Just doing my part

It has been well-reported that The Daily Collegian has undergone financial turmoil, long before the economy broke and Wall Street embraced socialism and welfare.

"We're back on point and making money," editor-in-chief Michael King told The Daily Hampshire Gazette in September, adding that the Collegian had over $25,000 in net income at the end of the 2008 fiscal year. "We're really on our way."

However, we at The Collegian are still far from economic independence, still relying on loans from the SGA that they like to bring up every time we make them look bad - you know, for the sake of transparency.

Well, tonight I was night editing and discovered a bounty of untapped resources in the Collegian Graphics "graveyard."

So I decided to do my part.

"Suggestion: The Massachusetts Daily Collegian should alleviate debt accrued from past unscrupulous spending by selling off its chair surplus," I wrote in an attached memo to "edi-chair in chief" King. "I have compiled our resources for a speedy and efficient liquidation."

I placed the chairs where Mike would find them as soon as he came in on Wednesday. I think this is an issue that should be addressed immediately.

And then I signed it.
