controversy with the track team

If you read the university newspaper this past friday, there was an article in there about the track team. It is kind of the talk around campus right now. For spring break we traveled to Las Vegas and San Diego. It was a great time and we all had fun. Upon returning, one athlete made the wrong decision of putting pictures on her "facebook" account that she should not have put on. So all in all, someone from the newspaper found them and decided to turn the athletes in and write a story about the team drinking on sprink break. I am not writing this because I am on the track team, I am just annoyed that they are pin pointing spring break drinking on the track team. You can't tell me that the other teams that traveled on team trips for break didn't drink alcohol at any point. And why does it have to be such a big deal to slander these athletes? They are representing the school and if they didn't harm anyone or give the school a bad name while they were out west, then why make a fuss over it. So now instead, the school is going to get all this publicity for underage drinking and a negative look. This might impact future students on their choice to attend Slippery Rock University. I think it was a poor choice to run this story. They could of easily run the story without all the names and slandering. I hope the "Rocket"realizes that they may have published a interesting story, but they ended up hurting not only the students but the university as a whole.
