“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.
The “Fear Factor” editorial in Monday’s Alligator labeled the anti-abortion Genocide Awareness Project in the headline as “anti-choice ... ineffective, distasteful”.
I am fairly new to Student Government, having served as a student senator representing Beaty Towers for merely a semester. Yet I’ve taken it upon myself to learn the necessary rules and regulations when it comes to elections and campaigning. Evidently, Ben Cavataro has not. A couple days ago, Ben Cavataro went door-to-door in The Estates apartment complex. Going door-to-door is not only an inconvenience to those who live in the complexes, but it is also a clear violation of election codes. Ben Cavataro should know this. Such a blatant disregard for the rules is probably why he was recommended for disqualification by the Election Commission when he first ran for office. Anyone who chronically violates the rules that guarantee the fairness of our democratic process, as Ben Cavataro did, should not be running for office.

The United States is a country that, while undoubtedly a strong and immensely powerful leader in many areas of global society, faces several serious issues as it pushes forward into the future. Beyond issues such as ongoing wars, steady unemployment and reality TV shows giving birth to other, far worse reality TV shows, one specific issue rises above the rest in its level of importance and the amount of immediate action we must take to combat its potential effects. This issue is a growing ignorance by a majority of our population toward confronting and solving the major problems and questions facing our nation today. This ignorance is being supported by an overall lack of resolve and patience, partisan bickering and a tendency for the national consciousness to be distracted and concerned with issues of far lesser importance.
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.
About 20 students put on their poker faces and danced to Lady Gaga in Turlington Plaza Tuesday afternoon.
Wood paneling, shag carpet and a plastic pantry frame the interior of the van-turned-home. To some, the 1994 Ford Econoline is a mere vehicle, but to some homeless people in Florida, it is a beacon of hope.
