“If every person took a moment, just a little longer, and asked “how can we make this little thing we call Northwestern a little bit better?” and helped work with us to get it done. That would be a Northwestern to be proud of.”

PD draws from his experience as a CA and the ASG Clerk to tackle the issue of self empowerment among Northwestern students.
“If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business. I do the very best I know how—the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me won’t amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right will make no difference.”

Minority Enrollment Listserv is on its way!
Hey everyone - Sorry for the delay, this has been a long time coming. This is the official Minority Enrollment listserv that we’ve all been waiting for. Please bear with me for about a week or so while I try to get my bearing on the whole operation process, but otherwise, I think we’re in good shape. If there is anyone else you feel would benefit from being included on this list, please feel free to have them shoot me an email and I’ll be happy to include them. For now, I just want to say that I’m very excited and look forward to us collectively making moves towards our goal this year. Thank you all,

“While we recognize Michael McGee’s bravery for diving into the lake and saving those children from being eaten by rare freshwater sharks, we need to point out that a lack of food is one of the main reasons these sharks are so rare in the first place. Shame, shame on Mr. McGee and ASG for further destroying our environment.”

From the RCB/RHA Caucus Meeting for ASG - MIKE YANG EDITION
Mike enters and makes lame excuses as to why he is late: he overslept… he’s on medication… he sounds like Kanye West.

At the start of every quarter, students brave long lines to spend hundreds of dollars on their course packets and textbooks. This might change soon if Associated Student Government Academic Vice President Mike McGee can persuade the administration to place course materials online for a reduced cost.
Damn. Putting all this pressure on me…
“Yes, yes indeed. Since no one really likes the Kellogg students anyways, with their suits and briefcases and looks of superior contempt as we scurry to collect our precious $5 at Kellogg Study 139258, we’ll kick the whole school out entirely and replace it with a rum-making factory. Every student will work for a few hours a week chopping sugar cane and stoking the distillation fires or doing god knows what you do in a rum factory, and in return, we’ll receive weekly rations of rum and of course, ice-free sidewalks. It might not be as good as having real ice-legs, but it will be pretty pirate-like, with the rum and all. It might even bring Northwestern the unity and cohesiveness that ASG and oNe Northwestern are working so hard for at this very moment. After all, it is Winter Quarter, so if we are going to be getting out of our collective beds at all in the upcoming months, you know we’ll need the support.”

“Good Work. This serves our purpose very well.”
