Presidental Search Open Forum Yields Pentagonal Results
Today the ASUO President Sam Dotters-Katz, and the Grad Student serving on the closed Presidential Search Committee, Max Rayneard, held an open forum for students to voice their concerns and ask questions about the students’ involvement.
Unfortunately, only eight students made an appearance, three of which were from Duck U (the J-School TV news broadcast). Three students aside, I feel it’s appropriate to list the other five attendees, in no particular order: ASUO Vice President Delashaw, Senator Gray, Senator Schultz, an office assistant from the ASUO to take minutes, and yours truly (The Chair of the EMU Board of Directors). Sam, when asked by Senator Schultz, stated that students have a keen ability to smell bullshit, so the most important trait a new President can possess is consistancy.
The meeting, scheduled until 6pm, was done an hour early, and like any responsible journalist/concerned student should, I proceeded to Rennie’s Landing for three lemonades before my 7pm class.
Ossie, I don’t think there was anything spent on the meeting. The snacks were leftover fruit-roll-ups and crackers from the Voter Reg. Sam just sort of totes this box of left-overs… well everywhere. The same box was at Senate the night before this Presidential Forum failure.
I’m thinking it should be “Keggers with the Prezzes to be!”. That’d get people somewhere.
Sounds like a good use of student resources to me!
Nothing. Nothing happened. Probably because everyone that was in attendance is in student government, and has access to questioning Sam anytime they please. We ate some snacks and chatted.
What actually happened at, you know, the meeting?
Oh yea DuckU!!!!!!!
