UNIVERSITY PRESS October 20,1989* *4
Alumnus cancels membership owing to recent raises
Editor,
I am hereby canceling my
membership in the Lamar Universi-
ty Alumni Association in protest of
the regents’ repeated mishandling of
university funds.
I first thought of doing so a few
years ago when library funds ended
■up being spent to redecorate
Chancellor McLaughlin’s new home.
The recent, wildly disproportionate
pay raise between the administra-
tion and the faculty and staff is the
last straw.
I am also ashamed of Lamar s
students. Why are they being so
passive about this matter? The
students surely must realize that
they are the ones who will ultimately
suffer from the regents’ greed.
Lamar is quickly earning a tar-
nished reputation that speaks of its
faculty being spat upon regularly.
Low morale is spreading fast, forc-
ing competent professors to move
on. Students will therefore be spen-
ding their learning hours with less
competent ones.

Letters to the Editor
A few years ago, when George
McLaughlin and his wife, Olive Ann,
moved into the house generously
provided for them by Lamar, Olive
Ann publicly complained that this
new house was “a step down from
what they were accustomed to.”
Maybe now that her hubby got such
a fat pay raise, they can save a few
months’ salary, buy a new place
(cash down), and get the hell out.

Editor,
I would like to respond to the letter
that was written to the UP concern-
ing the LU band and homecoming.
I would also like to mention that I
am neither a band participant, nor a
music major. In my opinion, the let-
ter that was printed on Oct. 6,1989,
was unfair and inconsiderate to
everyone involved with the band and

those who support the football pro-
gram.
The reason I say this is because I
have seen how hard the band prac-
tices to perform at games and other
affiliated programs. They are very
much a part of this institution and
their fraternities are just as impor-
tant as any other Greek organization
thet may grace Lamar with its
presence.
The band members had every
reason imaginable to be perturbed
with the bureaucratic situation
which initiated the whole incident.
By vocalizing their legitimate argu-
ment, they were exercising their
First Amendment right, which
allows freedom of (unharmful)
speech.
And as far as being “cry babies,”
babies respond under the pain and
pleasure principle; unlike the band,
who responded cognizantly to in-
justice. The ANONYMOUS author
who stated that homecoming “isn’t
that important anyway” was being
very unfair.
What is significant to one in-
dividual may not be so to others.
Homogeneous interests are what
motivates the masses. Could one im-
agine what the world would be like if
there was a total diversity of in-
terests? A PANDEMONIUM.
S.M. Fuentes
Beaumont senior
Editor’s note: Hie writer Is referr-
ing in her letter not to another letter
but to an editorial headlined “Band
protest of procedure really trivial.”
The editorial stated that band
members were engaged in “cry-
baby antics,” not that they were
“crybabies ” and homecoming is
“not that big a deal.” We did not say
it was not important. The nmdgnpH
editorials in the far left two colnmns
of the “Fair Comment” page are the
i-amnr University.
Editor,
With reference to the article which
recently appeared in the University
Press, some of the band members
would like to offer the following com-
ments.
The Lamar Band members work
hard, daily, to ensure that our
school’s homecoming is a more
pleasurable experience for everyone
who attends. It has been said that
the band protest of procedures used
in the election of Homecoming king
and queen is trivial. Whose rights
have been violated? This protest by
the band members is anything but
trivial. We are all aware that it is
“not the end of the world” but why
should the band work hard every
day to perfect an outstanding
homecoming show for a student
The University Press, in their Oct.
6 edition, printed phrases describing
Lamar band members as “cry
babies” and “high school kids,” but
many feel that our protest is
anything but immature and also that
this protest is justified.
On the contrary, to know yoqr
rights and to seek to defend them
seems the adult and responsible ae»
tion to take.
In summary, in the face of the con-
troversy, when asked, ‘‘Who
cares?” We simply say “US.”

Alvin A. Jackson has taught nationally and internationally through
courses and seminars for more than 12 years in the aerospace
industry. Jackson felt that the ability to remember photographically
