UNFOUNDED CRITICISMS
(In response to William Boor’s Oct. 3 article, “Beavers still winless on the season.”)
I’m not sure why you think that it is OK to criticize one of the hardest-working groups of students at ASU. The time and dedication that the members of the SDMB put into their work is amazing. I find your lack of support for your peers something totally unprofessional.
I encourage you to attend one of their practices, not only their 2 hour class block on MWF, but also their 2 hour rehearsal on Game Day, and being there for the team prior to their arrival to the Stadium.
The least you could do is apologize to not only the whole band, but also all the staff the works so hard to make sure that the University has this fantastic band.

PLAY NICE, PLEASE
(In response to David Colthart’s Sept. 30 column, “Conscience of a carnivore.”)
We get caught up in the extremes. It’s also worth thinking about how healthy an animal that has been so poorly nourished and treated can be for us. I would much rather eat a cow that was given the opportunity for adequate exercise, proper food (meaning, food that they can actually digest, which is not the case for factory farm cows) and sure, got to be pretty happy up until slaughter day, than I would a cow who had to stand up to its knees in its own feces, eating food that made it sick, pumped up with antibiotics.
I think as consumers we need to demand transparency when it comes to what we’re eating. If it’s factory farmed, it should say so. None of this picture-of-a-pasture when that animal didn’t spend a single day around grass.
