Execrable - 24
The Exec meeting was short on numbers last week, and struggled mightily to make quorum. This problem was compounded when it was revealed that Ariana was on call for duty at Selwyn, so if some type of crazy situation went down at that particular College then the meeting was all off. Upon realising that the Budget and the Constitution were both up for debate, Critic attempted to call in a bomb threat but was hampered by running out of Prepay credit when the cops put us on hold.
The Constitution and Budget were discussed under confidentiality in the meeting, so we can’t tell you what went down, but rest assured the Exec have got something in the works for both. Critic understands that the final budget will be approved by the Exec at the next meeting, before being voted on by students at the referendum that is to coincide with the OUSA elections.
OUSA’s new General Manager, Darel Hall, had the pleasure of attending his first Exec meeting. We do however feel compelled to warn him that there won’t be pizza at every meeting. Darel (can we call you Darel?) was officially welcomed by the Exec, which Logan followed with a informal invitation to join him at Monkey Bar on Thursday night for an ‘induction’. Shonelle has apparently already fallen victim to this ploy, with Logan proceeding to get her “more and more drunk” when they hit the Monkey. If that story didn’t sell Darel on the idea, Logan’s proclamation that “it’s where all the movers and shakers go” was bound to seal the deal.
In more general business, Katie is trying to sort out the backwards wireless internet that the uni is currently providing us with. A poll on the OUSA Facebook page had students overwhelmingly record that they thought the wireless was “Sh*t.” Fuck we’re an articulate bunch. Katie is doing her best to get the situation sorted, but is “getting grumpy talking to really old people” about it. Word.
The OUSA Christmas Party is in the organisation stage, with a variety of themes being thrown around by the Exec. Critic is frothing at the gash to see Katie’s Mr Potatohead costume, and has never heard an idea worse than Fran’s “Soviet Russia theme.” Because nothing says Merry Christmas quite like Soviet Russia, where there was nothing to eat, the government was constantly spying on you, and you might get shot at any moment. Quite the party atmosphere that would be.
