ARRRRGH
I just felt like ripping the presidential call-in sheets that I had in my hand into a billion pieces. For the third time in the past week I was hearing from a university staff that our Action Against AIDS table was being moved. ONE Seton Hall had planned a table in coordination with World AIDS Day in our university center for last Friday, but the person who was supposed to fill out the paper work wasn’t in. Then over the weekend all the spaces on Monday became filled, so we were push back one more day. But my campus’s bureaucracy had one more trick up its sleeve, today at 10:30 we were moved from the high traffic space next to the cafe we were promised to the dust settling Living Room, which is really used only by a handful of commuters. So much red tape just to hand out some red ribbons.
However despite Fate’s best efforts our event turned out to be a great success. Word spread through classes (thank you facebook), and every hour there was a good size crowd signing our support banner, pinning each other with ribbons, and phoning into Obama and Thompson to ask them to take a stance on AIDS. Never mind the fire drill that lasted 45mins in the middle of our time slot (standing in 28 degree weather makes you stronger to fight poverty). I am letting out another ARRRGH cause we are the Seton Hall Pirates and we are ONE. Watch out top 10, we are gunning for you.
