Dear Clarion,
I was disappointed to see that in your report that "Two Deaths Shock DU" that you failed to mention someone else who passed away.
In late January, Gabe Miller, friend and colleague, died from undisclosed causes.
I am not sure if this was mentioned in your paper at all as I recently became a subsciber, but I wanted to mention this. Gabe Miller was to graduate in August from the Graduate School of Social Work.
He was interested in homeless causes and prison reform. He will be greatly missed.
Again, I think it is wonderful for you to highlight the lives of these two wonderful ladies. It is obvious they will be missed. I wanted to mention this as Gabe will be missed too.
Thank you.

Dear Clarion,
I recently read an article in the Clarion discussing the apathy of students at school sports functions, specifically the Pioneer hockey games. Although I agree to a certain degree that overall school spirit at DU falls short of other colleges in America, there are students who take pride and get involved in supporting our teams.
For those of you who do go to games, I'm that guy that has the cowbell in the student section. For weeks I've brought it to games along with a group of friends who all enjoy supporting our hockey team.
Although I do agree partly with an article read in the earlier edition of the Clarion stating that student support of school sports, there are students who want and DO wholeheartedly support the Pioneers.
This past weekend, with the help of an inebriated student as well as a helpful and colorfully polite usher, I was informed that outside noisemakers of any kind are not welcomed at Magness Arena.
It is presumed what Magness management does not want are noisemakers like air horns that would bring discomfort to anyone sitting around them. Arena rules as well as NCAA regulations were also cited as reasons a cowbell cannot be used. Watch hockMichigan to Boston University to even Colorado College hockey games, I can assure you that the crowd noise at Magness is mild in comparison.
