You suck It's almost that time of year again. People sell their dignity for several weeks in order to get the honor of sitting in a boring building for many boring hours spending boring money on boring groups until 3 in the morning once a week. I get offered, and accept, a Snickers (TM) bar for my vote (unless a better offer comes along). Campaigners who represent the students' interests no longer feel the need to represent the students' interest in not having to deal with campaigners. Really bad name puns earn votes, rather than stonings. Yes, it's a few short weeks 'till the ASUC campaigns start up. As usual, I'm throwing my lot in with Student Action, which earns the dubious distinction of being "least annoying" in how they spend student fees. Misha should be able to rake in a lot of votes for doing the unthinkable while in office: things. That's something most other candidates won't be able to trumpet. I suppose CalSERVE can say "Hey, we do our best to get the university sued, and we're also Jessica Quindel's collective bitch," but I'm not sure how far that one will fly. Not that the rest of Student Action has much to brag about. Yes, I know what you're thinking: "There's a rest of Student Action?" I sure haven't noticed their existence, either. It's really going to be a matter of "Do people dislike CalSERVE's stint of power enough to vote Student Action?" You could, of course, vote Squelch. They'd do what Student Action would do (hand out money to student groups) but they'd do it while being far less annoying. Or, you could vote for the candidates themselves. After all, who doesn't want to spend the time to become familiar with more than twenty senate prospects to make an informed selection on the ballot? In general, though, *yawn*. posted by Beetle Aurora Drake 3/14/2004 01:40:00 PM # Comments (0) . . .
