I can't fathom how anybody could use the kind of logic PFC uses to set budgets and not have an agenda -- some sort of ulterior justification for using such ridiculous reasoning as counting how many DAILY papers are left over in a few boxes over the course of TWO DAYS and determining from that number how many students read said paper ALL YEAR. It was Quiroz, I think, who used that argument, and he's a Math major for Christ's sake. You can't tell me a Math major could seriously accept that kind of formula without some abject motive. I hear the math department at UO is quite good. The good news is ASUO isn't nearly as clever and powerful as it contends to be. I'm confident common sense and, perhaps even the free press, will prevail in the end.

There's no ASUO grudge against the free press (unless it's something PFC decided on their own.) If there was some grudge going on, we could've evicted you people by now, too. No, trust me, there's no plan here. That's really the best part of the Emerald article: seeing a conspiracy where there is, in fact... Well. You speculate. It's possible some of my erstwhile colleagues reading, and I'd prefer not to offend anyone. There’s no conspiracy.

This is so silly. I escaped from Wyoming to get away from closed-minded totalitarian folk. Maybe next year Philly will be a sane middle ground. Peace, Chris Yarg. This is so silly.
