Stony Brook U Student Government Implodes. It finally happened - President Kenny Decertifies Polity as Governing Body. Admin has moved in, taken over the student activity fee, and effectively put the student government out of business. A few points:
1) We (being the Stony Brook Press) have said this would happen for years - when was it, 1984(?) when we had the spoof cover of Fred Preston quoting the Star Trek line, "We will take what is rightfully ours from the decadent weaklings that now hold it!," referring to the Student Activity fee?
2) I am sure that Polity gave administration ample, ample reason to do so. In the short term, it probably was the right thing to do. But to quote another Star Trek line (this from Seven of Nine), "You frequently state that you 'had no choice.' Does that make you feel better?"
3) A big raspberry to the students that let this happen. Couldn't take care of the student activity fee, so now the 'grownups' have to? Great.
4) Yes, it galls me to have to link to a Statesman article on the news, but there is no Press article available online.

Great Finish At Babylon's Post Office Cafe 5k Run this morning, Blue Point Brewing was giving post-race beers! I had the Octoberfest and the Winter Beer (kegged yesterday!) Races often have beer available at the end, and I sure appreciate it, but rarely as good as Blue Point.

Mickey Jones, Bob Dylan's drummer during the 'gone electric' period, is releasing his home movies of the 1966 world tour. There's no soundtrack, sadly, just Jones' voice over, but it still sounds like alot of fun. Order here.
By the way, I'm fairly sure Mickey Jones is in a recent commercial as the biker guy in the crowded subway with great breath. Just fyi.
