forum Actors will present an interactive performance called “Made to Order: Gender, Consent and Pop Culture.” This performance is an entertaining way to learn more about consent and how bystanders can help in situations where sexual assault may occur. Wear a teal ribbon to show your support for victims of sexual violence. Encourage those around you to do the same. Tell others why you bothered to stick a ribbon on your shirt. Don’t shrug – strike up a conversation. Later this month, a gaggle of men will march across campus wearing bright red high heels in an event called “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes.” On Thursday, April 19, at 4:30 p.m. in front of the Alumni House, you can join Greek Life in their walk to show solidarity with the experiences and struggles of women all around the world. Attending a performance or participating in symbolic shows of support may not seem like much. It’s not much, actually, but it doesn’t take much to start moving in the right direction. That’s better than avoiding unpleasant topics like sexual assault altogether, allowing them to grow in the silence.

(Art) provides us with a model of open-mindedness and understanding in scenarios that have no objectively correct answer.

Just another awareness month?

With the nice weath-er that’s arrived and finals week a little bit too far away to begin studying, take this time to enjoy what our lady, Mother Nature, has provided us with. I can’t mention anything other than patios first, and there are so many around this town. If you’re looking to indulge in some beverages, the Cypress patio is where it’s at. With the lights streamed across the top, that one Skrillex song that seems to be played every night and the occasional adorable pug that wanders around, it’s bound to be a great time. Los Cabos has the always-delicious margarita and the best Mexican food to accom-pany it. Both can be enjoyed facing the hustle and bustle of Main St. By the look of things, Tony’s is also work-ing on a back patio. I know/hope I’m not alone in saying that I spent my winter hibernating and eating Taco Bell and Jimmy Johns tucked under my covers. The Cedar Valley is the perfect

place to work off that extra weight by enjoying a nice stroll, run or bike on the 106 miles of recreational trails that run throughout the com-munity. Besides the restaurants mentioned earlier, Main St. has so many other gemstones, and the walk up and down the street is as enjoyable as the stores themselves. World’s Window is a fair trade retail store. Vintage Iron is packed full of a variety of items. Kitchen Essentials has every-thing a cooking fanatic might need. If thrifting is your thing, visit St. Vincent and be sure to check out the 25-cent color for the day. And before heading home, make a stop at Cup of Joe for an iced mocha. As a biased employee, I have to say that they are probably the best things in the whole world. So whatever your inter-ests may be (drinking, eat-ing, shopping, or for some unfortunate reason, exercis-ing), spring is the time to do all these things all day, every day, outdoors.

Botanical Center plant sale geared at students on a budget

TEHRENE FIRMAN/Northern Iowan

The UNI Botanical Center, which is located west of the McCollum Science Hall, has six main houses, from a desert atmosphere to a tropical jungle room, and more than 1,000 species of plants.

TEHRENE FIRMANEditorial Staff

Students under any bud-get will be able to find a unique plant to take home with them at the annual Spring Plant Sale at the University of Northern Iowa Botanical Center on April 26 from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Botanical Center will be teaming up with the Student Nature Society for a fundraiser that will provide students with cuttings from plants, tropical plants, four different types of basil, herbs and other unusual things not found in the average garden center. “The plants are small,” said Billie Hemmer, manager of the UNI Botanical Center.

“We keep the cost down so students can come in and afford to buy something.” Hemmer points out that the timing of the event makes it easy for students to pick up a perfect gift for Mother’s Day, or just a plant for the students to grow themselves.Students are already express-ing their excitement about the upcoming plant sale. “I think it’s a great idea,” said Rebecca Thacker, senior anthropology major. “More students should have plants. They’re such a great stress reliever and are much easier to take care of then a pet. I’m curious to see what cool things they have for sale this year.” Leah Poe, a UNI elemen-tary education alumna, keeps

plants in her new classroom at Lou Henry Elementary School in Waterloo. “I love having plants in my classroom,” Poe said. “They create a much more welcoming environment. I’m definitely going to get a cou-ple more at the plant sale this year.” According to Tropical Interiors, plants are not only a way to make a space friend-ly and inviting, but can have health benefits as well. Plants have been proven to help accelerate the healing pro-cess, and reduce headaches, fatigue and stress. For more information on the plant sale, visit www.uni.edu/biology/botanicalcen-ter.

