Ad Club Drama Ends

This week the Student Senate finally saw the partial funding of ad club. This Oregon Daily Emerald article explains the situation as does this post from a major advertising blog.

After working with this group for so long to fix a problem that was clearly not their fault, it was nice to see that my hard work paid off. The group came in and came out fairly quick which was excellent seeing has how they did everything we asked of them. They raised almost the exact amount we had asked and worked harder than past Ad Clubs have had to work. I think that this is a true testament to how strong the leadership of the UO Ad Club has been. Props to Sabrina DeMartini and Carolyn Bee for working as hard as they have.

Mostly, I think this is the way government should work. You work for and with people. Not to regulate them as if they do not know how to manage themselves. You are just an aid not a king.

This Oregon Daily Emerald post summarizes the meeting in which Ad Club received $3000 in funding. The quote they chose from me is a little out of context but I’m still glad that Ad Club is going to compete.
