Students should vote to nix "I Voted" stickers
By Gary Benedix | Sep. 24, 2009During next week's election, voters will have the chance to put an end to wasteful spending in Student Government and prevent students from being coerced into voting. The "I Voted" stickers initiative petition campaign I ran this summer collected 1,211 signatures from students who were appalled after learning SG spent close to $1,900 on unnecessary "I Voted" stickers for the Spring 2009 election, even though there were about 50,000 unused stickers left over from previous SG elections.

Darts & Laurels
By The Alligator Editorial Board | Sep. 24, 2009The Department of Darts & Laurels is starting to feel a bit fatigued.

Basically, we miss our moms. If our hectic schedules allowed us to jet home for the weekend, we'd run into the arms of the women who would point us to scrapbooks of our previous academic achievements, take us to Target and buy us some Dixon Ticonderogas and remind us that we're not feral, despite our disheveled appearances.
