Sun Mar 01, 2009 15:19 (UTC -5)To no one’s surprise, the Unite Party basically swept the Student Government elections, winning the executive and treasurer tickets as well as 42 Student Senate seats. The Progress Party picked up 8 seats, while the Orange and Blue Party won none.
Also, 61% of students voted to ban SG funding for facilities that require biometric data for entry. Recently, the main student gym announced plans to install hand scanners at the entrance because they thought that showing your student ID card to an attendant would be too slow and inexpensive. In the fall elections, something like 84% of students expressed their disapproval of this incredible waste of money and arguable invasion of privacy in a non-binding referendum. This semester’s initiative is binding.
The turnout was 19%, which I think is considered high. Kind of a shame, if you ask me.
Um, what else? Spring break is in a week. Yay. Um, that’s it, I guess. Talk amongst yourselves.
Tupper’s self-referential formula is a certain formula whose graph looks like the formula itself. The Wikipedia article makes the rationale sound simple, but I still think it’s pretty wacky.

who used to say “talk amongst yourselves” quite a lot? it’s driving me crazy.

Um, I don’t know. It’s a common phrase.

It’s a common phrase that I remember Marybelle Vazquez saying more than once. Tupper has too much free time. It’s sick. In the bad way.
