...scene could have passed for a paid advertisement: a barista at a New York City coffee bar informed a customer that the café had run out of Splenda, the sugar substitute in the bright yellow packets. To the customer, it was tantamount to betrayal. "Are you very sure?" he asked, offering to settle for Equal or Sweet'n Low. But all that was left was sugar. The man shook his head (sugar!), pushed his cup back across the counter and demanded a refund...
...proposed OSC is an equal embodiment of futility. The UC (specifically, the CLC) has struggled in the past in providing airport shuttles during recess and cardboard boxes during move-out. To continue to leave services in the hands of a few inexperienced representatives with little business acumen is tantamount to reckless abandonment of student welfare.

We acknowledge that this is a fine line. But a group?...
Winding down is tantamount to failure. Clint Eastwood is 75, and he's not winding down. I think we do that if we haven't accomplished what we want or if our dreams have escaped us. That almost happened to me. Look at Walter Cronkite. He said that his biggest regret was retiring...
