Viewpoint
- Addressing workers rights (Aaron Kreider Think, Question, Resist)
It is an exciting time to be an anti-sweatshop activist. Today the administration is meeting with the Executive Director of the Workers Rights Consortium (WRC) and within the next 30 days the administration will decide whether to join the WRC. This is a result of the Progressive Student Alliance's anti-sweatshop campaign, which culminated last March in an administrative promise that within 30 days of an arranged meeting with the WRC, it would make its decision. Now we are finally having that meeting.
- Student's views heard by trustees (Letter to the Editor )
In last Friday's Viewpoint an Observer Editorial entitled "Board of Trustees should meet here" was a well written opinion with some interesting points. I would like to thank The Observer for noting the hard work of the Student Union Board of Trustees Committee. Additionally, I am glad to see that they agree with the Student Union's attempts to encourage a student voice at all Board of Trustees meetings. I cannot tell you how important Brooke and I feel that the voice of the students be heard at all levels of University governance. In fact, that is why we have worked so hard to allow students into the winter meeting of the Board of Trustees.

- Paper versus procrastination (Josh Kirley Swift's Confederate)
Ever woken up at 11:30 and had a Philosophy paper due at 1? You sprint over to the cluster. Winded. Smelly. Hung-over. You start by being distracted by the hot girl on the computer across from you, laughing at her computer just so you know that her friends write the funniest e-mails ever. If you have, your internal monologue may have gone something like this.
