Homecoming should no be ridiculed

Sorry, but I can't let this one pass by. Who in the world let this idiot Killham run for Homecoming Queen. She is making a mockery of the University, students, faculty, and alumni.

The King and Queen are supposed to be representatives of the school. But, as an alumnus, if this is what is being allowed to represent what I put in a lot of work at and paid a lot of money to, then I want my degrees transferred to another school, cancel my football and basketball tickets, melt down my class ring, burn all of my SIU shirts and flags, cancel my alumni membership, and never support anything at this school again.

She may think this is funny, but I don't. There will be parents, family, friends, possible athletic recruits, and people just visiting to see if this is where they want there kids to go to school next year. And this is how SIUC let's those people see what kind of school this is?

If she wants to run, fine. But make her clean up her act and do it with respect like the rest of them or kick her out before the halftime embarrassment (and I don't mean the score).
