My favorite quotes from the report:
“Any time you’re in an election, you don’t know ’til the end. There’s still a lot of suspense, suspense.” Prez-Elect Katy Bowers
“We want the organization to continue. We can’t make [...]
A reporter from Fox 5 News (of Atlanta) is interviewing people for a piece that will be on during the 5 o’clock. The piece has to do with the upcoming vote on SGA. Make sure to watch.
*Update*
A story on Fox 5 ran at about 5:20pm. Hatin’ SGA was on the screen for quite [...]

Josh Weiss took pictures and recorded interviews and some debate from the Demosthenian-hosted Great SGA Debate on Thursday night, and put together this excellent slideshow. My favorite picture:
On the left, SGA’s current VP Matt Suber seems to be watching quite intently, and seated on his left is SGA’s graduate advisor.
A quick update for the weekend.
After Action: Demosthenian Debate on SGA
The Great SGA Debate was indeed great. I was surprised at the turnout, both in the number of non-SGA people there and the small number of SOS candidates that came out to listen to student opinion. I don’t know all the SOS candidates [...]
Tonight is the Great SGA Debate, previously covered here and here.
Don’t forget to come out, tonight, 7pm, at the Demosthenian Hall (North Campus, by the Chapel). Right now there are 59 RSVP’d on the Faceboook event page, so make sure you don’t miss out.
The SOS Party has posted their platform here (warning, pdf). I’ll be putting my thoughts about it up later, but here is a reader submitted critique of the platform:
Advocacy, Advocacy, Advocacy
“Advocacy” has become the buzzword around SGA now as it is preferable to “accomplishing nothing.” Failed to slow or even question the plus/minus grading [...]
In case you haven’t seen it, SGA Press Secretary Jeremiah Johnson (frequent commenter) started a Facebook group called “Keep SGA!” with the hopes of convincing you to vote to keep SGA on campus.
More like conniving students into believing lies:
Without SGA this year…
- There’d be no online Key
Dead wrong!
The Black Tie Party saved the Key. [...]
Some interesting posts on websites for Senate candidates (all from the SOS Party, duh!):

This is from Brendan Wright, Senate candidate for the School of Public Health, seems to be advocating protection for students who illegally download music. Not the smartest thing to do.
Ubani Ukuku wants to SAVE the [...]
The Campaign SOS website is now online (put up sometime after the 10pm that a previous message on the page said).
They don’t have their platform online, but the site says otherwise:
Our platform can be seen on the following pages and we hope that you will take [...]
The Facebook event page for the debate is here.
Again, the debate is this Thursday, 7pm at Demosthenian Hall (next to the Chapel on North Campus).
Here’s the description from the Facebook event:
SGA Vice President Matt Suber will be presenting:
“Be it Resolved: The Student Government Association of the University of Georgia should continue to operate.”
This is in [...]
