Ryan ChartrandI wanted to say thanks to Warren Baker for agreeing to another salary increase. He does such hard work raising funds for our school; I always thought he deserved more money.
It’s no wonder he’s received awards from Far West Region of the Council for Advancement and Support of Education. My mom always told me, “The longer the name of something is, the more important it is to people who don’t know what it is.” By the way, Baker, have you ever thought about show biz? It seems like you could be a shoe-in for the next host on “The Price Is Right.”
There are two reasons why he deserves a raise. One: When there’s a surplus, the best thing to do, is to give it to the few. I mean, why give more money to people who complain all the time? It makes more sense to give, say, five people a $20,000 raise rather than 200 people a $500 raise. Two: We students get a pretty good education for what we pay for, especially with those old, three-time-retiree lectures. Never mind all the fee increases. We brought those on ourselves during the last student fees election.
To Connor Johnson: I would be more inclined to watch the State of the Union Address, rather than American Idol, if there were some kind of interactive process. Maybe if I could text in to vote for my favorite end-of-speech presidential joke about national security.
