Your Turn: Signs needed for bike riders
May 17, 2009While riding my bicycle home from my Italian 113 class in Gordy Hall on a sunny Athens day, I decided to stop in at Campus Sundry for a cold beverage. I was leaning my bike against the cement block outside when a meter officer came running across the street toward me. She was breathing heavily and looked angry, as if someone stole her precious ticket-giving machine. I quickly learned she did not lose her machine after all and began demanding identification from me. She then punched out a $20 violation for riding my bicycle on the sidewalk and pointed to the nearest Bicycles Prohibited sign, if you could even call it that. It only makes sense to me that if Athens Police are ticketing bicyclists, who in a split second cross from private property to public property, then the signs prohibiting where you can and cannot ride bicycles should be kept visible. Who really knows when they go from on-campus to off-campus in this small-town campus? Am I alone in feeling this way?

Your Turn: Riots show disrespect for school, Athens residents
May 12, 2009It breaks my heart to see current students tearing apart the town that I love. I attended Palmerfest as an undergrad; my husband's band played it during our senior year. We get it. We understand what it means. What happened this past weekend, however, is shameful and contrary to the spirit of the fests.

Your Turn: iOU more than so-called 'dynasty'
May 12, 2009I'm a candidate on the iOU ticket for Student Senate. Last year I was the Birthday Party's candidate for Vice President. I'm now running against many of the people I worked with this time last spring. I have the utmost respect for Will Klatt and Molly Shea, but I want to say something about the labels that have been put forth. The claim has been made that iOU, which is currently campaigning for seats on next year's Student Senate, represents the same kind of failure that previous Student Senates have achieved. I refute the claim on all points. Notice the word failure is in quotes. Putting that word at the end of a sentence ignores the successes that the Student Senate has accomplished this year; much in the same way that accusing someone of being a social climber, without knowing anything about them, ignores much of the good that individual does.

Letter: Unite! aims for true student representation
May 12, 2009I am running for vice president of Student Senate with the Unite! ticket, and I want to express my appreciation for people on both tickets. Although some cheap shots have been taken during the Senate debates, members of both tickets have generally remained civil. I am encouraged and impressed by the amount of dedication and passion demonstrated by both Unite! and iOU representatives throughout the campaign. Whichever party you choose to vote for, I encourage everyone to have an informed vote, as both parties bring excellent qualities to the table.
