I was very disturbed to read in Wednesday's Alligator Progress Party Leader David Schneider's blatant intellectual dishonesty. To say that giving the Student Body president the unilateral ability "to create executive orders to create offices, departments and policies" would "discourage too much centralization of one power," as the article stated, is exactly the opposite of what is going to happen.

This is a shoot-first-ask-questions-later policy and it hinges on the idea that the student body president will actually inform the Senate of everything he's doing or has done in a timely manner to give them the opportunity to tell him no. Won't happen. Tuesday night, the majority party in Senate (Unite) voted to centralize more power into the executive, also controlled by the Unite Party. The Progress Party, who supposedly ran in opposition to Unite, had its leadership champion this?

Sounds like Unite Lite to me.
