...closed March meeting marked by childish bickering and ineffective leadership, the council’s Student Affairs Committee convened and endorsed a bill to increase the fee from its current optional $35 to a compulsory $100. Proponents clearly thought it better not to consult constituents—at least not formally through a student referendum—as they undoubtedly feared an unreceptive student body. If not for the actions of some outspoken and appalled representatives, the move would have tripled the budget of an organization that has yet to prove itself as entirely efficient or in tune with students?...
...Uncomfortably tossing and turning till my legs get twisted in and bound by the sheets") or funny (June 6: "I gagged while brushing my teeth ? expelling red wine, venison, fillet mignon and hand made sausage?the color scheme was actually kind of beautiful?") Kochalka has a kind of childish charm - he draws himself as an elf with buck teeth and pointy ears - who finds magic in moments the rest of us would ignore...

To be fair, the decorum at last night’s meeting returned to normal. But before the student body votes on the fee hike in a referendum later this semester, the council should consider whether its recent behavior imparts confidence...
...interview with chat-show host Andrew Denton last year, Hogan confessed his disdain for acting. "It's a rather childish pursuit," he said. "'I pretend I'm someone, and I'm, you know ... really good at pretending.' And I don't sort of get on with people who polish their craft and go to the edge of the envelope and take it a bit too seriously." Watching Strange Bedfellows, you wish he'd pretend a bit more - loosen up and have some fun. Because his eyes are beginning to lose their twinkle...
