In Tuesday's upcoming Dane County Board Election, no clear-cut candidate emerges as the best representative from District 5, which is composed almost entirely of students.

Therefore, based on our obligation to motivate students, we endorse Ashok Kumar over David Lapidus.
For some UW-Madison students, Associated Students of Madison's handling of this week's election-crippling computer glitch was the last straw. Talk of revolution is in the air, and this editorial board supports such warranted, healthy discussion.
UW-Madison's Student Labor Action Coalition has proven itself to be one of the few organizations on this campus making a genuine attempt to get something done within the red tape-laden bureaucratic system that is student government.
