Marni ShermanCampus Action Committee Chair“Basically it’s important for students to have a say in how the elections process goes.”

Shi LoAd Hoc Committee Chair“…It has to do with how you’re A&S fees are spent … That’s the reason vote for a government anyway. They should vote because it makes a difference for the future of the school year or the future of the school in general.”

Jenna SereniSpeaker Pro-Tempore“They should vote to have their voices heard in the legislative branch of [Student] Government, which deals most closely with their needs and concerns. More of a hands on experience with student government; it’s the branch that’s most tangible to them. It’s the part of student government that affects them the most.”

Chris MackHouse Speaker“Why should I go through all the hassle and trouble of being a representative and maybe even then go through the hassle of becoming speaker again, when I have no power? … It doesn’t come down to whether we want it, we the students; it’s whether they want it. This is a familiar thing I’ve been saying it forever … Even if we want to give the police department money for a legitimate reason, for any reason, we should be able to do it, provided it’s not unethical, illegal, immoral or fiscally irresponsible. We should be able to do it right? … To be honest with you, it doesn’t matter if I want in here or not, nothing gets done unless they’re on board with it … there’s no reason to have a Student Government anymore, because Student Government isn’t Student Government anymore; it’s a cash cow for Student Affairs.
