The proud, the many, the undergrads

UNDERGRADS HAVE RIGHT TO PROTEST FEE
(The Alligator)

A concerned UF student wrote in to The Alligator today speaking out against those who have stated that undergrads should not have a say in the potential implementation of a fee to fund the expansion of the Reitz Union. I say hear, hear! The graduate population needs to get their collective head out of the sand and realize that, while it may have been easy coasting for them, Bright Futures' policy has changed dramatically since their days as undergraduates. We do not have percentages covered, but rather per credit hour and, for many, that simply does not suffice. We will, just will have to, pay out of pocket for these extra fees. As such, we have just as much right to be up in arms about yet another fee tacked onto our scroll-esque university bill. Plus, we're backing up your cause; take the support graciously. I ponder the audacity of my fellow Gators -- we may be younglings, but we're still worthy of an opinion.
