Most students can only daydream of being able to spend millions of dollars.But for one group of students, that reality is all in a year’s work.Student Government exists solely “to serve the students at Louisiana State University,” and these elected representatives “control … student and state funding to support student initiatives,” according to the group’s Web site.It’s your money they’re doling out. Instead of trashing pushcards or ignoring candidates approaching you, take time to educate yourself on whom you’re electing this spring.The Daily Reveille is here to help you do just that — today, we launched the 2010 Student Government Election Coverage portion of our Web site, lsureveille.com, to more easily inform the student body of what’s at stake during this election. On this part of lsureveille.com, you’ll find not only all of the election stories from our print product, but also complete profiles of the presidential and vice presidential tickets. View each ticket’s pushcard, or watch our “On the Issue” videos, which show responses from each of the executive-branch candidates when members of The Daily Reveille asked questions about everything from tuition increases to the controversial class gift project. Furthermore, this election marks the first in which The Daily Reveille is providing coverage of every candidate for every position. Every college on campus has an individual president, vice president, secretary, treasurer and senators. These candidates are racing to be your voice and to represent the average student while tackling issues on the local college level.We’ve invited every candidate for every position to answer a five-question survey about their intentions and plans for SG. Reading these answers on the 2010 Student Government Election page will help you learn more about the candidates representing your college and how the candidates will work to improve your daily life. Not every candidate has responded yet, but we will post answers as quickly as candidates reply. The main candidates also spoke live on KLSU 91.1 FM with reporter James Haralson last week, and audio from these interviews as well as from other election-related radio pieces are all also on this election page. Such a large pool of candidates for many positions in SG can make election season overwhelming to the average student voter. We’re here to give you the information you need to know to make informed decisions about whom will best represent your interests. The candidates run the gamut in backgrounds, policies and ideas, so make time to visit lsureveille.com’s 2010 Student Government Election Coverage page to find out what candidates can do for you. Even if you may be apathetic about SG, it’s here to stay, they’re spending your money, and, as their Web site says, “SG touches every part of student life on LSU campus, both in the spotlight and in the less known spaces where University policy is created.”- – – -Contact Nicholas Persac at [email protected]
