Earlier this week, I posted about the referendum at the U of WO which would decide the fate of the school’s undergraduate bus pass.  Good news: Common sense prevailed.  By a margin of 94% to 6%, the students voted to renew the bus pass deal with London Transit.

More interestingly, the voter turnout for what I described as a poorly timed and even more poorly advertised referendum was about 60%.  The funny thing about that is the UWO Students’ Council elections last month, which are far more publicized and hyped, had about a 34% turnout.  Either students are really into saving money or they couldn’t care less about which of the very similar candidates becomes the figurehead leader of the student government.
