Senate Agenda if I had more Time

Well, the following is the legislation I hope to pursue by the end of the year. Now I just have to find the time to do it :( unfortunately between my Spring Break coming right before the end of the year, Student Teaching being all the time always, and my Honors Project and Education-y project thing being due very soon, I don't know if I'll have the time to finish all of these.


·         Reaffirm University’s Dedication to Recycling & Sustainable Culture
o   Purpose: Establish that Recycling & Sustainability is important to the University, remind them of past efforts and suggestions that have not been followed up on.
·         Investigate Mishandling in the University’s Recycling Program
o   Numerous reports by students, as well as the staff of Residence Life & Housing and the Student Union that Recycling has been thrown away when inconvenient
o   If so, this is an example of dishonesty to the students on behalf of the University and must be rectified
·         Improve Visibility of & Access to the Student Union’s Recycling Program
o   The recycling bins have become increasingly difficult to find, even the maintenance people do not know where they are any more
o   If students have to work more than twice as hard to find a recycling bin than a garbage can, they are less likely to recycle on account of convenience
·         Implement a Recycling Program at the Martin Center
o   At a recent USG event, the staff there said there is no recycling program at the Martin Center
o   Our event alone purchased hundreds of cans from University Catering Services
·         Transfer Handling of the University’s Public Printers from Physical Facilities to Information Technologies
o   Will make it easier to convert to Duplex printing campus-wide
·         Investigate Alternate Building-Heating Methods into Future Construction
o   Every year students complain about the heat, and every year the University responds “sorry, nothing we can do.” So let’s do something about what they can do.
·         Discontinue Dining Services’ Contract with Chick-Fil-A
o   Numerous University’s proceed us in this ban, on account of equality of treatment of employees/hirings
o   The University is dedicated to protecting the civil liberties of all of it’s students
o   Students who are still interested in getting Chick-fil-A can go to Howe Road and use their Zipcard.

Movie Analysis: "The Worst Witch: The Movie"

Image
Well the other day I signed up for some stupid Blockbuster program: which means I get even more free movies sent to me, more than I have time to watch as a matter of fact. Well, per my interest in movies about magic , I found this "The Worst Witch: The Movie" film that I had never heard of before so I decided to rent it and watch it this Saturday morning when I plan to catch up on my rough week's piling up of work to do. First, the movie stars Fairuza Balk -- star of "Return to Oz" , "The Craft," and other things. First, I'd like to note that I always confuse the names "Fairuza Balk" with "Veruca Salt" -- the bad egg from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory . I can't help but notice that her characters are all the same. Dorothy from Return to Oz could just as easily have been a witch - in fact, Glinda even asks her in the original Wizard of Oz if she's a good witch or a bad witch! But let's take a moment to

Losing all my Drive

First, a hair update. The dying went interestingly to say the least. I was reminded once again of how much of a cry baby I am, can't stand a little scorching burning sensation. While I was aiming for something along the lines of this , Circle K members seem to think I hit more of a Nazi kid from the movie "The Pacifier" -- I've actually never seen it, but Tiffany owns it and I'll have to borrow it sometime. (Googling a bit, this guy is likely who they're referring to.) Ugh, so had another stressful day. Since waking up I pretty much hadn't had five minutes to just sit down, and literally finally found 3 minutes to eat a Banquet in the middle of the day (roommates judge how they want - when I only have 3 minutes for a meal, I'm really not all that picky.) Got to vote, picked up my check from home, and took a wrong turn on the high way and ended up taking 8 South to 77. (Two separate ways to get to Akron, but taking one to the other was a major waste of

Observations on Captain Kirk's Quarters

Image
So I've been in a bit of a Star Trek mood lately, and right now I'm watching the movie Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country before bed. Having noticed a few things I'd never noticed before, I feel like I should publish them on the internet somewhere! Firstly, I have the utmost respect and love for the people who make the tiny details of Star Trek possible. Mike Okuda in particular, who designed all of the major Starfleet computer screen layouts. And a little random background in case your curious, Star Trek VI is the sixth Star Trek movie that came out a little after Star Trek: The Next Generation aired. It is the last film to focus solely on the original crew, and is set aboard the USS Enterprise-A (the second of six Federation Starships named Enterprise.) So, onto my observations! "...I can never forgive them for killing my boy." (Kirk's son David was introduced in Star Trek II, only to be killed by the Klingons in Star Trek III.) First thi
