Re: X Days until 2017 Leatherneck Football

Was Simpkins always called Simpkins though? I'd have to go look it up, but someone else might know off the top of their head. Given what was written, was Simpkins originally called Morgan Hall?

Re: X Days until 2017 Leatherneck Football

I mistakenly also put this in the Roster Updates thread. Too much sleep in my ideas I guess. The year 19 35 was smack-dab in the middle of the Great Depression. College enrollments were down as just putting food on the table was a struggle for many families. On the Western campus, President Morgan ...

Re: Updates to faculty layoff plan and other stuff

Seal stated this AM that the passage of this budget is really just a stopgap measure and I would totally agree. ST, I think your proposed "weighted" tax would be a very fair way to handle the pension problem and the basic state tax problem in general! I think Cullerton gets it and I think...

Re: X Days until 2017 Leatherneck Football

It's Triple T (Throwback Thursday Trivia) time once again. This one is a bit tricky, not sure there is a definitive right or wrong answer here. You get to play Woodward and/or Bernstein for the day. Your job is to uncover the truth and correct the following statement: On the Western Illinois State ...

Re: Updates to faculty layoff plan and other stuff

Sadly, this budget does NOTHING to solve Illinois' financial problems. The state has a quarter trillion (yes, trillion with a T) dollar pension liability, and an additional 60 billion dollar retiree health insurance liability. Retirees will continue to receive their annual raises, and will not pay ...

Re: Fargo Face-off!

This is pretty much sucking. I realize there are double-headers, but am personally not liking this one game right after another. At least in a double header both teams are fairly equal on playing time/rest time.
