You are exactly right. I went during the day when many of my fraternity brothers (Phi Gama Delta) could pay their books, board and tuition from earnings on their summer jobs, (able bodied seaman, steel mill worker, long haul truck driver etc.)

It was and still is a good school for the sons and daughters of blue collar people who may be the first of their family to atten college.

I don't think they can do that any more (tuition alone is about $25k) but the quality is well worth it.

This round of violence is very distubing and disheartening. I do not think it will continue without a backlash, given the ethnic makeup of the city.

I’m really surprised we haven’t had another “Bernie Goetz” event given the number of cases of black-on-white apparently racialist crime we have seen in the last few years.
