Scratch That- Do Not Get Hyped For Gull Fest 2011!!!!!

The following email was composed by the Salisbury University SOAP Club. Props to them for trying to get the word out! But they forgot an important detail-

THERE WILL BE AT LEAST 10 POLICE OFFICERS ON HAND LOOKING FOR ANYBODY WHO MAY HAVE BEEN DRINKING.

Please compare and contrast the SOAP Email from the one sent out by our own SGA:

Hey fellow students! Sea Gulls!
It’s that time of the year again; we’re all gearing up for another fun and exciting Spring Concert! Did you know, it has been over five years since we have been allowed to have the concert out on the intramural fields? The last time it was held out there, unfortunately some students got carried away in all the excitement and our concert privileges were revoked for a year. Now that we have shown to the community and administration how well behaved we can be during this annual event, we are back on the intramural fields this Sunday. We want this to be the best Spring Concert ever held at SU, but we need your help to make it happen! This weekend will be a perfect time to show our Sea Gull Pride without ruffling any feathers. We all need to make good decisions, be respectful of others, and do our best to have a good time without hurting our nest. The Student Government Association has faith that we will RoCk ThE fLoCk while still being **model** Sea Gulls.
See you Sunday for some good, clean, high-flying, fun!
The Student Government Association

"Good, clean, high-flying fun?" SGA...is it lonely back there in the 1940s? Do us a favor, Glanz- instead of blowing smoke up our asses with all this "wholesome values" crap, say something useful, like, oh I don't know- there will be 10 police officers waiting to round students up like fish in a f-in barrel!!! We hold you accountable Julie, because you knew about it. You were there for the meetings. And in not telling us what was coming, you helped the city set us up. Et tu Brute? Et tu?

Compare the SGA's snake in the grass excuse of a letter with SOAPs. Notice the difference in tone...and honesty:
