william:
	I expect most CUPE members are as legitimate in their motives and
goodwill as are other people. But as with any large group,
there are a few whiners. These few had placards admonishing against
privatized hotdogs, and appeared a tad short of goodwill, as they were
actively campaigning to eliminate the jobs of our happy hotdoggers.

  
and from before:

    The tubesteakers created their own jobs without displacing others. They
work for every penny they earn, and are cheerful and courteous. It's fun
to go to their little carts, and students line up for them even in the rain.

Many people believe hard work, innovation, job creation, and services to 
students should be encouraged, or at least not outlawed. To the UBC
Administration: Please show us that you agree, and invite the tubesteakers
to remain. It may not be the easiest, but it is the right thing to do.
