It was very well attended by students, faculty/staff, and community members. Howevre, unless I am mistaken, I did not see anyone from the paper or the yearbook there to get coverage. This was a very large and labor intensive event put on by the BSU, and I was surprised that they were not there to report on it considering they were at Battle of the Bands and are often at smaller events put on by other organizations.just curiousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318532744978761749.post-59993725537800189102009-03-02T13:16:00.000-05:002009-03-02T13:16:00.000-05:00I think they were turned off because someone said the name of the administrator who they were refering too.

I think it is funny that a debate has started from my use of the term Joe Sixpack. Should I have used John Doe? Get back to debating meal plans and I'll remember to use John Doe next time so people don't get off topic. And before you start debating my name it is just a joke.

And in PBA's case (no pun intended) the reference could be to a six pack of Pepsi products not,as I'm assuming now, your assumption that its a reference to a six-pack of "adult beverages". Not being the original writer of the comment I can't ascertain the exact definition they were implying but it is still ammusing that the term "Joe Sixpack" when viewed through the rose-colored glasses of PBA is viewed negatively.

I am a vegan, and it is so difficult for me to eat a meal at this school. Everything is doused in butter, all the veggies are de-frosted before syrup, and high fructose corn syrup is in everything (including the spaggeti sauce). Paying 10 bucks for the crappiest salads ever suck.

I can't see why anyone in their right mind would pay for a meal plan if they didnt have to. Of course if they lowered the cost and made it competitive then maybe commuter students and others would get a meal plan. One of the key values of a Free Enterprise system is that the more competition the lower the prices and the better deal the consumer gets.... but who wants to stick to key values when your bottom line might be affected.Numbersnoreply@blogger.com
