a bit much

You might want to make an announcement about the GA on the front page. It's been a while since this was posted and people may not have found out the date yet.

.first communique to the insufferable bores of mcmaster.
(meant to be deliberate, but without the seriousness that would contradict and/or ruin the aim.)

Start with Debord's: La Société du spectacle

Next some of Rothko' Manifesto:

1. To us art is an adventure into an unknown world, which can be explored only by those willing to take the risks.
2. This world of imagination is fancy-free and violently opposed to common sense.
3. It is our function as artists to make the spectator see the world our way not his way.
4. We favor the simple expression of the complex thought. We are for the large shape because it has the impact of the unequivocal. We wish to reassert the picture plane. We are for flat forms because they destroy illusion and reveal truth.


We assert that the subject is crucial and only that subject matter is valid which is tragic and timeless. That is why we profess spiritual kinship with primitive and archaic art.


Then help me create "situations"

I haven't been to a GA, but I have been to the MES's SAGMs.

Assuming they're similar, you get to voice your opinions on motions and and take part in votes.

(Maybe I'm wrong though?)

that's basically it.. =)

Quoting Guy Debord doesn't explain your point.

sorry it was meant as a quick response to this fun sarcasm , and other general boredom. no Guy quotes, just a reference point. and no explanation to this point(?which?) but it was more fun to write.

Location/date finalized and updated in the first post of the thread!!

And overturn the Coke referendum.

Quorum is 3% of the total MSU membership, so that would be about 580 based on the number of eligible voters in last fall's referendum.

The Constitution cannot be amended at this GA because notice and other steps required by the existing Constitution are not in place. That said, if this GA achieves quorum (which would be the first time since 1995), binding resolutions may be passed on just about anything else.
