This week the general election for the student body president and vice president is taking place. Voting started today at 8:00 am and it ends on Wednesday at 6pm. Students can choose between Sam Brinton and Molly McGuire or Danny Unruh and Annie Oliver. Brinton and McGuire are running based on increasing academic opportunities with tutors, making it easier for students to find groups, translating the Web site so foreign exchange students can use it, being more responsible financially by keeping lights off when nobody is in the room and by not increasing the student privilege fee relative to inflation. Unruh and Oliver want students to know what their privilege fee is supporting, enhance the classroom experience by finding out how students want to learn in the classrooms and support diversity programming and the Study Abroad program.
A vote for Sam and Molly = We "might" see some changes that benefit "everyone" but I'm still sketchy about them.Overall, I think they may both suck! I'm not intrigued by the selection we can make this year. I think either way we may be screwed. If Danny and Annie win, the frats/sororities get to rule SGA again, and this will obviously put a big smile on Gayle Spencer's face (Coordinator of OSAS) (I still think she should be FIRED!), but if you vote Sam and Molly, I'm just not sure. They don't seem to "have it" to make a good President and Vice President. Oh well, let the students choose, I'm simply not voting this time around.
