“Life is totally different now,” the understatement of the year from former SAG member Oleam Shankspeare. When we last heard from SAG, Shankspeare, rAndy Johansen and Robby Tiller were struggling to survive a harsh winter, and dealing with the backlash of student fears regarding their presence at the Campus Centre. Asked how they managed to pull themselves out of the gutter, Tiller responded “the sustenance and never-ending nature of the Campus Centre cookie jar was key. That, and student loans. We’ll probably have to pay for that later, but we can always hope for a clerical error.”

Johansen described his new life as “utopian,” saying “I eat least one meal a day now, if not two or three.” Additionally, Shankspeare and Johansen now have girlfriends, and while Tiller does not, he said he is “playing the field” and “has a few good leads.”

Asked if they plan on giving back to the Campus Centre community, their unanimous response was “Do we have to commit right now?”
