One of the two articles in this week’s Cactus Cafe coverage in the Austin Chronicle, “Rush to Judgment on Cactus?”, quotes Student Friend Zachary Bidner, whose “biggest worry is that the final decision will be rushed through and approved by UT President Bill Powers with a veneer of consultation. [Bidner] said, ‘If [Powers] is going back to the students, which students is he talking to?’”

The other article, “Forsaking the Song, Part 9”, quotes Vice President for Student Affairs, Juan (Dr. “J”) González, who said “The Cactus Cafe lives on! … The hottest, most sought-after tickets in town ought to be the Cactus Cafe.” The article then cautions, “Hold your applause.”

"Saluting the press: Andy Smith (l) and Griff Luneburg talk outside the April 21 forum. 'This is a private conversation,' Smith said. 'I did not agree to be photographed.'"

Well, guess what, you fascist jackass: While in public you have no presumption of privacy.

Maybe at the Texas Union you can impose a rule about nobody filming without your permission (so that they don't catch you running away like a cockroach exposed to daylight as in "University. Inc."), but don't try pulling that crap elsewhere.
