This article initially appeared in the March 23 issue of The Campus newspaper.
While this article is good, I’m disappointed in the lack of coverage on the other contested races, VP of Senate, and Social Sciences, as well as the Vice-President of SAC position. Making informed choices is key to making democracy work and people often depend on the media to help inform them. I know another paper will not be published before the election, but hopefully something this newsworthy will merit an article on MediaOCU before then.
