Wil Groesbeck

1.
Claim- Visiting hours need to be longer and more often
Reason- It's to short of a time to do activities like study or watch a movie
They are afraid that people will do inappropriate things with the opposite sex in dorm rooms but if they were afraid of this happening, they would take away visiting hours all together because it doesn't take 2 hours to do that stuff.
Assumption- Visiting hours should be more frequent and longer
2.
Claim- The "christians" who burned the Quran to prostest the Muslim center aren't really Christians.
Reason- Christians by definition are followers of Christ, Christ example is one of love not of hate.
3 Nephi 11:29 "For verily, verily I say unto you, he that hath the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil, who is the father of contention, and he stirreth up the hearts of men to contend with anger, one with another."
Assumptions- There is a more rational and Chirst like way to prostest the Muslim center being built.
3.
Claim- Title 9 is unfair to guys.
Reasons- there is no women sport equivalent to football.
It hurts non big names sports for example, men's track and swimming.
Assumption- If you take football out of the mix and make schools have equal number of men and women scholarships this would cause greater equality in college sports than the current title 9 rule.

  1. Hey Wil, in your third idea are you suggesting that schools should eliminate their football programs to cause greater equality in athletics?

  2. Wil, although it would be nice to be able to watch movies and things with members of the opposite sex during visiting hours, the main prupose we have visiting hours is for home teaching. Our dorm rooms are basically just like our bedrooms at home. I don't know about you, but at my house I wasn't aloud to have guys in my bedroom by myself anyway.

  3. I agree with your second idea. It seems to be a good start for a paper. You could definitely use the scriptures and talks to support your claim.

  4. i think that taking football out of universities is a terrible idea...it is a huge money maker and brings in revenue spent on other sports....also visiting hours should be longer and/or more often....used for hometeaching, and hanging out with friends
