IFTARS and the TANTRUM for a STEAK

BITS managed an iftar at BBQ (though the entry of outsiders for strictly prohibitted, which included alumni). ESF and BASC did theirs at Arena. Commendable efforts in terms that they managed to do it quickly. A definite respite from the usual Rodale and IBA centric events. The student councillors also visited the events. though the tantrum at ESF by S.M. Saeed was childish and unwarranted. As student councillors they need to realize that the student body gets a certain level of indenpendence so that they learn to be responsible. So if the councilors are present it should be to look not to fix problems. and word of advice to the wise. if you want a steak for free, dont throw a tantrum. it doesnt look reflect good on IBA. we are looking for long term relationships with places like Arena and BBQ tonite so we dont and i repeat we dont want to throw tantrums there. They will accomodate us, because we are a lot of people and they need business too. so let it be a mutually beneficial relationship. not of the angry guests.

PHOTOGRAPHY MANAGER

this just occured.  who ever becomes the photography society manager, i ll hand them my flickr account. they can update picture on it. the critics will be honored.

Chopaal Being Used by BITS

Bits is using Chopaal! Great initiative. It’ll keep everyone in the loop. your challenge should be to get everyone to register for it asap. so from the poster being put up i would suggest the student council should go to every class just like they did in electioning and have everyone have themseleves register for Chopaal.

and on part of LUMS, *standing ovation* an awesome job guys

MID TERMS START

The first mid terms for Fall 2008 start today.

Best of luck people

The holiday confusion on first mid term

First there is news that there is a holiday then there is news that the govt took back the decision then follows uncertainity on what will be IBA’s decision.

This has happened before and will continually happen in the future unless the University comes up with a solution to address the problem. I would suggest that IBA has a website it is not at all being used to any potential. The news that should be up there should also concern such events and IBA’s decision.

Another suggestion would be to use the live ID’s that have been given to the students. To email them regarding the decision.

Another suggestion could be to have a partnership with either Ammana or Chopaal and have student registration and to use their network to send out messages to the existing students.

There should be some authentic source which can let the students know, cause frankly speaking this CR calling up concerned parties or the GS calling up people to find out whats going on and then telling it to ppl and to forward the message is becoming archaic. Needs to remodelled.
