Issue date: 3/4/09 Section: Opinion

I am sure your editors are very busy with the recent stir over Texas A&M President Elsa A. Murano's supposed deceit. I have seen and read the fliers being distributed by members of this "Aggie Honor" movement. I have repeatedly heard these members speak of "holding this administration to the same standards they hold us." That's admirable. But what, exactly, have they got in mind? Is there some particular punitive measure? Some method to the madness - do any of them have any idea what they want to DO about this, besides simply crucify Murano? These are questions anyone with critical faculties should ask of such a potentially explosive issue, and questions I hope to see addressed in The Battalion. Without a more definite statement of purpose, they risk being represented as vengeful malcontents, not the informed and concerned students they claim to be. While no doubt well-intentioned, this movement has struck me as not a little short-sighted.
