This letter is aimed mainly at our so-called “suitcase students” and to the ungrateful Ms. Gretchyn Lenger.

Her column left me with the impression that she did not care to be part of this university. Maybe she thinks that there is a better time to be had at SIU. Surely, you can go down there and be stupid, tell silly jokes and dance around like an idiot.

Or maybe she’ll go down to Champaign and watch people dance on cars, throw up on other people and get insulted.

Well, what do we have? We can have whatever we want to have. And if it wasn’t for people like Ms. Lenger, maybe we could actually have something going here. In the meantime, I will attend every tailgating party, cheer at every Huskie football game and even go to dollar movies at the Student Center. Why? Because I am a true Huskie!

According to Ms. Lenger, I might be a dying breed. In that case, let me be. It’s time to separate the Huskies from the poodles.
