Letter to the Editor: SG candidates must take campaigning seriously to make students care
By William R. Spires | Feb. 6, 2011I am writing with regards to the various campaigns for Student Government executive positions. This year, I hope to see candidates emphasize issues over image and substance over symbol. During my two years at this university I have seen Student Government claim that it is important and that it represents students' interests while complaining that not enough students are involved. The time has come for Student Government to look in the mirror and realize that the reason why students don't take Student Government seriously is that Student Government doesn't take itself seriously.
