Yearbooks exclude non-trads

I am a little disappointed in the yearbook deal.

Not so much that it wasn’t put out in time, but upset about the fact that off-campus students have to pay the $8.50 per semester as well as on-campus students, yet only on-campus students and organizations are included in the yearbooks.

I am a full-time non-traditional off-campus student and I feel that if we have to pay the fees that we (off-campus, traditional and non-traditional students) should be included in the yearbook.

Not just us, but all that we are involved in.

Don’t make staff pay

I was talking with some of the staff members who work full-time for UTM. I was asking if they were coming to the Homecoming game, and some said no.

They like the sport of football and would love to support our team. So what’s the problem?

The problem is they have to pay full price to get into any UTM game. In my opinion, that is ridiculous.

After all the work that the faculty and staff do for UTM, from the Business Administration workers to the custodial workers, this university should show some loyalty to the people who help run this university.

SGA should look into making a bill that allows full-time staff to get free tickets to our games.

The university will gain more money by doing this than losing money. I am sure of this because this will bring more fans to the games, and concessions sales will increase.

So, UTM, use common sense, and do not let greed destroy your relationship with the staff who runs your university.

Show the staff some love, and you shall receive love in return.
