Flash Love-In at Concordia

As the clock struck noon Monday, Concordians on the first floor of the Hall building chimed the infamous Beatles song about love in honour of Valentine’s Day. The flash-love in as it was called was orchestrated by WHALE, which stands for Wintery Hot Accessible Love-in for Education. As the singing and swaying concluded, the group gathered in for a whopping love-filled group hug. About 25 people showed up to participate. 

WHALE sought to draw attention to the upcoming Concordia-wide Special General Assembly with the flashmob. The CSU called the Assembly to propose a Day of Action to denounce the Quebec Ministry of Education's proposed tuition fee hikes. The SGA will take place at Reggies on Valentine's Day at 11:30am. 

The Concordia University Faculty Association is asking that faculty members do not penalize students for missing class or handing in assignments late due to participating in the assembly.
