Undergraduate Student Government (USG) Pollock/Nittany Sen. Vicky Cangelosi announced her resignation and intention to withdraw at Tuesday's Senate meeting.

She said she no longer feels safe at the university and that she feels Penn State President Graham Spanier put her in danger by including a link to Penn State's online student directory in his written public statement about the pictures. As a result, she removed her address from the directory and later decided to withdraw from the university.

This is an example of the pressure and duress the College Republicans have been subjected to in the days since this story became a daily front-page continuing soap opera of liberal hate speech.

Vicky Cangelosi has every right to be fearful of her safety, as evidenced by the statement of the PSU campus cops and the antagonism that Graham Spanier has directed toward all conservative students at Penn State.

Offended conservatives are laughed at and ridiculed, as in the case of the death threat made by the black student in which the "Penn State police decided that Black Caucus members were voicing opinions but were not disorderly."

See previous story about the CR Halloween party at Web site owner makes apology at post #27 and in the text of the posted article.

If Vicky Cangelosi was to be subjected to an investigation of her character by the USG, then I think the same should happen to convicted bike thief Takeem Morgan. and the same for Graham Spanier. Let's have his character examined by an outside independent organiztion, and let's go back and look a little more closely at his tenure at the University of Nebraska, and even before that.

If it's fair to subject Vicky to such a humiliating experience, then why should Spanier not have to be investigated as well?

Grasping at straws to make Republicans appear racist? You be the judge.

When conservatives party in black face and KKK sheets, there's no defending them in the court of public opinion.

If Penn State's students hadn't learned this lesson before the party, then at least now they've received a modern education in reality.

How many minorities were at the party? If none, it looks even worse.

EVERY republican parent ought to withdraw their kids from the university and then they all ought to file a class action suit.

If you want to investigate Spanier, I suggest you start by seeing if he was in charge of the University of Nebraska when Lawrence Phillips played there.

Phillips, as I recall, seriously abused and injured his "girlfriend," maybe more than once, and was I believe arrested and convicted, but somehow still allowed to play in the final games of the season and the post-season bowl game.

The above is why I will never hold former Nebraska coach and now Republican Congressman Tom Osborne in the high regard so many others do. The Phillips situation is one of what I recall are many examples of players running amok without any consequences.

As to Spanier, if he was in charge at Nebraska at the time, he clearly sat around and did nothing to protect whatever may still exist of the good name of the University of Nebraska. He seems well on his way to ruining Penn State.

Matt Midles, who was appointed temporary parliamentarian for the meeting, told Cangelosi that as a gay student, he feels endangered every day.

"I'm glad that you've been given an insight to what the students who have been targeted feel every day," Midles said. "You're being treated the same way that I've been treated my whole life."

What a kangaroo court! One member of a self-identified politically correct "victim class" thinks its perfectly fair that another be unfairly victimized simply because of his alleged psychological hurt. These campus thought police are truly fascistic!

Why in the world would anyone send their child to a public university?
