What a Ho.‘Universities should not employ faculty who stab students. Universities should not employ assistant football coaches who threaten students with handguns.’ Here speaks an Idaho newspaper columnist, first waxing nostalgic about a University of Idaho professor of art who, tanking up at a local bar a few years ago, got annoyed with a student and stabbed him. It took the university ages to get rid of the professor, during which he enjoyed leave with pay. The writer alludes next to “Assistant [Idaho] Football Coach Alundis Brice, who pulled a 9 mm handgun on a student during an argument in the parking lot of a local bar” a couple of years ago. It's that demon rum! Understanding this, the university decided not to punish this man at all. He kept his job. It’s not clear yet what’ll happen to one of the University of Idaho's current football players, who on Thursday night entered a home, “pulled a semiautomatic pistol and forced [a] man to give him about a thousand dollars from a safe. [He then] allegedly hit the man with the weapon and fled. [He] faces felony charges of armed robbery and aggravated battery.” If he was drunk when he did it, he'll probably be okay. Red Stater, a UD reader to whom she is indebted for all this news from the heartland, writes: “We have one of the worst football teams in D-IA, yet we're about to pour $70 million in renovations into the basketball/football arena.” |
