Power's analogy to CA's Prop 187 is reprehensible to say the least...whether one believes 187 is legal, moral, etc (let us NOT get into that) or racist... it is clearly a false analogy to compare it to the hockey situation in Minn. If Minnesota wants to pursue an all-Minn policy, fine, that leaves more recruits for RPI to pursue! But let's not get snotty about it. I hope some of the Minnesotans on the list send him this message.... does the Minnesota football team have any Californians on it? Does USC, for example, have out of staters on their baseball team? YES! Clearly, some of the best college baseball teams in the land are in CA, but having students from all over the country is a plus that extends beyond the diamond... I think that is something to consider. It is nice to have good athletic teams, but Universities exist for a purpose way beyond that. Just a faculty viewpoint, 3 cents worth, or less. Tony Buffa
