Flock the USC

After trying (unsuccessfully) to vote in the University Student Council (USC) elections from this computer, and posting a comment under Kota's reply, I considered not moving out of this chair. 

Ok, so feeling the need to be a responsible student, I sought out other voting options. I tried another computer in the library - "you are not enfranchised" (or something like that) was the result. So I went to the source, the University Community Centre. I figured I was in luck, there were two voting booths clearly marked. I sat down in the first one - which turned out to be completely offline. I snickered and muttered a suttle "figures". So I moved on to the second booth, which was... also completely offline.

do you believe algae-derived biofuels are a sustainable / acheivable solution to our impending peak energy / environment crisis?

No. Absolutely not. I've looked into it myself, and it has no rational / scientific basis for existing as a solution.

It could or it could not. I have no opinion on the matter.

I would most likely offer up my tax dollars / invest in this type of technology to have it exist in my region.

There ARE still good people in London- a thankyou

To anyone who has ever lost a wallet, you know the stress involved with such an inconvenient travesty.  While running errands today I lost mine, complete with $200 and all the ID for my son and myself (birth certificates, SIn cards, Health cards, my Driver's Lisence etc.)  After calling to cancel all my credit cards and bank card, I reported it to the police and then tried to get on with my day.  I then received a call that someone who wished to remain nameless had found it and turned it over to the police, complete with the entire $200.  I wish i knew who found it

Vote for Ryan Gauss for USC Prez!

Before deciding who your going to vote for in the upcoming USC election, if your voting please consider Ryan Gauss for USC president

Ryan Gauss did an amazing job at Kings with our student council.  He brought in Ralph Nader, David Suzuki, and Jack Layton.  He spoke out at city hall and the police service board against the sterotyping of students around what was dubbed 'project speakeasy' which targeted univeristy/college kids unfairly. 

I encourage people to vote for Gauss January 19th or 20th.
