BY WILL GRUNDLER
When my superiors asked me to write a blog on student life, I immediately quipped, “But if a student has a life, why would he or she be reading Daily blogs?” We all had a good laugh because we couldn’t think of an answer.

Political debates are usually seen as a staple of the election season. Candidates stand before voters, speak up their message, make derisive comments about their opponents and thank the moderator. Then Republicans make a big deal about how great their candidate was and how awful the Democrat was. And the Democrats do the same. All in all, they are a predictable and often pointless affair.

In Erika's Experience: Call your mother
BY ERIKA MAYER
You’re wondering if your mom’s paying me to write this (she’s not). It’s for your own good. You’ll never get a care package if you don’t call. Your friends will be receiving delicious cookies and candy and you’ll have an empty mailbox. Think for a moment about how tragic that is. Nothing is more depressing than an empty mailbox.

Around Campus: The fourth branch of (student) government
BY JEREMY LEVY
I’d like to commend the Michigan Student Assembly for their work last week with the city council’s couch ban. That’s right, someone from the Daily is about to compliment MSA.
