Pastor's message contradicts Bible

Minority parties' efforts show true courage, virtue
By MATTHEW CLARK | Sep. 29, 2009Two days ago, during the clusterfuck of Student Government elections, I had two dissimilar but equally disturbing events occur that I thought explained how voting results were so systematically banal, year after year.

Transparency will boost participation
By JUSTIN WOOTEN | Sep. 28, 2009I was extremely satisfied to read the Alligator's endorsement of the Progress Party Monday after all of their actions surrounding transparency. When I was on Turlington Plaza last Thursday, I got to see the Progress Party candidates sign a pledge to put their voting records online.

Stickers encourage voters
By Ryan Weiss | Sep. 27, 2009Friday's Alligator contained a four-paragraph diatribe concerning the distribution of "I Voted" stickers during Student Government elections. How can one be so petty? We have students trying to ensure the safety of the community, to save language programs and to allocate money to student groups, and you go after stickers? Those of us in Greek houses know that it is not "coercion" that goes on, but rather encouragement to vote in SG elections. With such a small percentage of students voting in these elections, it is shameful that you resent Greek participation. Sen. Gary Benedix, you seem pleased with yourself that you "have it all figured out."

Obama to decide fate of Afghan War
Sep. 27, 2009Former Secretary of State and retired four-star Gen. Colin Powell met with President Barack Obama in the Oval Office in mid-September to discuss the looming question of what to do about Afghanistan. While no one can be certain of what the two discussed, questions from the so-called Powell Doctrine probably floated around the room.

Pizza place will be expensive
By Ahmed Jorge | Sep. 27, 2009Aramark opened new food facilities recently in the Reitz Union, one of which tripled sales records from the one it replaced. They knew the novelty of these new places was going to attract people, even though the prices were comparatively high. They knew this, but they didn't lower their prices to the state's standards until people started complaining. Why did they agree to lower their prices so fast and easy? Is it because they know they were charging too much? Now Aramark seems to be keeping up with its business strategy. Aramark is advertising that it is going to open a new pizza place, which there are none of right now in the food court. One must wait and see how high the prices for the first couple of weeks are going to be. I wouldn't doubt they are going to take advantage of the absence of a pizza place around the food court and start with higher prices until customers start noticing again.
