Please excuse the layout of this peice of writing. This sort of problem will, I assure you, lead to awful things happening. Many people are tired of these antics and resent the attitudes of the supposed representatives. It is truly sad that it was only in hindsight that they decided to give to a charity shop. Complete disregard. Any charity would have been happy to collect. Which brings me to the Saint Vincent de Paul, a charity doing great work but fails in certain respects. Could the SVP not have been on the ball and have an agreement set up whereby the SVP recieves all of the one year old books. Besides all of this book talk this is important for another reason. It reflects a type of attitude. An attitude which is becoming increasingly unpopular. Samuals quote mentions the Students’ Union as though it is seperate to the students themselves. It is seperate I agree. Without wanting to offend or discourage membership I think it reasonable to suggest that it is more of a club for follower, loners and the odd leader type of person. The kind who can organise useless things but who has no individual thought or creativity. Who says we cannot leave the books outside that building? Is there nowhere else they could be left like somewhere they could be seen. Let me think…Done. Outside theatre L where everybody in arts walks by. And the SU know that spot very well. I know it too because half of the time there are candidates looking for votes. “FREE SAMBOS” they say, in earnest. when I see some of them I cringe and feel awful pukey when I walk past them. “Vote for Pat” they say, with there big sincere eyes which long for some form of institutionalisation and network of fellow vulnerables. “Being in the SU is good for the CV”. Come on guys. Unless your causing a serious fuss as a member of the SU your not worth your votes. It should actually be called Student Union Soc. ‘For all the fops who want to be part of something, whatever that something happens to be. Our voting some of these people in is a poor reflection on our voting ability. Though thats genetic. Getting to my original point, I fear for some of these people we speak about. People like Sam and Pat are becoming part of much despised minority. The minority who will fire as many people necessary without regard to the role the employees play. These things combine to incite anger. Students be careful not to fall into the trap that many have fallen into. The pogroms took place not because it was right but because there was popular support for them. A similar but perhaps a more spread out variation will occur. People like Pat could easily be set upon and attacked or beaten or stabbed. There is no place for people to effectively express dissatisfaction and the implementation of measures that do not sit easy with the voters is sure to cause a disturbance. Pat and others are actually vulnerable at this moment as they do not have adequate protection from potential enemies. Though these people may not actually be malevolent is aside from the point. It is how they are viewed that matters. People view Pat and others as the villian and at some point during the crunch heroes will arise. Popular support for a national enema to rid our poorly nation of its putrid and sour cream is brewing so be aware and try not to develop a Nazi mentality against those people who seem to be making bad decisions on our behalf.

Apparently the dumping was just phase 1.

Phase 2 was to be a public burning of these books.

Its all part of the SU’s new policy on the censorship of Financial Management Theory.
