Public Appeal
July 24, 2008

Manhattan College is a fairly small school with students hailing from a wide variety of demographics. On campus, interest in food reform happens to be concentrated within a very small minority of students. Fortunate to have found each other at all, our little Fair Trade/Food Reform coalition decided, upon organizing, that gaining public appeal and educating our peers would be our first challenge.

Full Name
Erin Lynn
Details
I’m a junior at Manhattan College in New York. I am an English and Spanish major and I have worked on my school campus to make our food system more just, healthy, and sustainable. I have also worked to educate my peers about the importance of what we eat and the effects of our food choices as consumers.

Lynn, Erin (MC2010?) is interested in food reform.

[JR: Do I hear "social justice" in there somewhere? And, we have another blogger to track. Maybe I can put some comments in to steer her away from the "dark side"!]]

Get your head out of the gutter. It’s a cell phone, not some type of crazy newfangled vibrating…never mind. I’m not even going to go there.

And it just isn’t any cell phone. It’s a Motorola Q9c equipped with Windows Mobile 6. That’s right, a smartphone.

Oh yeah. Look at that. It’s beautiful isn’t it?

Full QWERTY keyboard, integrates with Outlook, has Documents-to-Go functionality, has email and web service, Windows Media player. And, get this IT CAN MAKE PHONE CALLS TOO.

But I can’t help trying to shake this feeling that it is taking over my life. As I sit at my laptop and write this while periodically looking up to see how the Yankees are doing (Hey, Michael Kay and Al Lieter just started a full blown conversation about Manhattan College’s baseball legacy*) I can’t help but keep the phone within my field of vision.

*** begin quote ***

Matt Coyne is a drunken, dirt-poor student attending Manhattan College. He’s majoring in Communications and concentrating in Journalism. He enjoys a nice glass of beer, melodic hardcore, and a good hockey or baseball game (depending on the season). One day, he will fail miserably as both a writer and a journalist.

—

Some writers start blogs to publish their writing, giving their readers/fans a place to read their jottings. This isn’t one of those blogs.

Of course I’m going to post my work, but primarily, these are my drunken, violent, crazy, unintelligent, and usually terribly written thoughts. This is the content of my mind, spilled out for you to read.

Thanks for reading!

Last week roughly everyone I know graduated from college. I was an usher at the baccalaureate mass and the actual ceremony, and I had to make sure to tell everyone to watch their step, yet half the people did not listen to me and tripped anyway. And now basically all of my Manhattan College friends have graduated. Except Maura. And Christine might as well have not graduated since I will be seeing her everyday of my life for the next year or so. Yay sharing a bedroom. Which reminds me, we’re moving into our apartment next weekend. We need to get our cable/internet set up. Eek.

Click it…
A favor to ask, it only takes a minute….

Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and! click on ‘donating a mammogram’ for free (pink window in the middle).

This doesn’t cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors /advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.

Here’s the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

The Dunes has learned exclusively that some very special visitors are going to be a LaClede Place this weekend!

Old college co-horts of Siobhan’s will be making their way down to the fair city of Atlantic. Melissa Courage and Nick Kapetenakis of Manhattan College fame, are alledgedly coming down this weekend, and thats not all!

Matty Lynch will also be gracing the girls with his presence on Saturday night! Word is the whole entourage will be making a not-so-secret appearance at Game On on Saturday. We were starting to wonder if the girls have given up on their favorite hot spot, glad to hear some things never change!

As always, members of Young Atlantic City, Rhiannon and Tricia will be expected to attend.

Keep checking The Dunes for more updates!
