OUR VIEWS: Consensus Opinion

This week was Student Government Week, an SGA initiative to try to reach out to students and reconnect with the constituents that they represent. This worthwhile effort on the part of SGA draws much-deserved attention to SGA’s increased transparency and efficiency this year, while highlighting the areas that need continued improvement.

Urban renovation projects stalled

Where am I going today? To the store, of course, to take advantage of the insanely cheap day-old Valentine’s Day merchandise. I mean, teddy bears holding gaudy lace hearts and gobs of candy wrapped in shiny red foil! All at ridiculous, rock-bottom prices! I’m so there… well; I would be, if only it took less time to get there. The closest store to me on my way home from my co-op commute would be the Publix in Midtown. Well shucks, the closure of Techwood Drive makes it much more difficult to access Midtown from the ever-bustling Connector, not to mention the dense traffic that was already clogging up the city’s roads even before the closures.

Student registration still a necessity

Last week, as many Tech students, myself included, cast their votes in the Super Tuesday primary, I heard several other students remark how they wished they could vote but couldn’t get to their home precincts. In talking to some friends of mine who attend other schools around the state, I found that they had either heard the same thing or felt that they had the same problem.

Tech was never “fair”

The apparent controversy over the cost of a Coca-Cola is easily resolved. Get a lightweight, soft sided lunch box or cooler and stash a couple of cold ones in there with a cold pack when you leave the dorm. A 12-pack of cans is still $5.00 or less at the grocery store, which brings the cost\ right down to around 40 to 45 cents.
