The Cake Debate: What's Your Say?

Compiled by Betty Crocker, OP Contributor

A. students may be reading in
our news feature this week, the debate
over “Cake” vs. “Tuition Fees” as the
most important issue to Douglas students
is raging on. Here to contribute to this
debate are various comments sent to our
News Desk from the different sides.

“Susan Syuswick,” Full-time Nursing Student
(via e-mail)

“T’ve been in the main concourse during
the last week to see the Cake slate
campaigning. I’m really confused and
disgusted at this—is this real, or is it a
joke? I can’t understand it. Students are
dropping out of my classes because they
don’t have enough money to pay for their
tuition fees. Do we really think we can
solve this problem by ignoring it and by
doing whatever we want? Please tell me
this is a joke.”

“Josh Frederick,” Full-time General Studies
Student (via e-mail)

“Dude... Iam so stoked. Did you see
how they’re just like passing out cake in
the main concourse? For, like, free! I tried
stealing some and this guy tried to stop
me and I was all like ‘make me make you
stop me’ thinking he was gonna jump me
and shit, and then he told me all I had

saved my life!

“Gary Weever” Full-time ‘student of life’ (in-
person)

“Honestly, I’m warning all of you at

the Other Press and Douglas College
students. Your parents tell you that you
got it better than they did back in the
day—forget about it! You can’t even tell
me where Alberta is on a map, and all ’'m
hearing about right now is ‘cake this’ and
‘cake that, I’m cleaning this stuff up off
the floor every day. Focus on education.
Focus on school. Tell the government
that they can’t keep raising tuition and
lowering the standard of living. You can’t
feed Gordon Campbell cake and act

like the two of you went to prep school
together. Wake up. And stop throwing
cake on the floor. That’s all.”

“Stev-o!” Full-time CAKE! (via phone)
CAAAAAKE! CAKE....

CAKE. ... [cough]
CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE! Can
you say, we want CAKE! we want CAKE!
we want CAKE! we want CAKE! we
want CAKE! We want—[indecipherable
moaning]. We—[phone call ends].
