A bureaucratic nightmare of 32,211 words
Nobody set the minimum page count of the Exec’s second quarterly reports of 2021 at seven pages, but they chose to write that much, anyway. We read through all of them to let you know who’s doing what. Points were given exclusively for brevity, because that’s the only thing we can appreciate at this point in the year. It’s not that this stuff isn’t important, it’s just long and filled with acronyms. Haha words go brrrr.

Drop for Good a success, OUSA Exec sets impossibly high standard
OUSA’s O Week Drop for Good initiative kept thousands of items out of landfills, and put them back in student flats, where garbage belongs. The event also made $5,400 for OUSA, according to their meeting last Monday.
“So much of this stuff is high-quality,” said Emily Coyle, Administrative Vice-President. She said that in addition to providing cheap, quality supplies to hundreds of students, the mission of the event was to highlight how much waste is generated during the annual mass-exodus from North Dunedin, and how much of that ‘garbage’ is actually in perfectly good condition.
