Dear editor,
I was disappointed to learn of Evan Sparks' Feb. 25 letter to the editor regarding notification of Undergraduate Student Government elections.

Since Unified Commencement began with Scott Cowen�s first year as president, Tulane has attracted mediocre keynote speakers. In fact, calling them mediocre is generous at best. Attracting big name speakers to Tulane University is extremely difficult partly because we make it that way.
