No comments on the meeting tonight- big test tomorrow. I'll be posting sometime tomorrow afternoon when I have a chance. I'm sure there will be plenty coverage in the Kaimin (both the business manager and the editor were in attendance, along with a reporter and the on-campus ad rep). I've volunteered for KBGA radio tomorrow, which means sometime around 9am, I'll take a short interview on the meeting (nothing substantial).
I'm pretty new to the blog culture, and I didn't really think of using any name other than my own. But it's not a blog so much about me as about the Missoula UM campus. So the new name... "Secure These Ends" is taken from ASUM House Rules Section 1. Oath of Office:
I quote, "I do solemnly swear that I will... to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the rights and privileges of the students of the University of Montana, and will responsibly undertake all duties necessary to secure these ends."
That may change yet again, who knows? I like the way it sounds for now and the link will always remain.
Now the subtitle. Some funny remarks about the emo tone begs an explanation. The line actually comes from a Seamus Heaney poem, one of my favorites- "From Station Island:"
You lose more than you redeem
doing the decent thing. Keep at a tangent.
When they make the circle wide, it's time to swim
out on your own and fill the element
with signatures on your own frequency,
echo soundings, searches, probes, allurements
elver-gleams in the ever darkening sea.
