It doesn't make sense to purchase an "industry" clock if its price

without. It all boils down to practicality.. why replace the
recent-acquired clock that served its purpose well in the first
place? What a waste of resources.
The way the purchase/payment was carried out (as described on this
thread and remains unchallenged as yet by pro-counsellor supports)
is disturbing and very shady indeed. Student councillors
are meant to protect the interests of the student body, not
sabotage it. They're supposed to act based on what "the people"
want, not just hurl thunderbolts from the top of Mount Olympus or
get defensive when their usage of a common fund is challenged (ring
a bell?) .
Someone from the JC ought to gather support and highlight
these problems to the relevant authorities at school. It's too late
to change the way the money was spent, but at least it will
accomplish more than sitting around and grumbling.
Speaking of student councillors... One wonders how targa4 came to
be a student cousellor at the school, if there's any truth in that
at all. 
Seems like we've got a wolf
in sheep's clothing here.

: What's with all the mudslinging? 
JC, Poly, whatever - They're just different education
paths to facilitate different learning inclinations of the young -
JC is more theory-oriented and Poly is more practical-based, but
ultimately, success only comes to those are those who can apply a
good balance of BOTH theory and practical in the real world.. and
that's something no school can guarantee you.
To the sensible ones, I appeal to your higher sensibilities
to ignore the brainless flamers.. Don't fulfill their perverse
pleasure of seeing others lower themselves to their
level.[/u][/b]
LOL. MOE cannot meddle in this kinda things one la.
