I find it ironic that The Collegian is chastising SA candidates by saying, “This isn’t high school … Do your research, stay in touch … work hard” when a mere 4 inches above that statement they write that the SA election is Feb. 28 and 29. For those of you who don’t get it, check your calendar – there is no Feb. 29 this year. Nothing like doing your research. Even worse is the ever-so-eloquently worded statement, “The polls open are now open …” which is literally the first sentence in the headline story. I can understand a few typos here and there, but you’d think The Collegian could at least catch the really bad ones on the front page! As a recently-elected SA senator, I’d like to publicly announce a new platform that I think The Collegian will approve of as being “realistic” and “well-researched.” My plan? See how much it’ll cost to have someone proofread The Collegian before it gets published each week so that they can stop embarrassing us with all their “exellence.”
