at noon was reasonably well attended. I estimate about 300 students, staff and faculty were present, as well as a couple dozen photographers and reporters. Petitions were circulated and letters to the state legislature were encouraged.
Three speakers addressed the crowd: EWU president Arevalo was uninspired as usual; the faculty representative, associate professor Guillory, was excited and roused the crowd; but the best speaker (by far) was the ASEWU legislative liaison Matt Holmes who had a well scripted and intelligent statement to motivate the crowd.
Oh. And there was free pizza.

interesting- the former President of the US was uninspired as well.
ReplyDeleteHa! That comment is really relevant to this post, eh? Get over it and stop living in the past.
ReplyDeleteI would have thought the positive observation would be that the EWU student was the most articulate of the speakers. Good for him.
