I congratulate Allie Conti for venturing outside her comfort zone, but I am disappointed as to how little her horizons were truly broadened. While her observations as to the United Pentecostal Church may be accurate (I've never been there), expanding her generalizations to cover an entire denomination based on one visit is sloppy.

I was dismayed to read the misrepresentation and misinformation in Kyle Robisch's Friday column. Representing the Fall 2007 Progress Party as pompous and not distinguishing it from the new Progress Party is intellectually dishonest. And certainly, Robisch must have noticed in the past year or so the partisan bickering between Orange & Blue and Gator, now Unite. The butting of heads was clearly displayed during Wednesday's presidential concluding remarks, Sunday's debate and many other times.

Even as a naïve freshman, I have already been exposed to far more Student Government politics than anyone would ever want to know.
