SA is a useless organization full of self-important assholes padding their resumes at the expense of the rest of the student body. Tens of thousands of dollars that could be better spent are diverted to SA to play with, and SA's pretense of speaking for the student body often does more harm than good.

Part of that community is the mutual understanding that students don't turn in other students for things like "drinking in collis", nor should they post private information on blogs for wide dissemination...its the kind of behavior that suggests deceit and self-interest. Now, since you've seen "The Departed" and have cultivated a very special understanding of the term, you may not agree. Most people would suggest that by betraying the community, choosing to run to the nearest grown-up instead of handling a problem, Andreadis has behaved in rat-like fashion.

It was the fact that Shpeen brought beers for all the members of his committee during a meeting in the SA office, in COLLIS. If Shpeen had asked to convene in a frat foyer or basement, I really doubt Tim would've given a rat's ass about it. It's not just Tim's neck on the line but SA's reputation too if S&S walked by the open door of the meeting to see a bunch of people having beers in Collis. And we all know how often random S&S officers patrol through places on campus at even the most unexpected times.<BR/><BR/>I don't think it was right of Tim to report Shpeen, and I do have suspicions that if it had been someone else leading the meeting, perhaps he would've given second thought. That said, however, think about it this way. We're all trying to be so self-righteous here but let's be honest: if you saw someone you'd already been engaged in conflicts with blatantly flaunting the rules in ways that could get you in a ton of trouble, would you hesitate to take the first step that would ensure otherwise? Tim asked for the beers to be put away and all he received was laughter in his face. Maybe he was motivated by reasons such as anger and irritation other than just rule-obedience, but that's understandable.<BR/><BR/>I may not be a big fan of either but Shpeen's motivations are ill-founded and will have a much bigger impact on the student body than people think. "Dissolving" SA goes far beyond just retaliation for his getting on probation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10384575.post-1168987837118473622007-01-16T17:50:00.000-05:002007-01-16T17:50:00.000-05:00Wow, as interesting as this all was yesterday, I'm...Wow, as interesting as this all was yesterday, I'm bored of it already. Yea SA sucks, and yea, Tim is a shitty president. But shpeen is a pretty shitty person too. Though he may be on to something with abolishing SA. Everybody involved in this (including Seal and those who have been regularly commenting here) now look incredibly petty.<BR/><BR/>Let's find somethign else to be irrationally angry about for a few days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10384575.post-1168986647004444262007-01-16T17:30:00.000-05:002007-01-16T17:30:00.000-05:00Danielle,Adults recognize and distance themselves ...Danielle,<BR/>Adults recognize and distance themselves from people who are rats pretty quickly; being a rat is not an admirable quality, but it is the term that encompasses the deceit and self-interest Andreadis AND Seal have demonstrated. There is something to be said for the idea of weighing the pros and cons of a situation and determining that reporting underage drinking was the best idea in this situation. This whole incident started when Andreadis decided to side against a member of his student body. How come Andreadis never turned himself in when he engaged in underage drinking? Because he is selfish, and decided that this would be his underhanded way of "getting" Shpeen. <BR/>Bad at SA, and bad at representing the student body. This does not sound like the kind of guy I want representing the student body. Why do you want him to be your Student Body President?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10384575.post-1168985066025992012007-01-16T17:04:00.000-05:002007-01-16T17:04:00.000-05:00Wow, mature comment - pat on the back to you.I don...Wow, mature comment - pat on the back to you.<BR/><BR/>I don't see what's wrong with turning any of this in. Attacking people as "rats" and "tattle-tales," terminology that has not been used since 6th grade or so, is just ridiculous. I don't care what personal vendettas there were or are. Maybe if there were accountability on this campus, some things would be different.<BR/><BR/>This seems to be a conspiracy to overthrow Tim by someone who has a "vendetta" against him, given the roster of people that attended the last SA meeting. But, ultimately, it will be up to the SA to decide if they want to do whatever Shpeen says he wants to do. If Tim has enough supporters, they too will show up to show their support and nothing will happen. I think it's crazy to attack him in the way commentators have been on this blog and ridiculous to say the majority of the student body is upset with his leadership. In fact, I'd venture a guess that the majority doesn't give a rat's butt what the SA does (as long as the blitz terminals are operational) or pay attention at all. <BR/><BR/>As far as this issue with Shpeen's record getting on the Internet, employers look for that stuff anyway and maybe he should have thought about how that looked before he served alcohol to minors beyond the safety of Chi Gam. That was certainly a stupid decision, don't you think?<BR/><BR/>Let's move on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10384575.post-1168984954907052752007-01-16T17:02:00.000-05:002007-01-16T17:02:00.000-05:00Adam got a consensus for COS reform.
