It's disappointing when Tommy Bruce seems to jump in front of a microphone at every available opportunity so that he can shout a curse word and then that is what sit onto the 6 o'clock news. Even more disappointing is how student government seems to have entirely missed the point of these budget cuts: we don't have money to waste anymore.
After heated debate and a temporarily dead-locked vote, ASUA approved $980 to spend on 'safety cards', which would have contact information that students could use in case they run into trouble while boozing and dancing it up south of the border this Spring Break.

Contrary to the members who supported this initiative, we would argue that these cards have the potential to create a sense of false hope and safety for students who are going to Mexico despite State department and U of A administrations' warnings.

Wouldn't it be more prudent for ASUA to send an e-mail to every student on campus with the warning and then the phone numbers that would have been on the card? If you choose to travel anyway, you can print the numbers out and shove them in your wallet! Total price: $0.00
Get your act together, ASUA. We're trying to save our school.
