BooRavo to Grand Canyon University's donation of $125,000 to the Phoenix Fire Department. It's great that GCU is saving the department's drowning prevention program from budget cuts, but it's not so great that city officials see public-private partnerships as the solution to money woes. More business money in government is not a solution to rely on, especially when the business sector in question is known for taking advantage of students and federal aid money.
Last week, The Arizona Republic published a story detailing the Student Safety Task Force and its consideration of banning kegs at tailgates during home football games, increasing police presence and keeping fans from re-entering the stadium.
Bravo to Saturday Night Live's cast for spoofing "Fox & Friends" this past weekend, referencing the popular conservative station's inability to report accurately on the Affordable Care Act.

Tempe USG President Jordan Davis reflects on term.
Recently, we've seen some interesting activity on Cady Mall, specifically the Walk-Only Zones. Beginning on April 1, ASU began giving citations to those who, after a warning, do not walk their wheels through the section of Cady Mall from the Memorial Union to the Matthews Center. The citation is $15, and offenders are required to take a class on bike safety. Upon third offense, they're referred to the dean of students, dean or vice president.
It has truly been an honor for me to serve the students of ASU this past year as the president of the Tempe Undergraduate Student Government. While incredibly difficult at times, making a difference for every student who attends this remarkable school has been the most rewarding blessing that I have received in my lifetime.
The Polytechnic campus is in a very interesting stage of development as it continues to grow and adapt to the required needs of its students and surrounding community.
Serving as President of the Graduate and Professional Student Association has been one of the most challenging and rewarding activities of my life. I am proud to say that teaching and research assistants making less than $14,916 this academic year will see an increase to their salary next year. This was accomplished through the tuition reinvestment as part of the athletic fee that will allow free admission for all students to Sun Devil Athletic events next year, among many other things. Part of the fee money will also be used for a $50,000 research grant competition to support students whose research broadly relates to athletics.
To all of the members in ASASU, I say thank you. I would like to give a huge shoutout of thanks to the members of USG at the West location. We have had an outstanding year, and I am proud to say that I have served alongside each of our members. While being president this year did have its challenges, I wouldn’t change a single thing. The struggles and the successes have allowed us to accomplish many things for our Sun Devil community, and I look forward to serving as president for another year.
Coming into the role of being the Undergraduate Student Government Downtown President as a sophomore has been a difficult year, but a successful one nevertheless. This year, my staff and I have been able to leave a positive imprint on the Downtown location.

On April 1 and 2, ASU will choose its next five student government presidents. There are many candidates running, and we like some platform ideas. On the same thread, we dislike many of the proposals that candidates make. To top it off, this election season, like many others, have some weird kinks that must be worked out.

Sinclair faced numerous charges, including sexual assault and making death threats to a woman and her family, but will instead plead guilty to mistreating the woman and causing her emotional distress. The plea bargain marks the end of a case that could have been a landmark decision for sex crimes in the U.S. military.
