Senators understand constituents’ needs

Reading Michael Belle's column on Student Government, I found his comments regarding the shortcomings of district senators to be highly misguided. If Belle is looking for evidence of district senators' awareness of issues within their ZIP code, he need look no further than the Student Senate's recent resolution supporting the annexation of the area around Southwest 20th Avenue.

"It's keg, keg stand? Is that what it's called?" Patricia Telles-Irvin, vice president of Student Affairs, asked as she began explaining in an interview on Sept. 24 why the phrase "keg tipping" was included in the proposed changes to UF's Student Honor and Conduct codes.

Volunteers don’t avoid McCain supporters

I couldn't help but laugh at the editorial submitted Thursday by Michael George about voter registration volunteers avoiding him because he was wearing a McCain-Palin shirt. It's entirely possible they did not pursue him because someone with enough interest in the election to own a shirt featuring the name of one of the candidates may be more likely to have already registered. It's also possible that in the crowded Turlington Plaza area, they simply missed him. Either way, it's irresponsible to allege a conspiracy based solely on anecdotal evidence.
