GUSA reduces size, ups efficiency

By the end of last year, ten Senate seats had been effectively vacated by elected students who no longer wished to be members. GUSA, in response, delayed expelling the senators and holding the necessary special elections until April, leaving too many students without representation for months. The elimination of some Senate seats seems like an ideal way to nip this problem in the bud because it will invariably cut back on the number of students who can successfully get elected on a whim.

Campus bike racks deserve some TLC

On any given bike rack around campus, skeletons of bicycles past remain chained up––metal frames, wheels and seats long gone, rusting away. These abandoned bikes take up much-needed space on the bike racks around campus, and should be dealt with by the Department of Public Service. Failing to act and get rid of these visual reminders of neglect and theft sends a message that the University doesn’t care about its space or its students’ attempts to get around campus.
