WAR!!!
What is it good for?
Then again, you could very well ask the same question about the Career Center.
It's another one of those amazing Fee Referenda. Some idiots want us to spend our money on their idiocy, as usual. This time, they want to move the Career Center "closer to campus." I put that in quotes because it's not actually moving much closer to campus. Right now it's on Bancroft between Oxford and Shattuck, which, I guess, is inconvenient to people who are looking to pick up a career between classes. They want to move it to across the street from Lower Sproul.
What's the price of this move? Well, it starts at $12 a semester (that's two CalPIRG pledges) and will go up to $16 eventually, though none of us will be around to see it. I guess that's pretty smart, now that I think about it. Why not raise fees on other people? Why shouldn't we act like total assholes?
Now, people who go the career center now won't get much out of the move, because they already go. People who don't go probably aren't going to start going, either, since we already pick up careers from our departments, for the most part. So, let's review.
Spend a lot of money.
Get nothing in return.
While I agree that this is the traditional way student fees work, maybe we can vote "NO" just this once.
