Undergraduate enrollment for Spring 2010 is 12,075 students (link). That's quite a difference from “nearly 14,000.”

At what time were these pictures taken? How many pictures did you take for sampling and comparison?

Nearly 14,000 – 12,075 = You have to be kidding me…

Please, you both know these events suck.

The event was from 10:00pm – 2:00am. These pictures were taken from 10:30pm – 11pm. The statistical analysis based upon the scientific survey we conducted that evening will be posted shortly…

“ASUN redistributes funds from the apathetic to the annoyingly active.”

What does that even mean? Are you dissuading students from being active participants in their community? Do not bash those who want to be a part of the school. I sincerely doubt that a campus without any social activities is a university worth going to. While I agree that cutting back on activities is necessary for the progression and protection of the university and its programs, I think that this cause is a waste of time and rather than pitting students against each other, we should be working together to protect academic programs from being cut instead of fighting fire with fire.

Do not act like you are speaking on behalf of all of the students; it's clear you have a very specific agenda.

You don't have to take money from other students to be active participants in your community. You can enjoy social activities without forcing others to fund them. Stealing from other students is not a virtue.

The figure is inflated about 16 percent. That's significant.

It seems like you, like many others commenting on this blog recently, aren't seeing the forest from the trees. Just eyeballing it 40 / 12000 = 0.33% while 40 / 14000 = 0.28%

…now clearly, John's argument isn't that there is 14000 undergraduate students, he just made a simple mistake. No big deal. His argument is that an incredibly small minority of students benefited from an event that was hugely expensive (in fact, more so than our event which drew well over 1000+ people). That's a big deal.

And whereas we were deemed terrible for “wasting” money with our event, not a single peep has been said about this event, which at most, drew 100…maybe 200 people (and that's being generous). I was there from about 12:00-1:00 and it was dead as disco when I arrived. It only progressed to dinosaurs from there…

So, yes, “Alpha Wolf” you are correct, John got his numbers messed up. But it's of such little consequence to his argument as to be a pointless objection. Unless your goal was to add absolutely nothing to the conversation, I don't see any relevance here.

These pictures are cringe-inducing. And I'm a wee bit hurt I'm being lumped in with the not-seeing-the-forest-from-the-trees-people, but only because of who they are… ;]
