Reader urges students to vote independent

I try not to get too involved in Student Government politics; it makes your head spin after awhile. But after reading Wednesday’s letters, I have to ask the question: Why are the current SG officials (i.e., the Unite Party via longtime Student Sen. Matt Michel and Unite operative Dana Summerstein) so threatened by the up-and-coming reformers?

Global Gators

UF freshman John Rohde speaks to representatives about a study abroad trip to Chengdu, China Wednesday afternoon on the Reitz Union Colonnade. The table was part of the 2010 Study Abroad Fair. Students who took the first step to becoming a “Global Gator” were able to speak with staff and students who have been abroad, as well as with representatives from approved study abroad programs to learn more about studying overseas.Dana Burke, Alligator
