the src and the union are there to help students when they get stuck in the
quagmire of faculty adminstration, to hand out information, publish student
newspapers, run food outlets, give temporary loans etc. - if the university
system was perfect then nobody would ever need to rely on the src/unions to
help them out but because the system isn't perfect, they provide an
invaluable service.  it always amazes me that students bitch and moan about
student unionism then when trouble arises it is one of the first places they
run to for advice.

that said, i disagree with having to fork out money to certain affiliated
groups as part of my yearly compulsory fees, such as the Womens Sports
Association, because even as a member i still have to pay hefty prices to
access equipment and programs. i don't really see where the money goes to
(except to the log cabin they own in thredbo).

you know, i'm sure if i starting to tend towards right-wing views i would be
called a mindless facist....whenever you choose a side on certain issues,
its pretty safe to assume your going to get heckled by the other.