Pride Week wraps up with presenter Loren Cameron

KIRSTEN TJOSSEMStaff Writer

Loren Rex Cameron, a photographer whose most famous work is of transsex-ual individuals during their gender transition, shared his personal experiences at the University of Northern Iowa on April 4. His Lang Hall Auditorium presentation was part of UNI Proud’s Pride Week. Cameron, a California native, began his transition from a man to a woman in 1987. He began his pho-tography career in 1993 to document his own transition. Shortly after, he began pho-tographing other transsexu-als, releasing his first book, entitled “Body Alchemy: Transsexual Portraits,” in 1996. Since then, he released his second book, “Man Tool: The Nuts and Bolts of Female-to-Male Surgery.” His most recent work was published

in three volumes, “Cuerpos Fotografiados Por Cameron 1 and 2, Correspondence 1997-2001,” and served as the focus of his presentation at UNI. “I was so impressed with Loren’s presentations,” said Ellie Hail, senior communica-tion major and co-president of UNI Proud. “His art is incredible. But more than that, the stories he had about his models.” With Hail’s third and final Pride Week on the UNI Proud executive board com-plete, she was pleased to see the fantastic success and turn-out this year. The drag show that packed the Union raised almost $400 for charity. “I am so glad the UNI community came out to sup-port everything we do. It means so much to me that this year was so successful,” said Hail. “I can’t wait to see what UNI Proud does next year. I’m sure it will be nothing but fabulous!”

SOFTBALL

Fifteen and counting

WHITNEY PHILLIPS/Northern Iowan

The Panthers have won 15 straight games, three shy of tying the all-time school record of 18 set in 1977. UNI is a perfect 12-0 in Missouri Valley Conference play.

The University of Northern Iowa softball team added another three-game sweep to their résumé over the weekend and extended their winning streak to 15 in a row, their longest winning streak as a Division-I program. The Panthers are three wins shy of tying the all-time school record of 18 consecutive victories, a feat accomplished in 1977 when the team was still a member of the AIAW (Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women). “We haven’t really focused on (the winning streak). We’ve been talking a lot about playing fearless and playing with faith -- faith in yourself and faith in your teammates,” said Jacobs. “They’re not worried about what’s coming up, but just taking care of what’s right in front of us.” The Panthers (28-9, 12-0 MVC) opened their week-end series against the Drake University Bulldogs with a doubleheader on Friday afternoon. UNI sent sopho-more standout Jamie Fisher to the pitching circle for game one of the series. Fisher dominated the Bulldogs from start to finish, striking out 12 batters, while allow-ing just five hits and one run in a complete game. The Panther offense was just as sharp, push-ing across five runs in game one. Senior shortstop Mackenzie Daigh jump-started the UNI offense with a solo home run in the bottom of the third inning to give the Panthers a 1-0 lead. UNI scored a pair of runs in the fourth and fifth innings as well to push their lead to 5-0. Senior Whitney Plein and junior Samantha Reimer led the Panther offense, each recording two RBIs on the day. Daigh finished 2-for-3 with one RBI as well. In game two, senior Jaye Hutcheson toed the rubber for what turned out to be a pitchers’ duel. Hutcheson did a stellar job keeping the Panthers in the game, despite a sluggish offensive performance by the Panthers. Hutcheson picked up her 11th victory of the year after throwing a complete game two-hitter in which she struck out seven Bulldogs while allowing just two runs. Drake found the scoreboard first with a run in the top of the third inning. The Panthers answered with a run of their own in the bottom of the fourth following a Courtney Dunker sacrifice fly to make the score 1-1. Senior outfielder Hannah Borschel hit an RBI double

in the bottom of the sixth inning to give the Panthers a brief 2-1 lead. However, the Bulldogs answered in the top of the seventh to tie the game at 2-2. In the bottom of the seventh inning, Julia Hunter got the Panther offense started with a single up the middle. Daigh followed with a sacrifice bunt that moved Hunter into scoring position with one out. After a Laura Turner strikeout, Hunter advanced to third base on a wild pitch. The Bulldogs intentionally walked Hannah Borschel, who then stole second base to put Panthers on second and third with two outs and Gina Brown at the plate. Brown came through in the clutch, with a walk-off RBI single. “One through 21 on our roster, they’re all doing it, whether they’re starters or they have an important role coming off the bench,” said UNI head coach Ryan Jacobs. “They’re doing a great job in practice which is preparing us for the weekends and they’re just working really hard and taking a lot of pride in what they do.” UNI capped their three-game sweep of the Bulldogs with an 11-2 victory on Saturday afternoon. Fisher was sharp once again, holding Drake to just six hits and two runs while striking out four batters in a complete game victory. Fisher is now 13-1 on the year with a 1.67 ERA (earned run average). Offensively, the Panthers had no problem putting up runs. Daigh, Borschel and Turner each scored a run in the bottom of the first inning to give the Panthers a 3-0 lead. Daigh and Borschel each followed up with a run in the second inning to extend the UNI lead to 5-0 after two innings of play. The Panthers continued to score at will, holding a 9-2 lead entering the bottom of the fifth inning. At that time, they needed just one run to end the game. Melissa Walls reached base after drawing a walk and Hunter followed that up with a two-run home run to seal the UNI victory. UNI currently sits atop the Missouri Valley Conference standings with an unblemished 12-0 con-ference record. The Panthers currently hold a three-game lead over Creighton University and Southern Illinois University with 15 MVC games remaining on their schedule, including a three-game series against both CU and SIU. The Panthers will place their 15-game winning streak on the line Wednesday afternoon when they travel south to play a nonconference game against the No. 11-ranked University of Missouri Tigers.

