Can this really be a viable option? With the number of students that depend upon their affordable ability to get to and from school, getting rid of the u-pass? Whoever thought of this has obviously been away from the University\/student life waaaay to long to be making the decisions they do about something that affects students so much.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Apparently (please forgive my if I have this totally wrong), if there are less that 4505 student voters in the upcoming AMS elections or if there are enough people that vote no, the U-Pass will no longer exist. Thats right! Some smart(politically correct)”butt”ed individual thought that this was acceptible. Obviously, any student on campus with a brain can realize the implications of this disaster.<\/p>\n
So.. this is my plea. It is simple and non-intrusive. VOTE! Thats all it takes! I am guessing that the two options you might be\u00a0presented with\u00a0during this vote are poopy at best(IE Option 1: vote yes and the U-Pass gets more expensive, Option 2: vote no and the U-Pass gets deleted *click click*) but welcome to the world of politics! So please choose the lesser of two evils. If you do not rely upon public transit (this is rare though.. honestly) then just vote! Us students need the participation! \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
