First Post

Hey guys,

It's coming to be that time at Mac where we all understand just how little the MSU has done for us in the past 8 months and everyone and their dogs will be vying for the next presidency. I decided to put up this blog so that information can be disseminated to the students through a different way than The Sil.

I will blog regularly, but do not have any set schedule. Some days will have a lot of posts, some days will not.

Let's start this all off at the top of the heap. President Vishal Tiwari. The former VP Education had an ambitious, albeit lackluster presidential platform. Amongst these things included increased communication, increased support for student services, etc.

At this point in time, 7 months into his term, Vishal seems to have all but forgotten his platform. His promises of bi-weekly talk back forums have completely failed, and he seems very pleased with his "Dish it to Vish" debacle.

Last time I saw Vishal in his green kermit hat (As advertised in the Silhouette) he and his VP Finance Andrew Caterine seemed to be in the student centre looking eager to talk.... to one another.

Please Vishal. You're not fooling anyone. You're as much a lame-duck president as your predecessor. You just are much friendlier than him.

Next, what happened to increased bus service? Or how about letting us know about what happens at SRA meetings?

The MSU is ridiculous and they clamor on about student apathy. Last week's Sil had an article that said it best. We don't care because you give us nothing to care about. I do not look forward to Presidentials when the same troop of MSU misfits descends upon us lowly folk with stories of how they are different or an outsider simply because they haven't been in the SRA as long as their opponent.

We need some real change.
