Final meeting of the semiester
This was our last official meeting for the semester. What we did was talk about our elections for next semester I may no longer be an alternate but I was thinking of becoming a secretory. after all I was keeping track of everything via this blog. Despite the fact I am no longer obligated to do this by my online journalism professor, Jenny Hanson, I still intend to update this blog on a weekly basis.
As for my interview with the Aurora Center, expect that to be up by next week. In the mean time, here are some pictures for a preview:
These pictures are some of the merchandise they intend to distribute soon but you can get them now if you visit the Aurora Center on 128 pleasant street.
Well fellow Auggies, good luck with finals!

Promo time!
Hey readers this week there wasn't an MPIRG meeting so I would like to talk about my audio project.
It will be about the consent culture campaign that the Aurora Center at the University of Minnesota is working on. They have produced some merchandise saying "Consent is Sexy." They've got buttons, shirts and even underwear with the slogan on it. It is a good way to not "blame the victim" and say it was the way s/he dressed. Unfortunately I do not have photos of these cloths because they'd rather I waited until they have a marketing plan.
I'm planning to interview the one in charge of the aura center on December 2nd about what they are exactly trying to accomplish with consent culture.
Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!

There was cake (no lie)
New updates on the whole changing school, Minnesota, and the entire world thing.
If you've been wondering around the schools even for a bit, you may have noticed some of our new posters. Cool, huh? Ian thinks we can do better. If there are any graphic designers reading this let me know so I can fill you on some details.
Speaking of getting noticed, we are currently tabling to stop the HERC act. What is that you ask...I can't really say everything here so come by our table to find out!
we are stopping this act by having students write their names and addresses on a card which we will send to the city council.
We are also planning on having something called "Green Week" from the environmental side of things. When you pass by our tables during Green Week you'll see that we will have something new each day on way s to improve the environment!
We had a cake to celebrate some birthdays so that is why the title is about cake.

How do magnets work?
Hey time for another update!
So in this episode our co-chair, Ellie Krueger did not show up because she was sick so unfortunately I do not have as much to say as I normally would. What I do have though is that we came up with several new ideas from the environmental department. first of all this guy named Mike talked about a perpetual motion device that involves magnets despite the fact that perpetual motion is considered impossible he thinks it could work, he was assigned to do research on that front.
We're also considering painting the recycling bins with the help of the art club so that they are more outstanding (in more ways then one)
And there was talk about putting up multilingual signs but I don't think that's such a big deal.
