Can we actually discuss this "UCLA students can't fill their own bars" thing, though? It's relevant, I swear. Think about it this way: the
200% increase in tuition since 2008 affects most, if not all, of the 39,593 students (this number includes graduate students) at UCLA. At most, I'd estimate there were 150 students protesting on Wilshire yesterday, and that's being generous. That's significantly less than 1% of the student body! Surely substantially more than 1% of total UCLA students are affected by, and likely upset over $2.5 billion in upcoming budget cuts to the UC system, right? So where are they?
I'm not saying more drinking would help UCLA students organize themselves better, but I
am saying that when almost 20,000 undergrads can't fill three medium-sized bars on a Thursday night, it doesn't bode well for your student body's chances of organizing about anything else, either. Get it together, nerds.
