Today's Daily editorial on the TCU Senate highlights two important things: First, the editorial page doesn't understand student government, and second, next year's Senate must change how it approaches student issues.
The editorial highlights a variety of projects linked in some way to one or more senators, but gets a number of things wrong:

I wanted to elaborate on my previous post based on some of the feedback that the issue has been getting in the comments section .

Nearly four years ago in 2006, the Primary Source published its now infamous Christmas carol entitled “O Come All Ye Black Folk,” thereby sparking an intense and bitter controversy that few could have foreseen.

Written by Christopher Snyder Thursday, 29 April 2010 17:35
The pilot episode of The Quad's new humor show, TCWho?, was the third-most-watched video of the TCU presidential election, according to viewing data from YouTube.
The top video was from the Wallis campaign, garnering 1,243 views (many, no doubt, coming because the video was embedded on the home page of SamWallisForTufts.com). The Levine
Logging Out of WebCenter Easier Said Than Done
Written by Christopher Snyder Wednesday, 28 April 2010 01:21
Just when you thought that two TCU presidential candidates plus four referenda equaled trouble...
"Signout" on an ECOM election ballot only signs you out of VoteNet. It doesn't log you out of WebCenter.
After you sign out of the ECOM ballot, go back to WebCenter. (Clicking the link at the bottom of the page doesn't work, btw, until

Representing Communities the Non-Senator Way: Why Referenda 3 and 4?
Written by Christopher Snyder Thursday, 22 April 2010 01:32
The Elections Commission announced tonight that there will be four referenda on next Wednesday's TCU presidential ballot, and two of them have to do with community representatives. (Yes, this contradicts an April 19 Quad tweet that was based on an e-mail from ECOM chair Sharon Chen. We're looking into it.)
