Editor’s Note: A portion of this story was removed due to a factual error.Politicians love making promises.Student Government presidents are no exception.Whether it was free “freezie pops” outside the Student Union or credit card access in the Tiger Lair, former SG President Colorado Robertson was never shy about boasting his accomplishments.While Robertson did a remarkable amount of good for the University, his achievements should be placed in the context of his predecessors.Bottom line: He didn’t need to do much to secure his legacy as one of the more proactive SG presidents in our history.Cassie Alsfeld and Michelle Gieg helped Robertson’s tenure by setting the bar for the presidency so low that even a minute program could be spun into a massive success.That said, this board implores current SG President Stuart Watkins to elevate the reputation of SG from the one currently held by an ambivalent campus body.At this point, saying “SG doesn’t care about the needs of the student body” is a needless cliché. This Board doesn’t question the heart or the motivation of each individual in the Watkins administration or the Student Senate. What matters is the creative and innovative use of our student fees. In the face of staggering budget cuts, SG and President Watkins have a responsibility to ensure student fees are being used effectively and not carelessly. Robertson, whether he likes it or not, will be remembered for the SG Class Gift project.President Watkins can do better.He can do more.—-Contact the Editorial Board at [email protected]
