Crimson White Opinion: Why I'm leaving the Machine

[LucieTheLakie]

But as much as I’d like one, I don’t need a revolution. Even if no one joins me, even if people who once spoke to me turn their backs on me, even if no one whose mind can be changed reads this article, I won’t regret writing it. Because I’m finally doing the right thing. I’m finally free.

The author “is a sophomore majoring in political science. She is an SGA senator for the College of Arts and Sciences.”

There’s this, too, from CW Staff. It’s the lead story in today’s issue of the Crimson White:

That’s the crux of the Machine’s power. That’s the way it maintains its influence in the SGA’s Senate: through innuendo, veiled threats and the looming menace of social exclusion to members of the greek system.

What is the SGA? Personally, I applaud this student. Unfortunately, what she writes about is too common in all levels of politics. Especially here in Chicago, where the Democratic Machine rules!

I applaud this young lady. Good for her. I believe UA is changing, for the better.
