Don't worry, we'll set your goals for you

Jan. 1 is generally designated as the official goal-setting date of the year. But, as students, we have devised a short list of suggested goals for various groups and people to consider at the beginning of the 2005-06 academic year:

-- To the Husky football team: Win more than one game.

-- To the new ASUW board: Break the cycle -- serve students, not your resume.

-- To the UW administration: Before restructuring the entire undergraduate education system, ask for studen input.

-- To Howard Dean: Do something -- anything -- worthwhile.

-- To President George W. Bush: In preparation for diplomatic talks with Iran, learn how to pronounce "nuclear" (nu-klE-ar).

-- To Kim Jung Il: Quit blackmailing the world with your nuclear power.

-- To Iran: Quit copying Kim Jung Il.

-- To Washington state voters: Don't even think about voting "yes" on I-912.

-- To the UW athletic department: Stay lawsuit-free.

-- To the King County Elections Department: Start counting ballots for the 2008 election. Maybe we'll finish on time.

-- To female students: No more ugg boots!

-- To male students: No more crooked hats!

-- To The Daily: ... Never mind, we're perfct.

The FBI/CIA/TSA/CoS/Emmert is out to get me! I need to stay anonymous!

We're working on a way to allow this. If you have any ideas, email us.

I think this website is ugly.
