Where does your money go?

 

Vandalism, theft, littering, you want to pay less?  Think about the maintenance staff driving their vacuums around campus.  Why?  Because you inconsiderately throw your garbage on the ground.  Stop Littering.  Every time you steal a sign, light a billboard on fire, pull a false alarm, Who Gets The Bill?  YOU DO.

 

Half this paper is full of students from across Canada crying about tuition.  They pay tuition to be inspired.  How inspired will you be when your professor moves to the U.S. because they couldn’t afford to eat on their minimum salary?  WAKE UP!

 

Yes, inspiration is what I’m here for as well, but I don’t want to be “inspired” in a dark dingy, smelly, nasty theatre.  NO.  I want to be inspired in a big, bright room with swivel padded chairs, desks, and lots of ventilation so I don’t die of carbon dioxide poisoning while being inspired.

 

You pay tuition don’t you?  You Bitch and you March and you Write but you PAY.  And you’ll keep paying until you graduate, won’t you?  Those of you who get so upset and overwhelmed with tuition might even dropout to make your point.  Do you think the University cares?  NO.  They turn away hundreds of students every year because classes are full.  You leave and there are plenty of people to fill your spot.  Go ahead dropout, give somebody else a chance.

 

There are three things everybody wants:  Good Professors, A Beautiful Campus and Low Tuition.  You can only have two.  Which do you want?

 

Cheers.
