These renovations have the potential to combat many of the largest deficiencies currently plaguing the student body. In particular, the University should...
...First, we should pause before the gavel is brought down at last and applaud the zesty performance we have been given. The show these two have together provided for American voters and international spectators has been undeniably entertaining. Politicos everywhere have been gripping the edge of their seats for months as they followed the competition like diehard gamblers at a horse race.
