TO BOO IS TABOO!
"Tear 'em up," "Boo-o," "Give 'er room" are familiar cries on the campus. But should they be?
Should we tear down our fellow-students, people of our race, when they try to do their best in the classroom, a game or a program?
When we aren't in the limelight, it's much easier for us to boo even though the person we're ridiculing may be trying to entertain us. Let's think of how the other person feels and how we'd like to be treated if we were in his place. Our appearance, manners and actions tell others what we really are.
