Free Pizza?

Alas, it appears that the OSU Free Pizza group (officially, Students for Free Pizza...sort of reminiscent of Students for Freethought) is no longer. Perhaps it needs to be restarted!

(To those who missed tonight's fellowship meeting, I apologize for what may seem totally random and irrelevant.)

The group is no longer listed among the student organizations on the Ohio Union/SOURCE student org directory. But, to learn about the wonder of this former group, I direct you to this 2003 Lantern article about it here. Considering the whole rigamarole involved in getting a student group registered (with advisers and training sessions, etc.) and the restructuring and restricting of rules regarding funding for groups at OSU, it's not a huge surprise that the group is no longer in existence (especially if they could no longer pay for the pizza with the money from SOURCE), though it is kind of sad.

Darn! How is this not a wortwhile investment for USG?

Free pizza. Doesn't that sound like the most obvious worthwhile investment?

If you have "Big name" pizza with mainstream, popular toppings, it might be too popular if there is such a thing.

If this group were to be revived, my thought would be to promote the local "little guy" pizza company.

You can get Donato's any time you want, but what about Sarefino's? -- Even though Donato's is technically a local company, it's still a major chain.
