Senior appalled at little kids’ smashed pumpkins I recently happened to be gazing though the Collegian at work and I ran across an article that really irritated me. The headline was “Pumpkins smashed, Memories lost.” I read through what all these little kids said about how they had even named the pumpkins, and how upset they were about them getting smashed. Well reading this really pissed me off. It bothered me that the intelligence level of certain individuals on this campus is as low as it is. Being a senior in college I have found myself more and more sickened by the actions of some of the idiots I see running around campus and at the bars. In four years, I ran across way more than I ever expected. When I first came here I figured college was where you are supposed to grow as a person and leave the little kid s*** in the past. Apparently some of the “Einsteins” out there must have slept through that part of orientation, because I see it from people everyday. I hope it makes all those out there who like ruining a little kids’ Halloween feel good about themselves. Don’t you immature douche bags feel like bad a**es?

Students cheated by dining service’s meal plansOn-campus SDSU students should not be forced to purchase the current meal plans offered by the Dining Service. Students are being cheated due to the fact that monies left on their dining account at the end of each semester are non-transferable and non-refundable. The meal plans that have “all-you-care-to-eat” block meals are removed if a student does not use the minimum number required per week and flex dollars only carry over from the fall semester to the following spring semester. Meal plans are enormous with the smallest being priced at $715.
Having plans that do not carry over often encourages students to excessively spend their money just to use it up and possibly lead to the waste of food. SDSU Dining Service should provide smaller meal plans or not require on-campus students to purchase them each semester.

Red Cross blood drive sucess even without unionSDSU students and staff are amazing! The Red Cross blood drive last week was no run-of-the-mill blood drive. A few months ago, we thought the problems caused by not having a student union would jeopardize the outcome of the blood drive this fall, but we were wrong. Every campus office we worked with was enthusiastic about finding ways to overcome this year’s obstacles. Members of the Nursing Student Association (NSA) managed to convince nearly 450 students to come to our obscure location in Lincoln Hall this year; 371 of those individuals were able to save lives by giving blood.
The Brookings County Chapter at the American Red Cross and North Central Blood Services wants to thank the NSA for their zealous recruiting efforts and Venita Winterboer for guiding that effort. We also appreciate the help we received from the Honors College Student Organization and Chi Omega sorority.
On behalf of the hundreds of people whose lives have been saved by this year’s blood drive, we want to say thanks to everyone who helped make it happen.
