That's right folks, no more going to the student center to see a movie of interest. After a fabulous turnout of a total of 14 people for the first three movies, it was decided by myself and my peers involved that it was totally unrealistic to blow all that money when students on campus are too busy to get off their ass to support a fund raising event. I'll admit the movies weren't that fantastic, but when nobody shows up at all, I have my thoughts as to what this school is all about. It seems to me that if an event doesn't have any beer or other type of alcoholic beverage, it isn't worth anybody's time. In that case (or should I say Keg), that means my job is to satisfy your thirst, and if I have to cater to a group of alcoholics I would rather call in the A.A. (Alcoholic's Anonymous) first.
