CAL SUPPORTS CANCER

The Berkeley College Republicans are trying to fight cancer, but the university won’t let it happen.

The Berkeley College Republicans was planning a “Dunk A Republican” event where students pay money to throw balls and attempt to dunk various campus conservatives with the proceeds going to cancer research. They held the same event last year—the organization even obtained special event insurance.

This year, however, UC Berkeley administration officials are forcing Republican to remove the dunk tank for “insurance reasons.” (With less than 24-hour notice.) Just two weeks ago, a University spirit organization had several dunk tanks on campus, with no apparent trouble from the university.

At one point, there was even a mechanical bull on campus. (I don’t know when the last time you rode a mechanical bull on a college campus was, but I’ve got one word for you: dangerous.)

One must wonder: If this were an event to pay for abortions, would the University say “No”? Cancer…now that’s another story. (There’s nothing medicinal marijuana can’t solve, according to some of these university liberal types.)

Some College Republicans believe the fly-by-night university policy is a political ploy in a heated election season.

Berkeley CRs will be on campus today protesting. (Hopefully protesting like civilized human beings…after all, this is a school where they strip naked to protest sweatshop labor Goddamnit!)

Only time will tell…
