post UNC Posts Persona Non Grata Website

April 27th, 2007

Filed under: UNC, Law Enforcement — Bob @ 7:00 am

The University of Northern Colorado Police Department has generated a list of 24 persons who are not welcome on campus, and posted the list on their website.

Comments made to The Mirror indicate that this is in response to the events at Virginia Tech.

Nate Haas, media relations manager, has acknowledged that the massacre that took place at Virginia Tech last week was a large factor in the administration’s decision to produce the Web page.

Unfortunately, no one seems to know what any of these people have done to achieve their persona non grata status. Sure, we all know about Mitch Cozad, and Brittany Bethel claims her only crime was a struggle with anorexia (glad they posted her picture, wouldn’t want an anorexic girl attacking someone).

Amazingly, the site itself states that

The individuals listed below were issued PNG orders this academic year. They aren’t necessarily dangerous, but they are unwelcome anywhere on campus.

If these people aren’t dangerous, they why do the Police care if they are on campus? How does a list of people who may or may not be dangerous published on a website make the campus safer?

post Eaton to invest in parks

April 20th, 2007

Filed under: Taxes, Economics — Bob @ 7:16 am

Eaton Mayor Keith McIntyre wants to funnel a percentage of sales tax receipts that exceed a businesses average to town parks.

The plan, beside being a little difficult to articulate clearly, does seem like a good one. Residents can support local merchants with the knowledge that some of the sales tax they pay will go directly to improving the town. If the Mayor gets approval from the Eaton Town Board and does a good job of communicating his new plan to Eaton residents, this could be a great move for the city.
