Save The MFA Students!
Emily Gould · 10/03/07 12:41PMDid you give already all you could to charities like those Harvard brats' anniversary hotel room, but you still have that uncomfortable pockets stuffed with money feeling? Well, here's your chance to purge your wallet! A group of second-year MFA students in the Critical Studies program at Cal Arts wants to go to the annual AWP conference in New York, and you're their only hope. They've set up a donation website in order to amass the $4400 they "need" for "AIRFARE, Lodging, Conference Registration, Food." And you will be rewarded, not just in karma, but with a special gift! "All donors who give more than $25 to this incredibly worthy cause will be recognized for their generous contributions in the chapbook of student writings, to be distributed during the AWP conference and afterwards in the Los Angeles area." That settles it: Fuck Darfur!
