Incomprehensable!

   Today I distributed voter registration cards and campaign flyers around my complex for Lamar Heystek, city council candidate. A B-52 flew over while I was doing this, it was cool.


   I'm rather disappointed in the comprehension level of the people in my english class. Today we (1) discussed at length why the Roman generals Scipio Africanus and Scipio the Younger were in the story we were reading (Parliament of Fowls), and then we moved on without anyone drawing any parallels, to (2) a discussion of why Chaucer mentions in the beginning of the story a story by Cicero which this one was based on and happens to be titled "The Dream of Scipio."
   Discussion on point 1 resulted in no real conclusions or hypotheses. Discussion on point 2 featured such things as "I think he was showing off that he's read classic books." Finally I offered "maybe he references the story because this one is largely based on it and it completely accounts for the reason the Scipios are in the story...?" Just a thought...


   I learned at the ASUCD Senate meeting last Thursday that 30% of all chalkings are erased within an hour, and 80% are gone by the end of the day. Of course there would be definitive research into this topic.


   ...aaaand internet connection went down, so I can't do anything more with this tonight.

Dear SGAO

Dear SGAO of ASUCD,
   While I appreciate your helpful and enthusiastic intentions behind photocopying the page with Standing Rule Two Section 4.1.1 on it and putting it in my box with "duties of the the Chairpersons of Commissions" and "(4) informing each individual Commission member of the status of their term" highlighted, I must point out that I was already fully aware of this when I wrote "ASUCD Standing Rule Two, section 4.1.1, lists as the fourth of six duties enumerated upon Commission Chairpersons 'informing each individual Commission member of the status of their term" in the Court Order for Case # 23.
   I apologize if I misinterpreted your motivation behind giving me a highlighted copy of the bylaw, but clearly I was already very aware of it, and am concerned by the SGAOs apparent ignorance of the Court Order which directly concerns them. Also, The highlighted portions were already highlighted in my own copy of the Standing Rules.

Love,                  
your Chief Justice
