David and Lynne Sweet. The recent cuts to the athletic programs at the university are to say the least very disappointing. I feel very sorry for the athletes and coaches affected by these cuts as well as the administrators forced to deliver this terrible news. However, these teams and the university as a whole does not need the snide comments offered by our student body president. Suggesting that cutting athletics is an appropriate measure and that further cuts are needed is absurd.
Athletic teams bring our students together and are a great source of school pride.
Athletes are looked up to by the members of this community as well as the state, and make us all very proud. Athletes at UNH are not only representatives of our school, but also the symbol of it. As a result comments coming from a president who could not balance the rigors of athletics and academics at UNH are not only disrespectful and unwanted, but dead wrong. My concern with the review is the language and the manner at which the Gross expressed his opinion about the movie. To Gross this movie was clearly not about the constitutional right to freedom of speech, but about sex and perversion.
