The email of resignation was chock-full of funny stuff, but Axelrod skipped out before I got a copy… I’m emailing him to see if we can get a copy on the blog. Frankly, it was the reasonable, considered response of a reasonable person dragged into the ASUO madhouse.

Also, the process for appointing students to the Ad Hoc Committee will be determined next week, and I encourage people with some free time and a commitment to fairness and responsibility to apply for positions. This is the critical issue on the ASUO agenda this year, and it behooves us to ensure a just and equitable outcome.

Apparently, the newest nominee for Con Court has stepped down, after being “turned off by what he saw at the Senate meeting.”

Oops. This is what happens when you accidentally nominate someone who is intelligent.

Introduced by Sen. McKenzie with the words “let’s not discuss this, I’m just going to read it and then we’re going to pass it,” Senate Bill 9 would have instituted a business casual dress code for Senators. He then went on to list the approved fabrics and styles for clothes fitting the definition of business casual.

There’s nothing about these two sentences that isn’t funny.

Goals have been set based on the points that the money should be spent on a project, the project should have a “positive, lasting impact,” and it should benefit the majority of students.

Christ. That can be twisted to literally apply to anything. This money should either be refunded to past students, used to pay down next term’s fee for current students, or put into an endowment whose interest is used to reduce the fee for future students. If none of these options are legally viable (which I strongly doubt is the case,) then it should, as Tim suggested, be converted into cash and burned in the EMU Amphitheater as a monument to the wastefulness of student government. I’m not even joking– just burn it.

In the great nanny-state tradition, the EMU board is considering banning trans-fat from the EMU

Sounds like the EMU Board. I’m hoping there’s a bit of confusion and the LGBTQA ends up accidentally protesting this.

Incidentally, our own gambling columnist, Dustin Stockton takes the ultimate gamble today, as his baby daughter is being born as we speak. Congrats Dustin, just please make “Doyle” her middle name, not her first.
