    This is a lot less shocking when one considers it was over the course of 10 years… -_-

    It seems like the only idiot is you Michael.
    Instead of being a problem, be a solution.

    “Michael do you have a personal vendetta against the Greeks or something?”
    No. The Greeks are their own worst enemies.

    “This article doesnt even have anything to do with Greeks.”
    I was referring to the comments on the other articles, champ.

    “If you don’t want Rogers as president then go proactively do something about it instead of immaturely name calling.”

    Oh, right. My bad. I’ll just ring up the Board of Regents right now and tell them to fire him. Silly me for not thinking of that before.

    Michael do you have a personal vendetta against the Greeks or something? This article doesnt even have anything to do with Greeks. If you don’t want Rogers as president then go proactively do something about it instead of immaturely name calling. You have every right to call him whatever you want but no one will take you seriously if all you contribute is “slime ball” or “idiots”.

    Huh? How exactly am I the whiner? I’m not the one complaining about how the Wichitan is supposedly “smearing” Rogers and the Greeks, being too “negative,” being “biased,” etc., etc., etc. Talk abot the pot calling the kettle black! Idiots.

    Obviously the Wichitan touched a nerve. If you didn’t have anything to be ashamed about, you wouldn’t be so freakin’ defensive. The fact that you’re all flipping out like this makes it clear that you’re embarrassed–and rightfully so. MSU has a lot to be embarrassed about. Kudos to the Wichitan for shining a light on this crap. Daylight is the best disinfectant.

    Michael-
    We all know you work for the Wichitan apparently because all you do is defend all of there nonsense. Instead of crying about how your precious paper (which is now sitting at the bottom of my bird cage) you should made fix the problem that The Wichitan thrives on conducting terrible and unethical articles. I would hope that the Mass Comm dept would be teaching the staff better morals then that. It only takes one mistake for a reporter before they get a bad reputation as well as get sued for slander.

    Michael, if you’re so sure there’s something wrong going on, why don’t you DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT OTHER THAN WHINE? Good grief, and you call us idiots. At least we’re not all cowards.

    I agree with Nancy and Bob, almost every single article coming from the Wichitan is negative. I can guarantee that is not what is taught in the Mass Comm dept. otherwise I would reccomend cutting the entire mass comm dept including the Wichitan. The money we save doing that we can spend on more flowers. As far as “Michael” goes, you seem to hate being at this school since your such a Debby Downer- why dont you transfer?

    How does this amount compare to such purchases from other universities? Exactly what amount of purchase requires competitive bidding? Are there other circumstances, such as the timeliness and availability of services that would prevent bidding, as allowed in the law? What kind of displays are we talking about? A centerpiece? Multiple displays? Have you checked the cost of flowers at a real florist (not the grocery store) lately? All of these questions must be answered to provide the proper perspective. No matter what you think of Bob, I agree that there seems to be more to the purpose of the way this story is written than to provide objective information, and of course Michael is no use at all. Are we trying to educate our students to be real journalists, or just good enough to flip burgers? Somebody really needs to look into the mission of the Wichitan, and determine if they are being met by this kind of “reporting”. I don’t see how it serves anyone’s purpose.

    @”Bob”

    How’s it going Julie Gaynor–er, I mean, Bob? Seriously, who are you kidding? That response reeks of Public Information & Marketing propaganda. Jesse Rogers is a corrupt, sleazy old slimeball and it’s time for him to retire! Everyone knows it.

    What a very poorly researched article, written solely to attempt to smear the President. Why does this “newspaper” exist again???

    For clarification’s sake: what are the typical rates that florists charge and how do those compare to what Pitzer charges?

    “Otherwise, such spending “will be considered personal expenditures and become the responsibility of the person who incurred the expenditure.” In this case, that would be Rogers.” Are y’all trying to say that Rogers owes the MSU Foundation $84,000? Or that paperwork was done poorly and that the donor’s wishes were not properly recorded?
