Student gov't a 'nuisance'
Published:
Thursday, April 7, 2005
I'm glad to see that Kimball and others in the SCSU student government are learning the tactics of politics. Not only do they push through and approve meaningless referendums (MSUSA Dropped, 12/3/03,) the president of our fine student government, who originally opposed the idea, gets elected to the same organization from which he supported withdrawing.
Another notable effort the student government has supported include removing a monument on our campus because it doesn't appeal to the letter of the social law we learn in the mandated HURL classes. Then there are the Christmas decorations that are offensive. Also, the student organization's budget fiasco (Finance Committee Resigns, 2/28/05) certainly seems to have student government's dirty fingerprints on it.
Kimball and the rest of the SCSU Student Government are both a nuisance and a joke to the university. They waste valuable resources pushing crazy referendums and pursuing ridiculous attempts to censor the university into some sort of social ideal that just isn't reasonable.
As soon as student government decides to address some serious issues affecting the university, then I, as well as the rest of the student body and alumni, will pay attention to them. Until then, I suggest Kimball and his colleagues go and play politics somewhere else.
