See, that’s the difference. I may be hired as private security. And if that happens, there will be less transients because they will be LYING ON A FLOOR DEAD FROM BEING BEATEN WITH A NIGHTSTICK!

By the way, stop putting you stupid-ass posters in our distribution boxes, Zach. We don’t spend hours slaving away in the office to put out a magazine so you can cover it up with your shitty, zeroxed manifestos.

Knight library is in the worst category for buildings on campus needing seismic reinforcement(who cares if you are 24/7 smart if the roof caves in)? The campus has accumulated 150 mill in maintenance backlog(and Mac court is not facing the seismic issues that Knight library is). That 150 does not even include the UO athletic departments accumulated deferred (someone do a goddamn story on this or I am going to keep smoking cigarettes)maintenance. Ospiggy lacks transparency? Yeah well PHIT LLC (the shady entity building nikeworldeugene annex athlete segregation lounge)and UO Foundation do too. 86ing ospiggy amounts to selective enforcement if the lack of transparency surrounding Johnson hall/UO foundation is ignored. If the admin wants to be secretive and wasteful why shouldn’t osppiggy burn duck bucks for global whining? As long as I am on a tirade how about ASUO forming a special “Roboduck bioethics visioning committee” Why ? The answer lies in Alberto’s “weird science”projects.

Something about this stomp out OSPIGG frenzy seems to have an aftermath that says if you cant beat em join em. Fighting text prices is like fighting prices at the gas pump. Turning out student voters is as productive as sending student leaders to one of Al gore’s global whining rock concerts. How can public policy ground truthing take place on campus soon. A weekly cigarette smoking appreciation hour is necessary. Place it at a highly offensive location. Start smoking if you must-I did to welcome all the athletes and media jerks.

Well, my first reaction is that he spelled Frohnmayer wrong. At least that does not look as goofy as the Weaklys story about “BEJING” this week. The sports arms race is winning in the war with the academics, it seems, and the results are increasingly apparent.

I like he attempts to move away from the “us vs. them” mentality, but in the same breath manages to reinforce it.

Sean, I wasn’t trying to use the blog as free advertising space. There are some people that probably want to read the whole letter, and since it was only sent to senate members, and the ODE just pulled quotes, I wanted to make it available to anyone that wanted it.

Way too long to read. I think we all have hopes for ASUO next year, and this looks great, but the OC shouldn’t be a plug for that.

The ASUO always goes after the OC! When will they stop?

7. Write the Review Recognition Committee (hereafter called RRC) into the constitution. The goal is to make this committee similar in structure to a budgetary committee, with the following members: ASUO Vice-President, Programs Coordinator, Student Senate Seat 11 (undeclared major), programs representative, and executive apointee. The two representative members would recieve stipends, and be required to attend all meetings. Further, we would like to write in more specific guidelines for both new and exsisting groups. We would like to make the process for becoming recognized more efficient and expedient. However, we also want to increase accountability, and part of the RRC’s job will be to review currently recognized groups. In short, we want to cut the red tape at both ends of the process, increasing recognition and accountability.

CJ - Be nervous about this, and stay on top of it. This is a way they will attempt to fuck over groups with unpopular opinions, so watch out.
