Let me step on my soapbox for a moment. I'm glad to see that the Students' Association is finally on the ball when it comes to representing the true interests of UH students. Too long have they wasted their time with trivial matters like how student fees are being spent while neglecting things of real importance.

Recently, they introduced a splendid new measure in their efforts to give UH students what they really want. Due to the heated controversy over the soap in campus bathrooms, the SA has established a dedicated e-mail address (uhsoap@hotmail.com) which will allow all students to express their views conveniently. At last, there will be an end to the protest marches and dreadful riots between liquid and powder soap users.

Along these same excellent and concerned lines is their program to develop a campus creed. Finally, the masses of students bored with singing the fight song and alma mater of our glorious university will have a new way to express their gushing school spirit. 

I myself, a loyal UH attendee, have composed my own creed as a suggestion to aid the SA members in their fight against campus apathy. It is in the form of a haiku:

So remember, when you vote in the upcoming election, remember the current members and their stands on important matters. Rather than wasting time on important issues like campus parking or trying to make sure the library is open at least as long as there are classes going on, they fight for things important to us, something which can't, unfortunately, be said for all the new candidates, whose supposed "improvements" would likely only result in the total disarrangement of everything that makes UH so very special. And we all know that change is bad.

Thus, personally, I would like to applaud the SA for the wonderful job they've been doing, and congratulate them for looking out for my and other students' interests. It's about time we had some consistency in the soap in our restrooms. Good job, guys!
