First meeting back and Critic dashed into the boardroom slightly late to discover the whole Exec had been instructed to “dress like gangstas,” while wearing “I <3 OUSA” t-shirt.

We have no idea why, as they looked ridiculous. Student politicians sporting flat peaks, bandanas and t-shirts as doo-rags isn’t a good look, although Sarah did tell Logan that he was “looking quite dashing in that hat.” After questioning when he was going to get a haircut, Sarah has also offered to dye his hair OUSA green, all very cosy. Possible pairing for Critic’s “Summer Lovin” we think.
 
Moving on to less important business, apparently Mojo’s building, significantly damaged in the strong winds of last semester, needs to become earthquake proofed. This would require a commitment from OUSA to fund this process over the next twenty years, seemingly quite a pricey project. The Exec wasn’t willing to make a decision on this at the meeting, being that they’re still a teensy bit concerned about the threat of that pesky VSM Bill going through parliament. Thankfully Logan is locking himself in a cage next week to protest the Bill, a move he promised was bound to stop Her Majesty’s government in their tracks.
 
After that non-starter, Brad was appointed as a second signatory on the OUSA bank accounts at the meeting, as since FSO Dan Stride’s resignation Logan has been the sole signatory on the finances. That being the case it’s a wonder that OUSA’s cash reserves haven’t been spent on a dozen SoGos for every scarfie on Castle St yet.
 
Actually, OUSA is in a small jam with regards to forming a budget for 2012, as they have no FSO and a very green (soon to be greener) President with seemingly not much experience in this sort of lark (beyond his B- in the BSNS104 midterm of course). Former President Harriet Geoghegan has offered to oversee the process from Australia, so hopefully they’ve got some cheap calling deal organised across the ditch.
 
Excitingly the next Exec meeting is being held at 3pm Tuesday outside Logan’s prison. The face that Critic pulled at this got us told off by Shonelle, who told us not to “look too excited.” We are just happy that we will be able to stare blankly at the sky for a change; the roof of the boardroom was getting boring.
 
Scarfie Critic reporter and Presidential gal pal Lozz Holding is also apparently keen to run a BBQ outside Logan’s Prison. Lozz has just had his cat neutered, which cost him a whopping $70, so he is looking to recoup this money by tending to some sausage. He’s also going to need money for his highly unrealistic plan to buy The Cook, see pg 15 for details.
