Ever wish that College Council’s shuttles could bring you somewhere you actually need to go? This past weekend, Emory students were in luck! As a special Valentine’s Day excursion, Emory’s oldest government association used their hard-earned charter money to bring all the lovebirds a place they could actually benefit from after a steamy night of St. Valentine’s romance: Planned Parenthood!
“The main goal of these shuttles is to unite the student body,” said College Council’s president in an interview with the Spoke. And it seems like everyone must have gotten some Tuesday night, because unity is exactly what this shuttle achieved – frat brothers, pre-med students, and English majors alike boarded the shuttles to visit the famed clinic. An Emory freshman even recognized a familiar face from her QTM 100 section among the group of protestors harassing her outside the facility. To no one’s surprise, however, one student demographic was absent from the pool of sexually active students: film majors.
A campaign against STIs and unwanted teen pregnancies is definitely an initiative that the Emory administration can get behind. Experts are still debating whether an unborn fetus would skew the institution’s acceptance rate, but Greg Fenves is certainly willing to invest funds into never having to find out. “A baby without a resume or SAT scores has no place at this prestigious university,” Fenves announced in his recent podcast episode.
Finally, a student government organization creates a program that students actually support. Perhaps the days of College Council yoga events are behind us, but there’s no way of knowing until next weekend.
