Closing Statements- The End is Nigh.

~pseudomadonna Post #5! Hope you all enjoyed the show! ~

Closing statements:

It's about time this arts-fest comes to a close. Everyone just keeps agreeing with each other. Where is the anger? Where is the controversy?

Martin- solidarity, student voice, etc.

Robert- wants to be critical of the SFUO in a constructive way, thinks everyone here has good ideas- stop being so goddamn friendly you arts kid!

Amy- reiterating what she’s said before- but she has only repeated others’ ideas, so what has she really said? Anti- oppression trainings to represent students fully

Extra! Extra! Seamus Wolfe just walked in the Café. (12:38pm)

Cheevers- talks about general assemblies again, strong and resilient communities of students, less student debt, wants to look after the most disadvantaged (international student rights)

Danika- issues come up during elections from very different point of views, SFUO needs a lot of work in connecting with students, general assemblies will help, task-force on campus racism, thinks there has not been a lot of issues addressed today- hasn’t talked about international students and sustainability- wants to continue the work that she’s already been doing

Mel- wants to address Martin’s comment, does not think you’re either working for the students or the admin, thinks we need a combination relationship and foster a dialogue between the admin and the students, 24hr library time, more quiet study space (props to Café Alt), wants to continue to represent students on the board, tired of personal political agendas being addressed at the board

Scott- alright. Student’s interests are not coming first, he wants to change that. 24 hr library, not losing their scholarships after first year, better admin relationships (sounds like RPG’s platform…..official rep much?), we need to make sure that students don’t go into debt and make sure they have the best places to study, work with administration.

Alright folks, that's all. The pizza is here and there is an angry mad dash to get some free grub.
More people have conveniently showed up- perhaps they could smell the non-vegan pizza!?!
Stay tuned, for the Candidate Pie in the Face event is Tuesday Night at 1848 at 10pm.
Let's smear whipped cream all over everyone's faces!!!! :)
