Lawless lacks legitimacy in condemning Sex Faire

PSU in need of more security

My Opinion: Cassie Hepler

• Protests against class gift unfortunate and ignorant
  
• Society's ills everywhere, not at Hooters restaurant
  
• Lawless right to question funding of some events
  
• State College not entitled to percentage of earnings
  
• PSU's photo department's facilities broken, outdated
• Lawless' actions justified in objecting to activities
  
• 'Real Penn Staters' value what university has given
