University of California at Riverside. The meeting of the student government. (Thanks to Opinionjournal.com for flagging this one)

At the meeting, the senate also voted to approve a mural to be placed in the Commons. There was some concern voiced by the senate about the contents of the mural.

"I see some pilgrim invaders here," said Elisa Haro, academic affairs director. "It kind of reminds me of my colonization, and I don't like that."

The artist of the mural said that the pilgrim invaders were meant to be Shakespearean actors and that he would try to make that more clear.

Other concerns with the mural included the depiction of white cranes, which the senate demanded be changed to color cranes.

They were also concerned with the lack of a same sex couple depicted, which the artist agreed to add. The senate voted to approve the mural in light of the adjustments being made.

Among other business, the senate voted to approve the newly elected officers of next year's senate.

Great googaly moogaly.

It should be pointed out that this is not entirely a fair representation of the student body. From personal experience I know that student government attracts left-wing dingleberries like crap does flies.

What's really scary is that most of them eventually set their eyes on government positions in the real world. Brrrrr...

As for next years' senators, it is noted with great joy that there are the proper number of minorites, women, and gays. After all, what other qualification could be important?
