Students lack class
As an ardent UCLA fan as well as one of many alumni, I have to
let you know how disappointing the fans in the student section have
become. Instead of showing intelligence and creativity, they are
shouting out boring profanity that belongs in the gutter. I
remember at one point going to UCLA-USC games and seeing this type
of lack of class by the Trojans … Unfortunately, the Bruins seem
to have decided that they can get lower than their rivals. Am I
proud to be a Bruin? Yes! Am I proud of the current student fans?
No!
I know that the students probably don’t think about it,
but they are role models for many children attending games with
their families. How about giving these future Bruins something to
really be proud of? Anyone can use four-letter words. Trojans can
use them (my apologies to a few of the good Trojans). UCLA has
always been the academic school of Los Angeles. I was recently at a
conference where USC claimed to be the academic school of L.A. How
about making sure that the people of Los Angeles (actually the
entire country) know that UCLA is number one in academics,
athletics and class!
