Every time I read the letters to the editor section of your paper, I'm forced to allow Student Government more time in my mind than it deserves. Someone even got closer to the point Friday by mentioning the frivolous spending of money by not only SG but governments in general.

As a first generation American, I have never allowed my father's Lebanese and Arab ethnicity to influence my political views as an American. This has changed, however, in this election. Sen.

In Thursday's Alligator, Phil Kegler insisted that offensive coordinator Dan Mullen was not responsible for the Mississippi loss. While Mullen had nothing to do with the multiple drops, fumbles and the missed extra point attempt that lost us the game, Mullen did call to run tailback Jeff Demps up the middle and for two consecutive attempts into the end zone on the final drive instead of sticking with the quick option slants that got us into range.
