Creative Piece for the Student Union

Last week we shared our creative pieces for our final projects. Tanja created a presentation that was used during our meeting in which we revealed the Student Union constitution to the student body. She presented the material which featured some of our fliers.
These two were not presented in class:
Grapevine
Mouth

I created a letter head featuring a symbol the Student Union may adopt as well as a piece of satire featured below.

We the Students of Antioch Midwest, in order to form a Student Union, have gathered each Saturday at lunch. No one would disagree that the AUM is a student centered institution with its pyramid structure, administrators making over six figures, and total lack of student activities. Nonetheless, a group of communist agitators and their mindless lackeys have insisted on forming this group to facilitate student involvement on campus.  

It is obvious that the students of AUM do not want academic amenities. Sustainability majors enjoy talking about their field, rather than working in one. New graduates prefer to go-it-alone when entering the workforce rather than relying on the assistance of a pesky Career Services Department. Those student pursuing careers in Academia don’t want to be bothered with T.A. positions.  

If we really wanted such things, why would we borrow thousands of dollars in student loans for a degree from an institution like Antioch? It is not as if we feel pressured by our society to pursue an education in order the get a decent job. We are definitely not  inspired by the success stories on the walls of AUM. Certainly we are not interested in an educational experience that values our individual experience rather than focusing on numbers of incoming and graduating students. We are not impressed by our passionate faculty or the legacy of Horace Mann. 

We chose Antioch University Midwest because the building looks nice. There are no scraps of tape of the windows and doors. We chose AUM because  they decorate their halls with local high school art. Finally, we chose AUM because, it has white Roman style pillars. Despite our satisfaction with this institution, we, the communist agitators of the Student Union, ask that you join our group in order to force unwilling participants to pretend to transform this institution for the benefit of no one at all.
