We at the Daily Tar Hole have been avidly following the conflict between campus group Project Dinah and Student Congress since last week, when Congress denied funding to the group for its popular “I Love Female Orgasm” event.

Student Congress, which ended up with a $15,019 budget surplus this year, used rules that are not actually listed in the Student Code to deny funding to the group and so Project Dinah is suing them (not in Real Life, but in the student Supreme Court. We are still so curious, by the way, about how that works. Are law students the lawyers? Does Chancellor Thorp appoint the justices? Are wigs involved?)

A member of Project Dinah, Alyson Culin, made the situation clear when she said: “I think there are people in Congress that don’t like our program…they are bending the rules in the Student Code to find justification to not give us funding.”

All we can say to Student Congress is: come on! (cough)

Frankly, we’re not surprised that Student Congress does not love female orgasms, or perhaps orgasms in general. From their behavior this past year, however, it certainly sounds like they could use a few.

Although the event might rub Student Congress the wrong way, they should keep in mind that hundreds of students in the past have found the sexual education event stimulating—in January, 500 students filled the Great Hall for the presentation, and ushers had to turn away about 300 to 400 students still waiting in line.

Why does Student Congress give large sums of money to events students complain about, like the anti-abortion display on the quad, and then refuse to support an event students loved and that many were unable to participate in this year?

Speaker Pro Tem Bryan Weynand said the organization only filed the complaint because of its disappointment. We don’t actually believe that but look forward to the climax of this situation.

Hopefully, Student Congress can set aside their biases to give students what they obviously want (isn’t that why they were elected?). The level of excitement for the “I Love Female Orgasm” event is not, in fact, a myth.
