ASLCC sees influx of D.C. applications
Student government received a bevy of applications from students hoping to attend the Grassroots Legislative Conference and National Student Lobby Day in Washington, D.C. this week. The application deadline was Feb. 16 and 21 students applied to go on the trip. It’s great to see students take advantage of the programs they fund through activity fees.

Egyptians transition from protest to cleanup
So far, the military has kept the promises it’s made to the citizens of Egypt after the fall of President Hosni Mubarak. Parliament has been disbanded and military leaders have pledged to conduct an official election in six months. So far, so good.

That transportation fee
Say what you will about paying $27 per term for it, there’s no denying that transportation fee goes toward a good cause. When other areas of Lane County are experiencing the possibility of reduced services or a cut in routes, we’re sitting pretty out here because the buses that run out to LCC are fully subsidized by student fees. If it weren’t for that 10:30 p.m. 81, there may be a need for student housing on campus, after all.
