But it's control over the trivial things that tells you everything about who is in charge. There are larger issues that are worthy of student attention and oversight, if not control: the BP deal, stadium expansion, the bringing of corporate chains to the Bear's Lair, etc. To me these are all part of the same issue.

That sounds like a fight that Rally Comm should vanguard. Although this shit is nice glimpse into how even the most minuscule elements of our 'student life' has to be approved by some rich guy in a suit. Student power and government here is non-existent. Big brother is already here, Yaman.
