or The DoJ Endorses Football at Marian College

Based on the seminar I attended this evening in the Library Auditorium, I believe the College has sufficient reasoning to go through with the Football Initiative that it currently being scrutinized. As a student, I had received the mistaken impression that this was "football for the sake of raising the vibrancy of student life on campus." I can't say how relieved I was to hear President Elsener say that the Initiative is merely a means to several, larger ends, including improving our academic profile. This was the only major concern or problem I had with the idea from the beginning. The idea of putting out several million dollars for a new stadium and several hundred thousand dollars in opening/operating expenses within the first few years when we have sinks that don't even work in our labs and cracks in our walls large enough to put our fingers in scared me. The President was very emphatic in stressing the amount of money that we would finally start making, once the initial expenses were past. I am too hesitant to quote any exact numbers for fear of misrepresenting the President, but based on the numbers given during that meeting (and frankly, the lack of any other plan that comes even close to raising as much money for the school for the lowest initial cost possible), the Department of Josh gives Marian College's Football Initiative the official green light.
