SG Antics Never End

In today’s Independent Florida Alligator, it is made clear that Student Government antics will continue, regardless of who is in office or what is at stake – and that is good news for someone like me who is trying to publish a trilogy based on the silliness and over-zealousness of SG elites.

This time, a perennial target for bickering (because of the prestige of its directorship and its penchant for overspending), Student Government Productions, the campus entertainment bureau, was at the center of the controversy as Innovate, the Senate’s majority, voted down the Access-backed nominee.

I, for one, think this is par for the course in SG – except that the Senate President (elected as a mediator between the two groups) used his presidential ambitions to play fast with the Senate rules, rather than have an honest debate over the director-nominee’s qualifications. All that is going to do is keep the Senate divided and make his chances slim for an easy election in the spring.

After all, antagonizing the popular and non-elitist President Jamal Sowell is not a smart thing to do if Goldberg wants to succeed him.
