But not a drop to drink


Last semester, ASCC President Michael Barrita had a plan to offer free [Yosemite] water on campus.

Pepsi shot that down. How do you make an official free water to all students on campus while Aquafina bottles are being sold?

At the end of last semester, Barrita announced that he was going to put a filter in the water fountain in the Student Center.

Now, the ASCC Cabinet is putting together reports about all the water fountains on campus to get them up to speed.

I remember Barrita saying the free Yosemite water was because of the water fountains being below par.

So why not fix the fountains in the first place? Who will fight that?

Give out free water, corporate giant Pepsi will fight.

And there's the misconception that tap water isn't as clean as bottled water.

Bottled water is tapped water in a bottle, but a lot of people think it really is cleaner.

So I ask, if all the water fountains are neat, pretty and perfect, will people drink from them?
