Letter: Fox not best candidate for presidency

April 1, 2010

In the past few years I’ve written to the News fairly often, but this is perhaps most important letter I’ll ever write, as it pertains to events that will affect you far beyond my remaining year at Northeastern. I am writing not as a junior, an off-campus student, an SGA executive board member, or as a fraternity man, but as a student representative who has endured storm and strife to make Northeastern better place. I am writing in support of the presidential candidacy of Vice President for Academic Affairs Amanda Sabia.

Editorial: To vote or not to vote: That is your question

April 1, 2010

Voting for Student Government Association (SGA) president opened on myNeu this morning, and when the results are tallied a week from today, we will not only be looking at which candidate won the presidency, but also whether SGA won over the student body.

Column: Cynicism in college life

April 1, 2010

As the semester is winding down, and as my college experience is approaching an end, I've done a lot of thinking and reflecting of the past five years. Five years in which I truly believe I got the most out of Northeastern. Five years in Boston. Five years of classes, co-op, repeat. Five years of dedication to The Huntington News. And after five years, I've come to one conclusion: Some things will never change.

Letter: Pro-life events make senior anti-NU

April 1, 2010

As a senior ready to graduate in May, my memories of Northeastern have been overwhelmingly positive.

Letter: Sabia offers changes to better SGA

April 1, 2010

Theodore Roosevelt once said, “The man who never makes mistakes is the man who never does anything.” As the contestants of the first Northeastern Student Government “Direct Election,” and as former student representatives that consistently asserted the will of the student body regardless of the consequences, we have done much, and we have made mistakes. Our fear is that the incumbent, Ryan Fox, has not acted decisively to assert the will of the student body.

Letter: Fox boasts experience, achievements

April 1, 2010

Over the past three years through my work in your Student Government Association, I have observed the dedication that Ryan Fox possesses for serving the student body in any way possible. This year as a member of the executive board of the association, I have only seen greater examples of this. Ryan spent many late nights, not only ensuring that your voice was heard in the university budget process but also planning an extensive restructuring process that makes your student government more accessible to you.

Letter: Controversy in SGA election

April 1, 2010

On March 27, I learned that SGA VP for Administration & Public Relations Tim Siclari was engaging in misconduct with the SGA website in an attempt to remove information unfavorable to candidate Amanda Sabia.

Column: Civility uncommon among Huskies

March 25, 2010

I’m sitting at a desk, quietly eating a banana and periodically checking my phone for any new text messages. There’s a girl beside me who is checking her e-mail on her laptop and eating a cup of noodle soup. There’s nothing unusual about the scene, not even the fact that it is set in a classroom amid a lecture. But the normalcy of it doesn’t make it right, and the apparent lack of classroom civility has me feeling awkward and inappropriate.

Letter: SGA advocate speaks out

March 25, 2010

As many of you are aware from last week's Huntington News article, I unfortunately will not be running for Student Government Association (SGA) president. The senate has decided that they will not suspend any more rules or make any “exceptions,” despite the extenuating circumstances. You...

Letter: Abortion dialogue should be balanced

March 25, 2010

During the week of March 15, 2010, Northeastern commenced Respect Life Week. Under the disguise of dialogue, this university has sponsored a political campaign against abortion and the students of this institution who support it.
