In response to the couple who starved their son, what
action do you feel should be taken?
"I believe that they
should receive the
death penalty. They
need to do the same
to them as they did
to him. There is
not one thing nice
that can be said
about them."
Bart Bradberry
senior
business major
"Jay and Linda Hill
should be charged
with 1st degree
murder; they are
both equally
guilty."
Cheryl Eubanks
senior
general business
major
"I think they should
be charged with
attempted murder
or manslaughter.
But as we all know
of the legal system,
they will probably
be out in three
months."
Tommy Lucia
senior
government/
speech
communications
major
"I feel that they
should be charged
with capital
murder. I believe
that if I chained
someone up, my
intention would be
to kill."
Lance Moore
senior
English
communications
major
"I think they should
be charged with
capital murder.
They were fully
aware of the
consequences of
their actions.".
Karrie Kuhn-
Wilhoit
junior
English major
"I feel that they
should be charged
with capital •
murder.
They claimed it was
punishment and
they did not intend
to kill him; well,
that's what
starvation does."

senior
CIS major

Opera . from page 1
"Mozart-really had a wonderful
sense of humor and it comes out in
his operas," said Dr. Kavanaugh.
"Once audiences get past his name,
they usually find themselves laugh-
ing along with him."
"Don Giovanni" is Mozart's in-
terpretation of Don Juan in which
the title character takes such delight
in the conquests of young women
that he catalogues them by country.
"Cosi fan Tutti" is a comedy in
which two young engaged couples
wrestle with the challenge of who
can remain faithful. After disguising
themselves to test each other's love,
they find that they may not have
been engaged to Mr. or Ms. Right
after all.
"The Medium" is a contemporary
opera which will be presented in its
entirety. The setting is Europe in
the 1930s. Madame Flora and her
daughter Monica specialize in telling
the future, but when a hint of mys-
tery enters their lives, the result is
tragic.
Scheduled for 7:30 p.m. perfor-
mances, "An Evening of Opera" will
be presented in the Theater of the
Fine Arts Center and ticket informa-
tion is available by calling the
Central Ticket Office at 817-968-
9634 weekdays.
FA from page 2
my file was located.
Moving on, I have observed
various students experiencing simi-
lar things. For example, while J was
at FA the other day, waiting because
again my file could not be located, I
watched two students come in. One
student fiad a lost file and ilie other
had turned in something that could
not be found. Sound 'familiar?
Others I have talked to have also
been through this hassle. A friend
had his file and forms lost What is
going on here? Do they need more
people to file, or is it that the workers
need to be more experienced at filing
documents and not their nails?
Wouldn't it be possible to pay for
more workers with the interest they
make by putting all students' second
semester cuts Of their loans in the
bank so TSU can draw the interest?
When entering the FA office,
many times there are people to ask
you, "Can I help you?" If you've
been dealing with FA for a while you
simply want to say, "No, you proba-
bly can't." There seems to be a total
lack of knowledge about what is
going on in this office. Maybe stu-
dent workers aren't given a large and
detailed enough orientation to the
world of financial aid. But let me
state, it is not just the student work-
ers.
Often in FA, one feels he or she
is getting the run-around, "Come
back in 3 weeks." "Come back in 2
days." I realize that these things are
out of their control but please, have
they no sense of how long things
take?
Another problem is that they
seem to enjoy telling students things
in stages. "Do this." Then you go
back to FA and they say, "Okay, now
you need to do this." Why can't they
tell you everything at once that you
need to do so you can just do it! If
they think we are not bright ffflpugh
to handle the multitude off taps in-
volved with FA, why not prjj]t up
and distribute copies of what all is
required for the specific loans and
aid available and give these out ac-
cordingly without students having to
ask!
Finally, to give a personal ex-
ample of the "run-around," I had all
of my paperwork done and was
waiting for my loan to be mailed off.
I received a message on my answer-
ing machine that I needed to call the
FA office and tell them my bank's
lender number and address. For some
reason, by the grace of God, I stopped
by the office to see exactly what was
needed I discovered my bank was
not on the system TSU uses for loans
and that although it does GSL's, they
wouldn't allow me to use it Luckily
I stopped by or I would have, called,
given the lender number and address
lo some$tfe^WHo' didn't' know better,
a/id ih® Would have waited for weeks
for the' error to be discovcrtid*.
I could go on and on. This is not
the extent of mine or others' experi-
ences, but here I will draw this to a
close. My only hope is that someone
will see this and attempt some type
of reform. Students at TSU deserve
quality service for the money we pay
- if we can ever get it
