We're bigger, we're better and size DOES matter. =)

Oh and I just checked the faculty cup...it has a few plaques and apparently health sci even won 2005(other years were missing) sooo they have been winning ALOT!

The MSU will be updating the Spirit (Faculty) Cup this year. We just need to let Sarah and Ian gloat for a few days.

Winners have been:

2005 - Health Science
2006 - Engineering
2007 - Health Science
2008 - Health Science
2009 - Social Science

Health Sci won't stay lucky forever, and of course the bigger the better, so I wouldn't be surprised if Science took away the cup next year

Lol Commerce don't really care! It appears as if Rohan was "indirectly" right about the Bar tour! I do know a rep or two; they said that we hardly cheered or did anything aiming towards getting a faculty cup!

There is a highly unaccurate but considerable pattern in the kind of people that choose a certain faculty, meaning it is directly related to their personality and hence their behaviour as a rep! But that's just me being a sociologist once again and it would spout unneccesary controversy from people who aren't in "liberal arts"

But yeah lol Engineering actually won in 06; as surprising as that is given their current carefree/fun attitude to the whole thing! According to my mainfeed that year the Eng SRA Caucus was also apparently the "best"! I wonder what happened since then? :S

p.s: Sara Size Does NOT matter. It is the dedication and committment that matters the most, the SocSci Rep team was actually one of the smallest this year(especially after taking out our members who were also maroons/rez reps and a good number of those who never showed up after being selected!), compared to our rivals HealthSci, Science, Humanities, Commerce and probably Eng; but we ran ourselves to the ground!

Just take a look at the Rep Kickoff at Burridge Gym Photos by T.Brown! That was actually our largest turnout!

Generalizations are never (and there goes a generalization) fun.

I'm in Commerce and I admit that most of the people I saw at Faculty Day weren't that...super enthusiastic (compared to the Engineers which was the only group whose cheer I actually witnessed (I had to leave constantly)), it doesn't mean the rest of our faculty doesn't care.

To clear up some general misconceptions that I've seen floating around the forums and to reiterate that they can't be applied to a whole body of people:
A. Not every Commerce kid is in it because they really care about cash.
They may be interested in a graduate program separate from the areas of commerce and believe that a degree in the subject would allow them to better pursue that Masters.
B. Not every Commie is out for themselves or uninterested in what doesn't provide them with profits.
Studying over 150 pages of chemistry doesn't profit a Commerce major in any way

While I know that these conceptions have sprung to fruition for a reason and do have some basis in fact, it's important to remember that a faculty is comprised of individuals who could be spirited, enthusiastic, passionate and enthusiastic and feel great dismay that this trend is not one reflected throughout the body of their academic colleagues.

I'd only want to earn to be able to:
A. Adopt and/or provide for my family without them having to worry about the financial aspects of life (regardless of if that family was one I am already a part of because I was born into it, or whether it's one I choose to form)
B. To be able to pay for an MD

Speaking of Faculty pride and after responding to the post of an Economics major, I think I may switch into Economics now.

Damn you Huzaifa.
You and your lengthy posts have finally broken my will.

Hmm...I guess that's why someone in Commerce decided to be a Hummer...o.o... Their faculty was not enthusiastic enough for them.
