Tragedy at NIU

Wow. A video was released by the girlfriend of the shooter at Northern Illinois this week. She talks about the shooter and what he was like.

Working at the ASUO makes this issue seem a lot closer to home. Several members of the student government at NIU went to the Northwest Student Leadership Conference with us. The ASUO is putting together a banner that sends our condolences to those at NIU.

The sad thing about this is that our own administration is trying to use this event to make a case for UO to need tazers and eventually guns. It is unfortunate that the situation is potentially going to be exploited for self serving means.
