What part is unethical exactly?
And you do realize communism was far from ethical, correct? The political system isn't the unethical part, the people within it are.

You are making me look like a genius and I'm the one who made the grammatical error.
Hint: when you find yourself in a hole, quit digging.
Go back to 8th grade. Communism and capitalism aren't political systems. They are economic systems...
Why? Then they have to pay to staff it and hire people to run it. I also find it REALLY hard to believe they'd make much money doing that simply because people aren't just going to end up at Hilton in large numbers to eat.
OMG! I totally messed up! Like, totally crucify me!
The point still stands. I want a new Lincoln Navigator. Should a dealership be cool with me just trading off my Grand Prix for it? God I hope not.
*quick note to any ISU students reading this...DO NOT take econ 370. PITA.

It isn't a sports bar. It is just a nicer place than the old CourtCy'd club. How about the thing (can't remember what it is called) over in Scheman's that you have to be at a certain donation level to go to? If you aren't equally as upset about that can you explain why?
I think it's unethical for them rich folk to have them fancy parking spots up by the stadium, too. What about us po' folk who have to park out in the grass lots? Unethical, I tell you!
I just watched the video of Johnny taking the tour. It brought me back to how he loved talking and connecting with the common fan, and how he likes people, from all classes.
I wonder if he knows about the $12,500 rule to get in the place...with his name on it.

Here is the breakdown concerning taxpayer money...
The $15,000 statue is funded through a donation from Craig and Virginia Petermeier of Mingo. Craig’s a ’78 Cyclone grad.
Also donating was B.J. Baker and the Sukup Family, who provided their airplanes to transport Orr from his home in Florida.
Donations from Lyle and Becky Siefering of Oskaloosa helped fund the “Johnny’s†donor area at Hilton.

From the Des Moines Register.
Probably about the same as he feels about self-righteous message board posters putting words in his mouth.
I understand the donations = perks thing and have no problem with it. However, as I stated in anothe thread ". . .it is sad that a place that honors a man who would shake everyone's hand, say hi to you on the street, come to a party on the whim of an invite at a golf outing and treated everyone like you were a long lost friend is not open to everyone. . ." I just wish they would have done something that was much more visable/accessible to everyone to honor Coach Orr.
To me since the men's and women's basketball offices moved out to the new practice facility, they needed to fill this unused space and instead of more bathrooms or consessions or something else, this is what they came up with -- a way to honor Coach Orr without having to name the floor after him and the space is now used. Maybe this is a way to give the higher paying donors a perk without gutting Hilton to create "suites" around the parkay at Hilton -- just a thought.

I read that article this morning, too. I know it's private money. I stated Hilton was built with state funds.
