...about $30,000.The purpose of this column, however, is not to simply list these wasteful expenditures as so many have done before. Hallow calls for greater accountability and student input after each screw-up have done nothing, save encourage the Council to futilely try to redeem itself only to fail once again.

Last year, we left Cassie [Lawton, the women’s hockey sports information director] at the rink so we had to drive back. Then we ran into snowstorm and we didn’t get home until 3:30 a.m. We almost got in an accident when we hit a deer. Our assistant coach, who is a vegetarian, was sitting in the front seat...
