I would like to address two columns that were published Wednesday and Thursday critiquing the Alligator for covering the various events of the Progress Party and Dave Schneider.
Though the Unite Party and Progress Party will be battling for office at the end of this month, they both agree that fighting against the implementation of block tuition is a top priority.
As an outgoing College of Journalism and Communications student and Unite Party student senator, I am accustomed to the clash of campus politics and the biannual debate over its campus media portrayal. However, the Alligator’s recent lack of journalistic integrity has morphed the publication’s role as an information medium into that of a politically charged message.
In an article Wednesday about the Student Senate vote on allowing guns to be carried on campus, it was written that Sen. Carly Wilson represents the Unite Party and is in favor of passing the open-carry legislation. The Alligator would like to clarify that while Wilson is a representative of the Unite Party, her views are not the official views of the party.

This might be the “Sputnik moment” the president described in his speech that night.
Student Senate President Ben Meyers formally announces his candidacy for Student Body president to a crowd of Unite Party members Jan 25, 2011 at the Reitz Union Colonnade.
The candidates for the next Student Body president have something to say about block tuition.
I commend Sarah Poser for a balanced article on the allowing guns on campus in the Monday issue of the Alligator. However, Brian Malte’s quote, “The more outrage there is, the more the gun lobby starts to retreat.” The gun lobby is composed of the NRA and Second Amendment supporters. And, “Without a lot of protest, there is a chance the gun lobby could shove it through,” Malte said.
