Resignation of Publicity Officer, Reps to Compulsorily Attend OB and More (6th MSC Meeting)
For some, six is a ominous figure. For MUSA, it marked the beginning of their second semester. (Editor’s Note: If you have any interesting suggestions to introduce these meetings after summarising them for about five times, I would really love to hear them.)

BlindGate? Meh. BRT Subsidies? YAS (2nd MSC Meeting of 2018)
The usual time of Friday evenings when MSCs are usually held on had to be rescheduled as both staff and students on campus were terrorized by water disruptions.
