To the Editor:
Opening my email after class, I found an invitation from the Undergraduate Council of Students to share a meal with President Christina Paxson ("Admins discuss diversity at UCS meeting," Oct. 11). The chance to sit down and get to know our new president is a fantastic opportunity, but I was immediately turned off from the idea when, reading further, I discovered I would have to "like" the UCS Facebook page. When did UCS become some sleazy gameshow that needs to get its ratings up, requiring contestants to plug it constantly? If they had requested some sort of feedback or survey I would happily comply, but mandating that everyone use Facebook in order to be included in this opportunity is frustrating to those who dislike the company and entirely irrelevant to the decision of who should actually have the opportunity to dine and chat with the president. I can't imagine that President Paxson, in giving this opportunity to UCS, envisioned them using this event for what amounts to petty bribery.
