TO THE EDITOR:
I am very disappointed that the athletic director indicated that P.J. Hairston would play some games.
I am personally embarrassed that he is even considered for further membership on the team and the University.
What does he have to do for an encore in order to be dropped from the team permanently?
He followed up his previous charges with a 93-mph speeding ticket and 12 more parking ticket violations were found.
He obviously has no regard for the standard rules of conduct for citizens generally and athletic representatives of the University in particular. He is an embarrassment to the school, coaches and fans.
I would rather face the consequences of a few more basketball games lost then have him continue to represent the school. Secondly, it is of some concern if the players still on the team would accept him as a member in view of his past run-ins with the law.
That would be an endorsement of his behavior by his fellow teammates!
