[NCLUG] Planning for Install Fest and Demo Day, Saturday November 3rd

[shaggydan]

So, lemme get this streight: We all go to the university, we pay our
tuition and our student fees, we're an official club of CSU yet we have to
pay $25 for one lousey internet port?

I'm not opposed to contributing money for it if necessary but I really
think it's bad form for the University not to simply give us what costs
them next to nothing for one afternoon.

I spent a year in Greely at UNC and we had a president at that Univerity
called Hank Brown. Hank should never have had anything to do with
education because he tried to streamline the school and turn it into a
profit-making organization. However, the student council fought him and
they've now got him backed into such a corner that he can't even lift his
finger without wide spread student approval.

Anybody ever wondered what the ASCSU does for us? We certainly pay a few
fees for it but so far I've not seen the benifit and I think they should
be out there protecting us from this sort of (admitedly small-scale)
reeming. I think it's time we started going to those meetings because
student council can do a LOT to make the school more accountable and make
them treat the students better.
