The Humbolt State Lumberjacks came to town Feb. 12 with an impressive 19-3 overall record, earning them a rank of third in the NCAA West Regional Poll.  The Nanooks, with a record of 13-6 and ranked sixth in the Poll, certainly had their work cut out for them.

Letter to the Editor

I recently received 1733 postcards from you student government associations, asking me to "keep my promise" to fund the University with a five percent increase. I have been a steadfast supporter of the University. Regarding my campaign statements, it is important to know the facts. My wife, Nancy, delivered a speech to the University's Board of Regents on October 16, 2002. In that speech, she stated that it was my intention to "help the University plan for future programs by fighting for stable increases of five percent per year until we put a sufficient endowment in place to meet long-term needs." That commitment has been referenced frequently by University supporters. Often overlooked, however, is the qualifying statement that followed the five percent commitment: "This will be a difficult fight and it cannot be guaranteed."
