 Hi, I'm Alexandra Gianna Mason. By now, you may have heard about the fence being constructed around Chancellor Dirk's University home, an endeavor that will cost the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars and further partition the chancellor from the rest of the UC Berkeley community, both figuratively and literally. Since news of the plan first broke, students and faculty alike have been asking the same question, is this really necessary? I have a better question, is it enough? A fence isn't soundproof, which means the chancellor might still be forced to hear the complaints of his disgruntled student body, and members of the public will still be able to stick their fingers through the fence, an unthinkable invasion of our chancellor's privacy. That's why I'm proposing the Chancellor Dome, a giant glass dome that covers the entirety of the UC Berkeley campus. The Chancellor Dome will allow Chancellor Dirk's to block even more student walkways and spend even more taxpayer money on things that provide no measurable benefit to the student body. Furthermore, the Chancellor Dome will allow Chancellor Dirk's to walk around not only in his home, but in every building on campus, without fear of having to answer terrifying questions like, why can't my student group get funded, or why are university executives receiving raises in the midst of steep tuition hikes? Safety has always been a concern in Berkeley, especially in light of the recent string of thefts and muggings that have affected so many of the students here. That's why it's so important that you give money to this project. It's trickle down safety. The more money we spend protecting our chancellor, the more safety will trickle down to the students. It just makes sense. So please, don't hesitate to contribute to this project. If you pledge just $13,000, the Chancellor himself will send you several impersonal emails over the course of the semester. Just enough to remind you that he still exists and is getting paid a lot. Crown jewels, fancy cakes, the button from deal or no deal. For years, mankind has protected its most precious belongings under glass stones. Now it's time to protect our chancellor. So let's band together and give Dirks the dome he deserves.
