As spring continues to thaw out, insects can be seen coming coming out of their lethargy and sluggishly moving around like this bee found on a window in the Student Union Building. Jake Barber/Argonaut

Yeah, that’s no bee. I was gonna say yellow jacket. When are they gonna make a disaster movie with two foot long yellow jackets?

That editor’s note should have been at the top of the story, Arg kids. Other than that, Curtis’s piece is well done and some good food for thought.
It would have been interesting to also get the white STUDENT perspective of the black students on campus, rather than just a university official — you are, after all, a student newspaper – but that’s a minor issue. Also, what measures does the school take to try to recruit non-athlete black students and other minorities? How do they compare to other schools? Has there been any examination, discussion or study of those recruiting efforts either internally or externally?
A good discussion to continue on the campus.
