The student government at ASU has the power to influence decisions made in regard to fee increases and how those fees are utilized throughout the University. However, are student government members given the same say when it comes to decreasing fees?

Imagine you feel a serious sharp pain near your stomach. You’re alone at your apartment, roommates won’t be home for some time. You text a friend for advice. Their reply: “You might want to go to the hospital.” This is not an option for you. You don’t have insurance, and the bill could push you even farther into debt than the $15,000 you’ve taken out to get you through senior year.

Before I begin my column, I want to note that this is not an attack on past or present student government officials, but rather a critique of an important process, that in my opinion, students deserve a larger voice in.

Tuning into CNN, I watched Democratic strategists discuss how they need millennials to vote in order to win. A repeated phrase that feels more cliche than your grandparents asking you at Thanksgiving what you’re doing with your life (answer: we have no idea).

In any election, there are a variety of reasons a candidate loses. Whether it’s low turnout, domestic situations, or an FBI director who re-opens up a case days before the election.

For students who normally don’t associate with the politics of Undergraduate Student Government, understanding the complications and intricacies can be overwhelming. In fact, looking at recent elections, we have seen awful turnout numbers. Despite strong campaigns, and higher than usual turnout numbers, the overall percentage of students voting is terribly low.

On April 7th, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey signed into law a bill that would allow parents to take money out of local public schools and use it for to private education, often called 'vouchers.' It was a somber day for Democrats, and even the Republicans who opposed it.

“So, to everyone who voted, I want you to know that I hear you. To the two-thirds of voters who chose not to participate in the process yesterday, I hear you, too.”

Anyone who is a millennial has probably heard at some point that they are “the worst. generation. ever.” as the HBO hit show "The Newsroom" once shared in its first episode.

A question that has persisted over the last few weeks for me has been "why?" Why give up the delicious convenience of a burger or the luxury of a lasagna pasta dish? What about late night tacos or early morning burritos?

For the past year, current student government executives have been working on a plan with campuses across the state, the purpose being to develop a new organization that can lobby on behalf of students.

I listen to people every day talk about “wasteful spending,” and how they believe money can be spent more wisely. It can feel good to say you want to get rid of waste, but that doesn't always make it the right decision. This was a very relevant topic during many of the student government elections in the latest election cycles, as numerous platforms talked about cutting wasteful spending in student government. I think these conversations can bring out plenty of intelligent ideas to help make money go farther, but we have to be vigilant to not let the idea of cutting spending get to our heads.

I remember sitting in the gallery of the Arizona State Senate nearly a year ago, watching arguments — it must have been around 5:30 a.m. (the perfect start to any spring
break of course). The state Senate was debating a $99 million cut to universities. They needed 16 votes for a majority to pass the cut, and I
remember watching as the number on the screen turned from 15 to 16 ‘ayes.’
16-13-1. That was the final count. Since then, university affordability for students
has continued to be an issue.

Millions worldwide gather in churches to recognize their Christian faith on Ash Wednesday, as it is a time to reflect on one's individual shortcomings. I was one of those individuals who sat inside a beautiful cathedral in Arizona for Catholic Mass. But as I reflected on something that happened this past week, I became increasingly unsettled by the sheer lack of respect for the secular community.
