Student newspaper gets into the act of questioning student support.

Student apathy was a long time in the making and lifestyle changes driven by technology have changed society forever. I spoke to a student not long ago, and he said free time is spent playing videogames, downloading music, surfing the web, chatting online or other related things. It's amazing but these things are a much bigger draw than live entertainment.

I agree about all the other distractions and entertainment these days, and I have resigned myself that we will not get 2,000 students at a game like we used to in my day. But my concern is that if we have had 500-800 students at some games, I assume they are Hoops fans. And if they did not show at Providence because we lost a few games, then that is a sad commentary on school support.
