The cuts??$9 million for law enforcement, $31.9 million in mental-health resources, 1,000 jobs—have sobered members of both political parties. Question 1 would only kick us while we’re down.

Floyd nor the University of Missouri Board of Curators could be reached for comment. The paper’s staff believes that the budget cuts??approved by the Student Council on Nov. 7 and later supported by the Board of Curators—were prompted by certain articles that the administration and the Student Council opposed, including a regular sex column.
