Alex Shoucair, a junior, argues that voting for a joke write-in candidate will do the most good in sending a message to the Student Association.
“What the SA needs a wake-up call. A large number of students writing in a de facto vote of no confidence might be able to give them one. Though years of low turnout and grumblings of discontent have taken a toll on the institutional value of the SA, it has done little to effect the way the SA actually functions.”

The problem with growing up is that there is always someone telling us we are not old enough. And yet, you would think that as young adults, we would finally be over it.
What’s not to love about graduation season? It is filled with senior send-offs, family get-togethers and free food.

As camera flashes flickered over a sea of tassels, two Columbian College of Arts and Science professors urged graduates to cast their fears aside and forge fresh paths to success.
I never understood why people refer to cities as if they were human until I left Sevilla, Spain. My feelings toward leaving my newfound home are so complex, it's as if I am leaving the love of my life.

I think that’s a horrible idea. It’s pretty clear that people dislike the SA. If everyone wrote in joke candidates, at the end of the day, we’d be left with a president that 10 students voted for, and we’d be back where we started.
Look, if it leaves us back where we started as a worst-case scenario, why not do it?
IAWTC.
Also, this joke is unoriginal. Remember “Cockass McDouchbag”? Remember how that was funny for about five minutes?
F for Effort, Mr. Shoucair.
This is so ridiculous and petty. Who is filing these complaints? Get a life, GW, the SA is make-believe and not a real government. Winning you CCAS seat doesn’t make you more likely to be a real Senator one day. Get over yourselves and actually do something when you get elected.
Bad Idea:
And writing someone in is worse than the current system….how?
oops, that post was meant for the story on 40 election complaints being filed
