Editorial: Vote shows student opinion, will the administration listen?

April 5, 2012

Along with the Student Government Association’s elections for president and executive vice president, students were presented with the option to voice their opinion on increased recycling, a more sensible drug policy, better sign-in technology, a revised guest policy, tuition...

Letter: Peter Petrin and Nick Naraghi are natural leaders

March 28, 2012

Leadership is often thought of as a uniquely individual characteristic. While this is true to some extent, I am a big believer that leadership in large organizations requires teamwork by senior management. For this reason, I plan to vote for Peter Petrin for student body president...

Letter: Chartwells unionization a potential problem

March 28, 2012

There are two major problems facing the Northeastern community. The first is that the subcontracted dining service workers from Chartwells are being intimidated, threatened and assaulted on our campus. This is nothing other than disturbing. The second issue is the reaction to...

Letter: CBA should add non-academics to senior exam

March 28, 2012

It’s a Tuesday morning in late March. I walk into my 9:50 a.m. Strategy in Action class (for you non business majors – that’s our senior capstone). Instead of meeting with our groups to work on our projects that involve making strategic recommendations for the futures of...

Editorial Column: SGA should just dissolve already

March 28, 2012

Don’t take this the wrong way, Student Government Association (SGA), but you are worthless. This isn’t really meant in a derogatory way – I mean that, as currently incorporated, you have zero worth to this university and its students. Negative worth, really, as Northeastern...

Editorial: SGA is right to cut personal paychecks out of their budget

March 28, 2012

The Student Government Association’s (SGA) reasoning for paying executive board members thousands of dollars – $29,351 total – every year is weak at best. Executive officers, the explanation goes, cannot find part-time jobs because of how many hours they put into SGA...

Letter: Stephanie Wright backs Nick Naraghi

March 23, 2012
I’ve seen him in the role of a hard worker and a creative thinker; I’ve known him as a trustworthy confidant and dependable companion; I worked with him as a motivated hall council president and an inspiring global student ambassador (GSA); and I’ve also shot pool, listened to music, watched movies and ordered late-night pizza with him as a regular college student, just like me.

Letter: Courtney Rainey Backs Peter Petrin

March 22, 2012

We meet again, Student Government Association (SGA) presidential elections. Like many others, I appreciate the programs and events that SGA sponsors on campus, but I also have my reservations and criticisms. I am also sure that many of us, because of past complications, are fairly...

Letter: Ashley Caron backs Terry MacCormack

March 22, 2012

If there is one concern I’ve heard from students about the Student Government Association (SGA) throughout my four years at Northeastern, it is by far a concern about how confusing it is to understand, or a concern for how much work is done that is actually a benefit to...

Letter: Roby’s dubious handling of the hockey team

March 22, 2012

As an alumnus who proudly advocates for Northeastern, I am dismayed at the course of our athletic program. The recent hockey season was nothing short of a disaster. The Beanpot was an embarrassment, and failure to make the playoffs inexcusable. The successful midwest away games,...