TRACK AND FIELD

JAKE’S TAKE

The University of Northern Iowa track and field team traveled to Emporia State University in Emporia, Kan., to compete in the ESU relays

over the weekend. Senior Jenna Wexter finally took full control of the UNI pole vault record after having shared the record since the 2010 season. Wexter completed a jump of 12 feet, 9.5 inches on her first attempt to win the pole vault at the ESU relays and to finally top the old Panther school record by exactly 2 inches. The old school record held by Wexter and Kayleen Popp was 12 feet, 7.5 inches. UNI’s 400-meter runners

came ready for the relay and gave the Panthers the sweep in the event. Sophomore Ryan Newtoff put together an outstanding race in the 400-meter hurdles to win the event Saturday afternoon. His time of 54.1 seconds was enough for a season-best time in the event. On the women’s side, sophomore Emily Roberts received her first win as a Panther as she won the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 1 minute, 3.01 seconds.

Sophomore Adam McDonnell finished just shy of the UNI record in the jav-elin when his 210-foot, 9-inch throw placed second all-time. Thrower Traci Harms also placed herself towards the top of the UNI record books with her amazing effort over the weekend. Harms tied her best hammer throw from last sea-son at 186 feet, 5 inches, which marks second in the UNI record books. On the men’s side, current UNI record hold-

er Tanner Hurt won the ham-mer throw with a toss of 163 feet, 6 inches. Justin Romero continued his hot streak in the shot put by winning the event once again. One meet after set-ting the UNI school record, Romero completed a throw of 59 feet to easily top the other competitors. UNI will travel to Drake University to compete in the Jim Duncan Invitational next weekend.

Drawing the line on violence Over the past decade, the game of football has changed drastically. Compared to other sports, football has taken much criticism due to the vio-lence of the sport. Not only have these worries changed the rules of the National Football League, but changes have also been made at the college level as well. Many of these changes are shown on the field. Kickoffs have been moved up five yards, which is to help prevent kick-off returners from getting concussions. Quarterbacks and wide receivers have more protection when they are defenseless. These rule changes have been successful, with concussion rates drop-ping 12.5 percent from the 2010 season to the 2011 sea-son. However, due to the recent investigation of former New Orleans Saints defensive coor-dinator Greg Williams, many have wondered if the players and coaches are taking these changes seriously. For those of you who do not know about the NFL’s current investigation of Williams and the Saints, let me explain. In the investiga-tion, the NFL found that the Saints were running a bounty program. The coaches, mainly Williams, were paying ath-letes to intentionally injure opposing players. In a recent audio leak of a speech made by Williams, he was quoted numerous times as saying, “Kill the head and the body will die.” He also pointed out specific injuries, including concussions, on the opposing team, and told his players to attack those inju-ries. With concussion aware-ness rising, players and coach-es need to be informed of the negative effects of head injuries. According to a recent ESPN.com article, more than half of all NFL players will receive at least one concus-sion during their career, and one-fourth of those athletes receive three or more concus-sions. Those athletes receiv-ing three or more concussions

are three times more likely to become depressed, have mem-ory or concentration prob-lems and suffer from frequent headaches. Although many people believe that football has become a “soft” sport, these staggering numbers call for even more concussion aware-ness. While head injuries and other injuries are unavoidable due to the nature of the sport, there are still many options available to keep these injuries at a minimum. When a player suffers a concussion, they should have to go through stricter tests from independent doctors before they can return to action. This would help stop a player from playing too soon and being more susceptible to another concussion. The key to this action is an inde-pendent doctor. Team doctors have too much pressure to return a player to the field too soon so their team can win more games. Along with the strict rules that we’ve seen to the sports, there should be strict rules on players and coaches who are intentionally trying to hurt opposing players. Although many coaches of the Saints have been suspended for at least one year, a coach like Greg Williams should be banned from football for life. Sometimes people get too caught up in the life of sports, including myself. Die-hard fans want nothing more than to see their teams succeed, but sometimes we all need to stop and think about the big-
