Well, I'd love to explain, but it's better if you just read this page.

There's no reason we should have to put up with this crap. I'm a 3rd year Commerce student living in rez, and I'm bringing my own fridge. Check out this event thing to see what other alternatives there are, some commentary, and feel free to join the event if you agree. If you don't agree, or think I'm a jerk (which I am, sometimes) then I encourage debate because I've never once heard a sound argument in favour of this ludicrous policy.

I would be doing the exact same thing if I wasn't loft and bunk, but since I get a fridge anyway, there's no point in bringing extra (though I do have my own). Regardless I do think the new fridge policy is stupid, especially with how sketchy the Coldex website is. http://www.coldexrents.com/

Look at how sketchy the credit card submission page is: https://secure9.securewebexch ange....ster.htm#order

It's a wonder so many universities got sucked into doing business with them when they don't even appear professional at all. I wouldn't feel "secure" giving them my credit card information.

Even if people don't join your group, I bet you a lot of students will sneak their fridges in anyway. Who wants to pay for a rental last minute when they've probably already bought their own?

Sarrah, from the IRC, has started a fb group here: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gi...2431104&ref=mf which indicates the next steps they're going to take

don't protest yet (or ever on this issue actually lol) at least wait until irc/msu/sra finds out the results. This is kinda about more than the fridge of course. Other universities have this policy already I believe. This is more about how much say the students really have around here and how useful our student leaders can be when the admin wants something students don't. small issue testing. I guess we'll find out soon.

Without the support of the student body, student leaders (such as the irc or msu) have very little to stand on. They're supposed to represent the students, so they need to show that repealing the fridge policy is something that students actually want.

I'm not going to stand outside MUSC with a sign and yell "WE WANT A FRIDGE!" with a big sign or anything haha, I'm just going to bring my own fridge and Mac can colloquially suck it.
