ALBO: The Senate's secret success

Over the course of this school year, I have watched as critics of the Senate pointed to a number of flaws that they perceived within the organization. Time and again, these critics, notably the Managing Editor of the Daily and columnists from the Primary Source, use the Allocations Board (ALBO) as an example of what is wrong with the Senate. However, these critics are terribly misinformed about what ALBO has been doing this year. If these pundits had done research and talked to student groups or administrators in the University such as Student Activities, they would have heard a different story. This ALBO has been one of the best in Tufts' history, and has struggled to change a negative image of ALBO that had been formed over the last few years.
