Guys - this is a joke, first of all.

Second of all, I lol'd so hard. Kansan needs more letters like this published.

Orgimmar is the capital city of the orcs. No terrorist would hide in a capital city. Seriously, there are some pretty epic hiding places in the 2.4 patch's new areas. He's probably in one of the new instances.

The tag-line made me think that this would be about some sort of disease.

I was pleasantly surprised - this sounds really cool!

On What it's like

"I guess it's even now, with the United Students endorsement from Student Athletes."

Somehow I think the Kansan holds more weight. I'd assume the editorial board is just a little bit more educated on the subject matter than just "athletes."

About the Gmail veto - If we veto anything that any coalition has touched, than not much is going to get done.

Students come first. If the bill benefits the students, pass it. Representing the constituency is what we're here to do.

About the Sustainability Fund veto - I think KU ATHLETICS INCORPORATED might be able to suffer a, roughly, 12,000 dollar loss if it meant getting the sustainability fund going, which students voted in by referendum. I think that veto was made in poor judgement, as that 12,000 dollar loss from other fees is a little bit more hard to handle.

KU ATHLETICS INCORPORATED profits MILLIONS a year... without a doubt in my mind, losing $0.25 per semester would not hurt them in ANY way. The sustainability fund would benefit students. They voted for it because they wanted it.

Again, students come first. If the bill benefits the students, pass it - we aren't here to make sure KU ATHLETICS INCORPORATED gets an extra penny or two. Representing the constituency is what we're here to do, and educated students across campus abhor this veto.

This is spot on and a great read. I wish more people were this educated on Iraq, and I am really glad the UDK published this.

Hopefully it made people think a little.

On Letter to the Editor: Withdrawal not remedy for foreign policy

I was just defending Tom's intent, and presenting his argument - as he isn't here to do it. I was not advocating or attacking it. Sorry?

And - I think that it does make student fees hard for the Student Body President to control. Much agreed.

Sometimes people like their doors shut because it's noisy out in the main room, making it hard to concentrate.

Just sayin...

On Platforms discussed in Student Senate debate

Posted on March 27 at 6:08 p.m.

I think there is definite confusion.

The bill that Tom Cox proposed would only remove veto power when it is concerning rules and regulations.

The reasoning behind this is that in the US legislative system, any constitutional amendments - which require a 2/3 vote instead of a majority - cannot be vetoed by the President.

Currently in our Student Senate, rules and regulation changes - arguably the equivalent of a constitutional amendment, which also require a 2/3 vote - can be vetoed.

This is an amazing amount of veto power that even the US President does not have. Tom just aimed to get some checks and balances put into place.

I hope that clears up some issues.
