Complaints of bias undeserved

Shannyn Schott, an alumna who should have been labeled as such, should spend more time reading the Alligator and less time venting about "liberal bias." When did supporting school vouchers, limiting affirmative action and advocating for higher SAT and grade point average requirements (instead of need-based testing) for Bright Futures become causes célèbres among liberals? Never. Schott is either to the right of Genghis Khan or doesn't understand the political spectrum.

Lazy students must grow up

I read Vincent Massaro's Monday column, and it pretty much made me ashamed for my generation. How does a senior get off with never having a committed job or any real-life experience? I applaud his late but much-needed realization that he should grow up. However, I'm disgusted that anyone could be this lazy.

The time is now for environmental action

In case you didn't realize, climate change is a pretty big deal. So big a deal that Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to raise awareness about global warming. He shares the prize with the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Virginity too important to just give away

I read Colleen Shea's column Friday, and she wrote about how she is a college sophomore and still a virgin. So what? Still having your V-card is not something to be ashamed about. I just got married this summer. I was a virgin until my wedding night.

SG works hard: Alligator unfairly bashes

Remember the time when you wanted Subway, but you didn't have any cash on you, so you starved? I do. Thankfully, Kevin Reilly changed that with "tangible results," and now Gators can use their credit and debit cards on campus. And didn't you give Student Government a LAUREL for their "tangible results" when it installed more blue lights on campus? Do you know who the chairwoman of that committee was? Kellie Dale. While her friends were out having fun, she was doing walk-throughs on campus with the University Police Department.

LSU fan apologizes for fans' misconduct

I would like to apologize to UF fans, your football team and staff and Tim Tebow on behalf of the city of Baton Rouge. The classless things done (the cell phone incident) and said (I'm sure there are too many to say) are not a representation of Louisiana State University or its fans.
