A Third World Union? You wish
Issue #1345 [Feb 23rd 2006]
Star Letter
Querido Félix,
Allow me to correct a misconception that Felix seems to have regarding the third world and the quality of student life there. I couldn't help but chuckle when I read in issue 1334 Felix's comment that "[Imperial] may be a first class university, but our Union is definitely more third world", as if implying that a third world union is utter crap. If our Union were anything like student life in places like Cali (Colombia), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) or Santa Cruz (Bolivia) to name but a few, the Union would probably have to hire extra security to control the invasion of gorgeous salsa-dancing women that would ensue.
Un cordial saludo
