Thinking back on his experiences as a student leader at Tulane University, Eric Couper, the Undergraduate Student Government vice president of student affairs, identified a disconnect between himself and other student leaders.

Undergraduate Student Government has appointed a Greek council head to represent fraternity and sorority concerns.

Dear editor,
I was disappointed to learn of Evan Sparks' Feb. 25 letter to the editor regarding notification of Undergraduate Student Government elections.
Sparks took it upon himself to ascribe his dissatisfactions to specific students instead of recognizing the scope and complexity of a problem for which no one person or group can be held accountable. Sparks negates his […]
