Some of the Truman students are decent young people who are not out to cause problems or disrespect the community and some come to Kirksville with a sense of entitlement that makes many locals wish they'd go back to where they came from. The thing I hear the most is that most of the townspeople don't think the Truman students should be able to vote on issues that will not affect them once they are out of college because they will go back to St. Louis or Chicago or wherever home is. I agree with that. If they cannot call Kirksville their permanent residence then I don't think they should be able to vote here. Just does not seem right.

I enjoy the fact the first person to post on this article used the wrong form of THERE (Should be "their"), said people lived in a place year AROUND and even misspelled COLLEGE.

HOW ABOUT A SKYWALK LIKE OTHER CITIES HAVE FOR THE STUDENTS,THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW WHAT A CAR IS, AND JUST WALK ACCROSS THE STREET ANYWHERE THEY WANT, THEN LOOK AT YA WHEN YA HONK TO KEEP FROM HITTING THEM, THEIR LIKE CATTLE,SO BUILD THEM A FENCED IN WAKE WAY OVER THE ROAD, AND LET THE TAX PAYER DRIVE WITHOUT WORRING ABOUT A 25 YEAR OLD CROSSING THE ROAD LIKE A SIX YEAR OLD WOULD,,,,,THIS CITY AND THERE COLLAGES,,,,,,THATS ALL THEY THINK ABOUT,,,,,,,,ABOUT TIME THEY TAKE A LITTLE TIME FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE YEAR AROUND AND HAVE BEEN HERE FOR YEARS,,,

You students are always complaining about nothing to do in this town. The whole ungrateful lot of you need to put down your nintendo, take the ipod out of your ears and attend this event. The fine citizens of Kirksville are attempting to welcome you the best way they know how. Suspend your disdain for the Kirkatoids and come out for some real fun old fashioned style.
