Beginning today and running through Wednesday, a referendum will take place on whether the Undergraduate Council term bill fee should be raised from $20 to $40. The voluntary term bill fee has not been increased in over 10 years, leading to a situation in which the council budget is well below what it needs to be in order to properly fund the multitude of student groups while providing campus-wide events and services like Springfest and the Thanksgiving and winter break shuttles.

The group exists in order to assure that queer students will not be silenced...

Well, hopefully the state politicians do, but often it is the mayor and city council that bear the brunt of the people's wrath. They are, after all, the most convenient politicians in sight--easily accessible and personally known--they, more than any other elected officials are supposed to fight for their constituencies. A senator or representative is more affiliated with their party, whereas many local politicians like...
