This fall, we’ll all be reading two books that will be discussed during and at the end of the semester:

Conscience of a Liberal - Paul Krugman

Don’t Think of an Elephant - George Lakoff

I don’t mean to beat a dead horse, or revive one back from the dead, but browsing the Salt Lake City Weekly “Best of Utah 2008″, guess what was listed as BEST BYU EVENT… that’s right, they’re still talking about the change we made. You can check out the full article here, or just read the excerpt below if you don’t appreciate some recreational profanity.

Dick Cheney Protest, April 2007

Many of us were surprised to hear that good, old-fashioned campus protests are alive and well at BYU—for a few students, anyway, during a certain time frame within the bounds of a so-called “free-speech zone.” But even the squeaky-clean Cougars couldn’t just stand by silently when Vice President Dick Cheney, party to so many of the wrong turns this country has taken over the past seven years, was invited as 2007 commencement speaker. A group of students pulled together a polite protest, which went off without a hitch until the free-speech zone disappeared at the allotted time—then, as the students tried to leave, they were hassled by campus security.

Some great songs, especially anti-Vietnam War and civil rights songs, classic cultural critiques from the left of the 1960s.

Here is your chance to make a difference… well at least for the fashionable representation of our club this year. Cast your vote in the poll on the right! >>>>>>>>>>

Just a reminder: we’ll be having an officers meeting today at 6pm in 240 SWKT.  Everyone who is already on the executive council, who would like to be an officer, or who is thinking about possibly maybe becoming an officer is very much invited…see you there!  (We should be done no later than 7pm)
