Unjustified attacks on Hoo Crew

By Brigitte Hoyer | February 21, 2003

As a second-year member of Hoo Crew, I would like to respond to the two columns published February 19 regarding our policies and actions at last Saturday's game (Alex Rosemblat's "Re-evaluationg Hoo Crew policy" and Kristen Brown's "Fixing U-Hall's camping flaws"). First of all, I would like to affirm that Hoo Crew's main goal is to provide the best possible camp-out situation for the most people, and we are always open to constructive criticism to make the experience even better.
