Democracy yes?

Plenty of news about the people we have put in charge this week!

First of all, I would love for all of you to read about what our beloved chancellor has been up to!

And I would like to give kudos to our new student government president and vice president elect: Scott Asbach and Nate Schultz

Please check out the Pointless issue this week to see what may happen in SGA, or is it what we wish would happen?

Just as an FYI, anything writen in the Pointless is strictly satire and parody and gives us a chance to exercise different styles of writing. We appreciate you reading!
ENJOY!

Just spreading the word...

I would like to extend a personal invitation to you or a representative from your organization to attend an informational meeting about Relay for Life. Relay for Life, attended by over 200 UWSP students, staff and faculty last year, is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Relay is an active, fun-filled overnight event featuring campsites, theme laps, tournaments, contests, games, entertainment, food and prizes. This is a wonderful opportunity to promote group bonding as well as make a contribution to the UWSP and Stevens Point communities. If you and your organization are interested in celebrating cancer survivors, remembering those we’ve lost and fighting back against this disease, join us for a meeting on Sunday, March 8 at 7 PM in DUC 378.



I hope to see you there! Please contact me if you have any questions!

Brain Damage SPECIAL EDITION

This Brain Damage is only special edition because it is featured exclusively on The Pointer's blog...here!

- Al Capone's business card said he was a used furniture dealer.

- Gilligan from Gilligan's Island had the first name of Willy which was only on the never-aired pilot show. The skipper's real name was Jonas Grumby. It was mentioned once in the first episode.

- A group of owls is called a parliament. A group of unicorns is called a blessing. A group of kangaroos is called a mob. Who comes up with this stuff?

- When doctors in Los Angeles went on strike in 1976, the daily number of deaths in the city dropped 18 percent.

- Celtic warriors sometimes fought their battles in the nude, their bodies dyed blue.

- There are mirrors on the moon. Astronauts left them there so that laser beams could be bounced off of them from Earth. These beams give us the distance to the moon to the centimeters.
