The Alligator forgot the most important choice voters face in its editorial: the Senate slate.
The Alligator’s endorsement of the Reitz Union referendum has me at the edge of my seat. I read the Alligator daily and recognize it as the primary and most knowledgeable source for everything going on on campus. For weeks, I have read about the proposed student fee to repair and renovate the Reitz Union. I heard the potential price but wasn’t aware of the potential results. The Alligator Editorial Board has pulled the rug out from under my feet and made me think twice about this issue.
Campaigning during this Student Government election season involved a blend of traditional approaches and new campaign tactics.

After a very, very long afternoon in a sauna — we mean office — of niceties from politicos in training and conversation after conversation about the Reitz Union’s renovation and expansion, we’d like to present you with our spring 2010 endorsement.

Earlier this afternoon I learned of the new lows campus politics can reach at our university. As you may know, our campus was polluted today with a hateful and bitter message.
During next week’s Student Government elections, students will have the opportunity to answer three referendum questions while they are at the polls.
Student Government senators are leaving nothing to the imagination.
“It’s time.” That simple phrase means more than just a great video produced by the Student Alliance party. It represents a fundamental change from politics as usual in Student Government. When 80 percent of students do not vote in SG elections, it’s not hard to wonder why they feel SG is out of touch at best and disingenuous at worst when it comes to hearing student voices.
Why does the Unite Party get so outraged whenever it is criticized?
Ryan Scott’s letter to the editor Tuesday stated that “as much as changing the name and logo of a party can be aesthetically pleasing, it doesn’t hide the fact that the party is Orange and Blue 2.0.”
The Editorial Board always loves when it gets the chance to call Student Government out on yet another thing it’s done that is stupid and completely useless.
A war of words between the Unite Party and the Student Alliance party is already underway even though students have a week to wait before Student Government elections.
