( It always perseveres )
I got out of sociology early yesterday. It was like 10 minutes into class, and Frank had one of the students explain about how there was going to be a walk-out and a rally across campus at 1:30 in protest to some of the things the SRC and the president are doing to the college, one being the removal of the culture centers (that according to someone in the SRC, don't really do what they're supposed to anyway). Frank said we should all go and write a half page on it that would count as a written response. Of course, several of us objected, having class at two, but he said that was okay, it was only worth points toward our grade. *shakes fist* I trekked there, and got there to find they were waiting for more people. I waited for like 10 minutes, got fed up, and went to class. Along the way, there were several groups coming, and they were carrying cardboard caskets and poorly written placards and whatnot. I think the paper said they were going to hold a eulogy for diversity. Of course, my friend walking with me to class said that diversity often only becomes a problem because people make it one, and then pointed out that he doubted if hardly any of them had ever even been to the cultural centers, and he was probably right. The whole rally had the vibe of a sixties rally, and it was just one of those things that gave the idea that it was just something for people to get upset with, and they didn't really care all that much about the whole thing.
