Capping

Capping

Dear Sir,

I was disturbed to read the words of our 'Crapping Controller'—Steve Underwood.

He gave a snappy little review of the happy times had by all who gave it a go. This was ok, but the thing that bugged me was the tail end section where he stated that:

'Financially, Capping made a few hundred dollars for the Association. I hope some of this will be used to provide more social functions at a reasonable cost.'

This statement immediately infers that the Association made money out of Capping and this profit could possibly be used to subsidise more socials—Jeeze!

I wish that man and people like him could get themselves together.

Students are already paying through the nose to join the Association and that organisation is still milking the unsuspecting deadheads up here.

What's wrong with the Association shouting a bit of free piss or selling it bloody cheaply anyway, just once a year.

Other universities place a premium on this type of activity and it seems that with all the work piled on at the moment the students here have forgotten how to have a good time.

I say next year, $1,000 to Blow on Capping would be fair.

Before we get trapped by the 9am to 5pm how about a bit of encouragement in the art of enjoyment, because just looking around, I'm bloody sure 99% of the people here look as if they have forgotten.

Yours,

the Instigator.
