Nagesh should show his voter's card

Apr. 3, 2008

Although I am hesitant to render an opinion on such a silly matter, there seems to be an obvious answer to "Nageshgate." Though Student Government often seems a lot like play government, it is a part of the overall civic process. So the question in determining where Nagesh truly is in the civic sphere should be answered by his voter registration card. If he is part of the civic network at one location in terms of every other level of government, it should carry over to his participation in Student Government. Has someone asked to see Mr. Nagesh's voter registration card or checked with the Alachua County Supervisor of Elections Office?

Partisan politics distract from duty

By Thomas Cockriel | Apr. 2, 2008

Student Senate reporting needs to be more representative of Senate's business. Wednesday's article referencing the call for Senate President Kellie Dale's resignation was an example of irresponsible journalism; a higher degree of integrity needs to be used when reporting on senate meetings.

The recent furor over the way China handled the Tibetan riot only highlighted the wide cultural gap between the Western World and China. From an ethnic Chinese point of view, the Tibetan uprising violated two extremely important rules of social conduct within the Chinese society.

Party takes back seat in SG committees

By Kellie Dale | Apr. 2, 2008

I began my term as Student Senate president excited about leading a two-party Senate that would exercise dynamic debate to create fresh ideas and new perspectives for the student body. In order to accomplish that, however, I believe its necessary that we consider senators not based on their party affiliation but rather on the ideas and goals they have to improve the University of Florida.

Late-night comment was out of line

By Chelsea Fiddyment | Apr. 2, 2008

I don't watch much television, especially late-night shows. Conan, Letterman, the whole bunch - I just don't find them funny. But worse than all the others, in my mind, is Jay Leno. Though I shiver at the thought, I could sit through a Fall Out Boy concert in its entirety before I could do the same for "The Tonight Show." To top it off, Leno is so lacking in wit that his only apparent back-up is bigotry.
