Letter to the Editor
PSU athletes receive preferential treatment

Citing the recent news that the Penn State police will not charge anyone involved in the fight at the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. party at the Greenberg Ice Pavilion, I am led to believe that once again, I am a substandard student. If I had been in a fight I would have surely been charged, convicted and thrown out of school. However, when athletes are involved in illegal activity, they go free.

Last time it was a rape case, in which the athletic office probably offered free tickets to the jurors and the athlete went free. This time the athletics office got in early and prevented any charges. I see where my tuition goes to: pay-offs for when athletes cause trouble.
