"Everything looks good," says Megan Green, President of the College Democrats, about Academy Award-winning filmmaker Michael Moore's upcoming visit to the Bryce Jordan Center on Friday Oct. 22.

The thing is everything might not look too good to some students who won't agree with the partisan politics that Moore will discuss at his appearance.

And let's tell the truth. Moore will most definitely discuss politics, and more specifically the upcoming presidential election.

Some students will not agree with Moore's extreme message.

And those students, all of them actually, will be paying for Moore's speech. The University Park Allocation Committee (UPAC) is giving $23,000 to the College Democrats, of which $15,000 will go toward Michael Moore's speaking fee.

UPAC allocates funding for speakers, when it believes that the speaker can benefit students and create a valuable out-of-class experience.

But, UPAC won't fund speakers who are running political campaigns.

Doesn't this create a bit of a conundrum? It's in this language that many people may be angry over Moore's visit. Moore may not be running a political campaign, but he most definitely will be talking about politics.

And whether you believe in Moore's George W. Bush denigration or don't, UPAC may have used funds in a gray area, which may set a precedent for later speakers.

One can't really argue that Moore's speech won't be an interesting out-of-class experience. He is a best-selling writer and an award-winning filmmaker. It's sure to create a stir of controversy. The fact that Moore is coming here may be a diverse experience for some students, and the university shouldn't specify what a speaker should say.

Yet, it seems that UPAC was too easy to give in to the College Democrats' demands, and we all know that UPAC runs out of money by January.

Is this a waste of student's funds? Well, probably not exactly, but we need to bring the issue of UPAC funding to light.

Could Michael Moore's hefty fee affect Movin' On? Well yeah.

So basically, anything that comes later in the year may lack funding because the College Democrats are getting Michael Moore into the Jordan Center.

Maybe UPAC should start dividing funding throughout the year, so it fairly distributes funds to all students.

This gray area could be a spot of criticism if the College Republicans get a chance to host Rush Limbaugh in the spring and doesn't have enough to fund him.
