In light of the recent funding blunders made by the Undergraduate Student Government, it has come to my attention that if we are going to end the streak of mistakes made by the group, bipartisan representation must come into play.

I realize that in this liberal education environment, bipartisanship in the student's government may seem a bit extreme and unnecessary, but it seems that there is no other option.

The fact that 16 out of the 25 members on the USG Senate are in the College Republicans lends itself to the impression that some members of the senate have a clear-cut conservative agenda.

This is absolutely the focal point of what is wrong with our senate.

If there is to be any progress to be made in the quality of decisions made by our leaders, a new form of the system needs to be constructed, with both sides of political views intact to have each side "cancel out" the other.

Lastly, the existence of these deliberate agendas demonstrates that some of these representatives are looking to further their own political careers, and not look out for the best interest of the student. Ladies and gentlemen, we put you there, and if you keep up these one-sided political power plays, we're going to remove you.

I put in my application for USG involvement the day this news came out. I suggest to those who want to see some changes made do the same.
