Student Government should use students over outside firms
By Stephanie Powers | Sep. 3, 2009I am in agreement with Sen. Ben Cavataro concerning the hiring of a consulting firm by Student Government. Why pay $15,500 to outsiders when we have an intelligent and capable student body right here?

Progress Party given undue credit
By Donte Hargrove | Sep. 1, 2009Tuesday's letters to the editor by Nina Martinez and Mark Jaskowski are both misleading and unjustly give credit to the Progress Party.
