I don't know this…but I'm assuming FAU can't afford to subsidize another trip.

Extremely unlikely that they would subsidize another trip to Texas. SGA doesn't like to be thought of as people sitting on a pile of money but it's early and therefore it's a good time for projects like this. I'm glad they're making these kinds of decisions (trip to Texas) with the money because the students really dig it.

Maybe other people feel differently because of their experiences lately but it seems to me that Student Government has really righted the ship after the way it used to be.

Opinion:
Student Government in 2002 - 2004 was great. Under the leadership of Pablo Paez and Ancel Pratt (presidents in 2002 and 2003 respectively) the prOWLers were formed, trips to USF and UCF were planned for football games, a trip to UCF for the women's basketball trip was delivered to the students, students were at all the playoff watch parties and at Bethune Cookman playoff game for football, etc. etc. etc.

Then there were a few years scarred by secret pay raises and a book voucher scandal.

SG in the last two years has really turned things around and are truly serving the student body.

And in an effort to reach complete objectivity, I was in SG in 2002 - 2004, lost an election in 04 and in 06, and wrote some of the investigative pieces that nailed SG in 04 and 05.

Pablo wasn't president when that happened. And I don't think that was ever truly proven….

Along these lines:

It did happen in the late 90's…for the life of me i cant remember who was Pres. back then, but a nasty article was written about one of the SG Officials, and low and behold all of the stands were raided…

Funny!
