I SAID "NO" TO 69!
:::giggles:::
and by that i mean i voted "no" to the LGBTOUT's proposition of imposing a 69 cent levy on all undergrads. you may have heard me talk about this campaign - "69 -support our position" - but as it turns out, the LGBTOUT was not asking for donations, they were asking that every undergrad be charged 69 cents as part of their student fees. when i found this out, i thought "hm... i support the cause in principle... but something about this doesn't rub me the right way."
then i picked up a copy of the varsity, and there was an editorial on this issue. the young man who wrote it noted that 69 cents from 40 000 people equals $25 000, and it makes no sense that a club be given that much money directly, especially since all the other clubs have to raise money with bake sales, raffles, etc.
having figured out what was bothering me about it, today i voted "no" to the proposition. go democratic process!

i also picked up a copy of the gargoyle yesterday, and i loved it! apparently, the garg was banned for a while, after making statements that were "not very nice." but they are back, and they are goood.
branimir suggested that we transfer out of st. mike's college. apparently, SMC is the second most expensive college to attend, second only to trinity. we all know i would kill to go to trin, but i'd rather save a little bling. so i'm thinking i should transfer to university college. i can really see myself fitting in to UC. and i'd love to write for the garg.
