As most of you know, ASLMU has canned our fall concert in favor of… who the hell knows? I’ve heard of some half assed Battle of the Bands, but the chances of me ditching a Friday night for some freshman with too much Guitar Hero aspirations are about as good as a Theta’s chances of getting a PhD. So instead of hearing OAR, Less Than Jake, Gym Class Heroes or any of the thousands of decent college bands ASLMU could have booked, the student body will probably end up with jack… but then it’s not like we’re spending 30,000 bucks a year or anything, right? (contain rising anger)
Instead of banging my head against my desk for 3 hours, I’ve instead decided to point out a few other ways that ASLMU can make it up to me, the angry LMU student. And God help you Sean Tierney if you so much as mutter the words “diversity event.”
Top Five Ways ASLMU Can Spend The Money They Would Have Spent on Fall Concert
- Give every student 10 bucks. (Using fuzzy math 5600 x 10 = $56,000 which is well less than a band would cost) That’s right, give me 10 dollars dammit. If Ralph’s is having a sale that’s a nice little six pack, which should help me try and forget that I’m not going to be seeing a fucking concert.
- Pay people to read the Loyolan. If I could take back every second I’ve spent glancing at the Loyolan newsracks as I walk by hoping against hope I might see a story worth reading, I would. In order that you might save time allow me to summarize EVERY single Loyolan for you: white people= bad, neighbors = pissed off, sports teams = mediocre, freshman = dumb, coherence & grammar = 0. Throw in the occasional borderline socialist rant and you’ve pretty much summed up our local rag. However, if you paid me like, I don’t know, 40 bucks I might read it. I’m pretty sure a bum would read it for 30 if we’re really pinching pennies.
- Buy Mr. Howard a car. If you have not experienced the wonder of Mr. Howard, get up right now walk to Von’s and head to the 15 item express line (You’re buying alcohol, don’t kid yourself) and introduce yourself to Mr. Howard. Words barely describe this man’s awesomeness. He is the Mr. Pibb Extra of the human kind soda analogy I’m stretching to make. There is seriously no nicer man in the greater Westchester area and it’s high time we do something about it. Giving him a car says both “We love you for putting up with our immature alcohol shenanigans” and “We’re giving you a car because you stomp more ass than Jean Claude Von Damme.” Mr. Howard rules.
- PAY FOR A GODDAMN SHUTTLE TO SHARKEEZ/BAD DOG/WHEREVER. LMU doesn’t like drunk driving. I don’t like drunk driving. I’m a student, cabs are expensive. LMU took all my money. Thus using very simple logic (stay with me Alpha Phi) we can see that diverting money from ASLMU into something useful like a drunkey cab, is smart. We’ve previously established (see earlier article) that not a whole lot of studying goes on here. We do know that a shitload of drinking does go on here- ask your local neighborhood Nazi for confirmation. Ergo, RUN A GODDAMN CAB. (The first person to say Lion Express in the comments gets five fingers to the face for being an idiot)
- Sponsor an LMU “Bikini Day” I defy you to find any man walking this campus that doesn’t think the second coming of Christ would probably be preceded by an event EXACTLY like this.
So ASLMU, the ball is in your court. Wow me. Or sponsor another “Hall Brawl.” Yippee.



eh......

No that money should go into hiring an econ teacher who actually speaks English.

I am SO glad that I graduated already. It was bad enough when they canceled Charter Ball on us when I was a Senior...

Well fucking done. Thank you Not Sanjay for representing the side of LMU that likes to have a good time instead of trying to pinpoint social/racial groups and their deficiencies.
Except this is probably going to be now on the Loyolan for being a racist article.
