Ahoy Me Mateys,

Tha tuition and fees battle done bae draw'n ta a close. First Mate Hinton and I done had our exchang'n o' words with tha chancellor and it done seemed ta go quite well. Tha final recommendations ta tha board o' trustees from tha chancellor I've not yet laid me eyes upon. All tha same me lads and lasses in a weeks time tha board will hold its gather'n and these issues will bae discussed.

On this coming day o' Woden tha soon ta bae admiral o' tha university system, Erskine Bowles will grace us with his presence at tha chancellor's liaison. Tha students attending, if given tha chance, will present ta Admiral Bowles what we done admire about this here port. We will also express our stances on tha recent loss o' monies from parking, "free as practicable," and diversity at our port.

We bae push'n ta have our mighty fleet o' Red Terror ta bae a permanent addition ta this here campus. We bae hav'n words with transportation about how much it would cost ta have it bae a permanent feature at this here port and we bae wait'n ta hear from them. They said it twould bae do able but us lads in student government would haves ta put forth tha financing.

Community service under tha wonderful lassy Jennifer bae in full swing. Preparations for service Raleigh have set their sails and Nightwalk bae approach'n and me one good eye says it bae look'n quite swell.

Tha ASG freshmen retreat was held this weekend and seemed ta have gone quite well. Our own Bobby Mills was called out for his swagger and debonair presence at tha retreat. With that said as ye mateys done know we won tha national call in and rightfully so. Thoes of ye who cared not ta send ye words still bae look'n ta do tha hempman's dance. But ye'v one chance for redemption. We bae hav'n a letter writ'n contest for thanks giv'n ta our legislatures for what they've done… done for us Ye can comes by till tha 17th of November and create ye missives. Gives thems ta matey Bobby or leaves them in me box.

And for tha veto... Har har ye scurvy dogs ye fell for it! That was funny laugh or ye bae swimm'n home!

On a more unfortunate aside Jason Moody has been fired... out of tha cannon and off me staff.
