I was in Nice last year, and there were spots by the entrance of the campus in a big transparent mailbox.

For a student with no previous experience in USC, he beat two students with lots of USC experience. I hope that Mike Tithecott will still address those concerns and work to lower food prices on campus. be As to Emily's point on the environment, hopefully our president elect will able to adapt some sort of environmental initiatives before taking office next year. -pce I think that Marshall Goldfarb brought up the concern by students that campus food is too expensive and you can see that in the results.

The signs cluttering campus don't do a whole lot to sway people's votes and they're a waste of resources. Students spend so much time on the internet that it would be a much more effective and enviro-friendly way of campaigning. I personally think that two ply toilet paper is very unimportant compared to so many other issues like being environmentally friendly. I find it frustrating that so many students responded to gimmicks. At least it wasn't Goldfarb... I think the candidates should be encouraged to run a paperless campaign with a focus on the internet.

My disappointment is rooted in my concern in the lack of environmental initiatives in Tithecott's platform (and frankly from all candidates). Western cannot sustain this thick, hazy, polluted air of enviro-apathy. I think we have yet to see a candidate who addresses campus sustainability and the potential the USC has to initiate a true green-shift (not green-wash). As for the, I feel, blind Yes-vote in the referendum: that is also a disappointment. I hope this will be an opportunity to create some positive space on campus (for us and ol' mama earth). We need to recognise our right and the necessity to organise. We can turn these renovations into green innovations; something Western can be proud of! Is everyone thinking I should get off my soapbox and run for something? Well the future USC can be sure my voice and the voices of other environmentally concerned students on campus will be pushing for some real action in the coming school year. Peace all.
