i wonder what would satisfy them

11/19/2008 5:55:20 PM

I don't see why we should care what would fucking satisfy them.

11/19/2008 5:56:04 PM

^we don't

11/19/2008 5:57:24 PM

so they stfu and gtfo?

lets hope.

all we had to do was to paint over the "hate speech" with some pro-obama stuff (or anything really). but instead, the university makes a big deal out of it, which is exactly what these racist mofos wanted. im not usually for ignoring problems, but this is one example in which i would. let students paint over it, don't make a big deal, don't make the university look bad.

Or, paint it over with Carolina blue that still makes us look bad.

11/19/2008 6:13:33 PM

I am worried again:

They want to "close" the act so that there can be no amendments to it from the senate. This motion would have to be approved by 1/2 of the senate. It is never good when they want to close something and not get any more input on it.

11/19/2008 6:31:44 PM

^you here?

11/19/2008 7:42:08 PM

I don't even think they should have written a letter.

11/19/2008 8:17:47 PM

this senate meeting is just getting ridiculous.

11/19/2008 8:33:53 PM

what's going on? Keep us updated.

11/19/2008 8:46:20 PM

senator adonis tried to amend the bill somewhere around 4 times, several of which were rather ridiculous (including queries to the definition of "or" and "include"). Closed rule was called after amendment #4 or so failed

she has 600 signatures calling for the expulsion for the 4 students. the members of the committee have been added as sponsors.

Roll Call has been called, the sponsor voted against the bill.

11/19/2008 8:49:38 PM

hahahaha

11/19/2008 8:59:31 PM

Roll Call has been called, the sponsor voted against the bill. There are a lot of shenanigans going on. It's humorous, but it's a mockery of how a bill should pass and absolutely ridiculous.

48 yes -1 no(Adonis)-3 abstained

11/19/2008 9:00:56 PM

Ha! They published my letter today. And at least one other dude had the same feeling as me.

11/21/2008 10:12:38 AM

^^ If yours was the "stop John McCain" sign: I thought it was pretty good!

And whoever posted that comic of Jackson and Sharpton wishing on the Wishing Star: that was good too! I posted it on facebook.

Can someone please draft a bill making the use of the free expression tunnel for students only? UNC's campus police trespassed our students for putting NC State stuff on their cubes because they were not students. If they are not going to allow us to retaliate after painting out runnel, we should make our FET for students only.

Well, clearly it shouldn't be called the "Free Expression Wall" but instead the "Currently Allowed Expression Wall."

Haha, I doubt they even wrote it. I'm thinking they just showed it to them and asked them to sign it, or something like that.

I don't think it helps their case though.

11/21/2008 11:00:22 AM

From the technician:

Woe to us, fellow N.C. State students! For the Free Expression Tunnel has once again been covered with messages of hate -- this time from our rivals down the road.

Not content with merely painting their angry epithets, they insisted on taking pictures and publicizing their cowardly blue deed through Facebook and other message boards, leaving no doubt as to who is responsible.

I, as well as any other self-respecting NCSU student, am deeply offended by this. These messages show the greatest insensitivity to all of us and action should be taken immediately. I demand that UNC expel the students involved in this heinous act and criminal charges be brought against them for hate speech. We must schedule group therapy sessions for any of us who have been deeply scared by this event.

In addition, I urge the Student Senate to draft a bill condemning this act and prohibiting any further expression on our wall. Don't those UNC students know that the Free Expression Tunnel isn't actually "free" if you hurt people's feelings?

^holy shit i gotta frame that

11/21/2008 2:30:43 PM

11/21/2008 2:35:20 PM

i grabbed about 10 technicians today, just for that reason. I'm sure people are going to want copies.

11/21/2008 2:54:58 PM

Haha!! Awesome.

11/21/2008 3:06:28 PM

Hmm, apparently it was against the law after all. Albeit, a city ordinance:

"We must protect this tunnel! Print this article Share this article Published: Thursday, November 20, 2008 Updated: Thursday, November 20, 2008 OUR OPINION: Great job everyone -- Mr. and Ms. Wuf are just oh-so-very proud of the job you've done in keeping the Free Expression Tunnel free of Carolina blue. Students woke up to an unpleasant sight Wednesday morning, as a coat of Carolina blue covered the walls of the Free Expression Tunnel. Apparently, we’ve been so vigilant in keeping Carolina out of the Free Expression Tunnel, we’ve let them in just for the fun of it. Letting UNC-Chapel Hill paint the tunnel Carolina blue is the definition of an epic failure. We took back the tunnel and covered it with red paint during the Ram Roast Thursday night. But we can never allow Carolina blue to appear in such a prominent place on campus again. This might just be a good time to establish a new tradition on campus and build a healthy rivalry with a school that’s all but written us off. Adam Compton, senior class president, said students started to stand guard over the Free Expression Tunnel in 2005, which eventually led to the creation of the Ram Roast. As far as the rivalry goes, Compton said the trick is to figure out how to foster it without advocating for outright retaliation. But the consequences of allowing Carolina blue to pollute our campus are dire. Compton said Mr. and Ms. Wuf would “absolutely” cry if the Free Expression was ever painted Carolina blue again. Such a tragedy would shake this University to its very core, and may bring all business on campus to a halt. At this rate though, there is clearly no reason at all to believe N.C. State students could ever allow UNC students to defile the Free Expression Tunnel with that horrid shade of blue. Obviously, we have the home turf advantage here and painting the ever-imaginative “UNC Sucks” is about all that anyone needs to do. But there is no reason to remain on the defensive. We need to take this rivalry to the next level and come up with a creative way to tell UNC that we are ready to reignite this rivalry. This is not to say students should start a European soccer riot in Chapel Hill — but they need to put the as much energy into bolstering the rivalry as they put into defending the Free Expression Tunnel. Just remember this: if you let UNC paint the tunnel Carolina blue again, Mr. and Ms. Wuf will be heart-broken. We must protect this tunnel and need to take this rivalry to the next level. "

11/23/2008 10:16:23 AM

I would gladly let them paint the tunnel blue if we would consistently lay an ass beating on them following it as we did yesterday.

11/23/2008 10:19:49 AM
