I hope you dug last week’s ode to all things cake. This time
around, the issue focuses around something decidedly more seri-
ous, namely the upcoming DSU Elections. If you’ve ever had an
inkling to get into student politics, now would be a stellar time to
do so. If there’s anything I’ve noticed as a result of my interac-
tion with the student body, it’s that apathy is an endemic quality
from program to program and stretches from one end of the New
West Campus to the very edges of the David Lam parking lot.
Despite the string of troubles the DSU have suffered in recent
years/months, the bulk of our student body are often too self-
involved with their homework and other sundry details to even
notice what goes on around this campus. It’s an all too familiar
pattern that a good chunk of our student body wants the course
credits and that’s about it. I for one think that’s a rather sad real-
ity. There’s much more to campus life than classes. L.e., the cam-
pus! You’ve got to give to receive in life, and getting involved
in student politics is a great way to help out your fellow students.
Heck, you even get paid to do it! If that isn’t you bag, then how
about coming down to the little OP dungeon and writing about
them? Either way, take a little time and get involved. This isn’t
just a transfer school you know! It’s coming up on election time
people. So get your soapbox ready, and we’ ll be there to listen!

And now it’s time for another chapter in the weird and

wonderful observations of Sunny!

Who Lurks Next Door?

V i ould you be surprised to

learn that your neighbour has been
lying dead for more than a week?
These days, single people often die
alone and are not discovered for the
longest time because of the lack of
attention from their neighbours. I
think that just stinks worse than my
sisters socks.

People call modern society an
information-oriented society. Yes,
that’s true because society has
become globalized. although they
are thinking globally, they don’t care
about the people who live in their
neighbourhoods. They only start to
care when the smell that wafts out
of their neighbours appartment isn’t
marijuana.

You could be one of the yet
undiscovered dead. Why not find
a special someone who can keep
your corpse company? Why not get
married today? Skip class, go into your
nearest marriage consultant company
and have an ideal marriage arranged
for you on the spot. The problem

is, there probably isn’t a marriage
consultant company nearby.

In my home country Korea,
there are many marriage consultant
companies. When I came to Canada, I
thought I’d see even more. Surprising
for me, I’ve seen only a few. I thought
with all of the land in Canada, it
would be impossible for people to
find a suitable mate. Anyhow, such
companies are very busy in Korea.
Why, you ask? Many of my friends
back home have married through
such companies. Also, people who
have lots of boyfriends joined there
because they believe that this is
the best method to meet a marriage
partner.

Don’t die alone. Don’t die on
the phone. Perish the thought. Even
though there isn’t the factory for make
ideal marriage partners, you can find
someone. How much time do people
spend for make their relationship?
Aren’t they thinking the relationship
is too easy? A person is not a robot
because we can’t finish all of things
by only one simple shut -down.
