City Council shouldn’t be involved

July 24, 2006

Daily Cal article about the City Council needing to stay out of the ASUC drama.  It’s on the right track regarding the whole ordeal.  My head hurts, so I’m going to stop writing, but this article explains itself, so I think it’s ok that I leave you all to fend for yourselves on this one.

And props to the Daily Cal on updating the site today!!! 

Telegraph

Telegraph needs to put in some major time to think about opening something that students actually want or need.  In recent conversation, a friend suggested a movie theater.  Personally, I think that would be one the best additions to Telegraph.  Movie theaters are so far away from campus that it makes it impossible to just be spontaneaous and go see the newest flick.

I think another thing to consider would be a comedy club.  A real legit one that has known funny people appearing.  Also, it needs to be 18 and over, not 21 and over.  Limiting the age to 21 definately hurts business and much needed traffic.  

Also, a chain drugstore would be a nice addition as well. 

But one thing is for sure, Telegraph, like People’s Park has become what it is now because of decades of ignoring issues that are now so big, it’s hard to decide how to handle them. 

People’s Park

I’ll be completely honest, I know zip about the politics of People’s Park.  There’s a letter to the editor in the Daily Cal about it.  I don’t know how accurate the facts are, but the argument seems to make enough sense. 

I just don’t understand why People’s Park has to be such a drawn out process.  The first thing that needs to happen is stopping all the drugs and violence.  Until that happens, I don’t see what else can be done.

Which is worse- cheating and lying about it or enforcing the rules??

Waking up hungover to the Daily Cal this morning just makes my head hurt way more than it already does. 

Anyways, in a letter to the editor, Mickey Klein claims that SA foes are threatening democracy.  I’m all for people having different views and allowing for open debate about them.  However, this whole "I have a friend in SA and they’re right and everyone else it just out to get them because they’re jealous, so NAH!" thing is getting really old.  I realize you guys are not going to see the reality of the situation because you believe that your friends have been wronged.  But for the love of God, you got nuttin other than your whole "SA is right because I say so!" defense.  I gotta give it to you guys though, you’re loyalty to friends is commendable.
