What's Happening on campus?

Clubs
USU has over a hundred clubs; It seems like they have a club for every interest. There's posters advertising activities and fund raisers. Every week a different club sets up a table in the hall to recruit or sell tickets to fund raise. The Statesman ran an editorial about "Clubs out of Control." "It seems like anyone can create a club. Shouldn't organizations serve meaningful purposes?"

But what about the Aggie Nap club. It's mission statement was to Provide students with the opportunity to take a well deserved nap.

Then there's the Fort Night Club. It proved a students a with a study night during Finals Week where people can build blanket forts. Also listed was a Hacky Sack Club.

"Let's quite trying to be the school with the most creative clubs and get involved in stuff that matters."

One week I saw the Nap Club members out in the hall trying to recruit. They had a list of all the fun activities they want to do. I asked "Where can I get a good nap?' They couldn't answer.

Since school has started, I've notice the couches in the TSC lounges are always taken when I want a nap after work. The pictures shows hoe empty they were in the summer.



Love seats in the institute are a little scrunchy. So I had to walk five minutes to the library to find a decent, empty couch for my nap.

I think the nap club is extreme. I showed the (nap) student the editorial in the paper, which he hadn't read.

Slow Food Movement
In October the paper ran an article about "Slow Food on Campus Chapter" Did you know that a "Slow Food Movement is a nationally recognized and hopes to decelerate the rapid pace of consumerism.

So what is slow food? Does that mean you need to eat slowly, or it takes a long time to prepare? Just the terms "Slow Food Movement" sounds like something done in the bathroom.

The paper goes on to say "Students are the biggest abusers of processed foods, eating whatever is most convenient.""

It's the opposite of Fast Foods. Why don't call a spade a spade? It's a request to return to scratch cooking and eating fruits and vegetables. The article touts a return to support local organic farmers.
