Philanthropist of the Year: Sudsy
This year’s ASUO sob story thus far, other than a broken rib for the Executive second-in-command, has been the Ad Club, who was denied two special requests to Senate to make up for last year’s Ad Club leaders who missed the budget deadline. I’m not sure when the club realized they would be without a budget this year, but fundraising should have started at that moment, not in the last couple weeks.
Like several senators and the President, who said she would veto a special request, I think it won’t be too hard for the club to raise this money. This could set a good example that groups do not, and should not too avoid disasters like this, rely entirely on the incidental fee, especially for a group that is career oriented, benefits a small group of students and should be financially supported by the department or school it is connected to.
I hope the Ad Club has fun asking random people and groups for money, sometimes it leads to new and beneficial connections. The OC is donated $25 bucks to the Ad Club. As Shawna Harsh wrote to us in an e-mail,
“Every penny counts, and we will be grateful for anything that you are willing to contribute.”
Ossie, you should probably have been a little more sober when you typed this post. However, I understand that one must be somewhat drunk when dealing with the ASUO. Thus, we have a conundrum. (Feel free to delete this comment if you fix up the grammar.)
