Last week, the Undergraduate Council (UC) circulated a declaration of grievances remonstrating against the cold shoulder the administration has turned to students recently.

...Sego landed her blows, proving to anyone that harbored any doubts that she can hold her own against France's most formidable political persuader. In doing so, however, she often resorted to a hectoring tone, serial interruptions and even derision ("Are you wounded?" she asked in dripping faux pity after one exchange) that could turn off as many voters as it attracts. Sarkozy might have come on stronger if he weren't up against a woman - and if he didn't already have a menacing image for many French voters.
