Weekend Update, Great SGA Debate

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 [...]

Don’t Forget, Debate About SGA Tonight

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.

SGA Press Secretary – Get It Right

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. [...]

Not So Smart Senate Candidates

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 [...]

CampaignSOS Online

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 [...]

Here’s the description from the Facebook event:
SGA Vice President Matt Suber will be presenting:

This is in [...]

Wait, Only One Presidential Ticket

I have now confirmed that the ‘other’ SGA presidential ticket, Bennett Maddox and Tucker Burge Jr., has dropped out of the race.
That’s correct, there will be ZERO competitive SGA races this year.
We can go ahead and crown, even though some already have, Katy Bowers as the new SGA President (so long as SGA will still [...]

No Competitive Senate Seats

You heard correct; this year there will be NO competitive SGA Senate seats. There will be only two competitive seats this election – President and Vice President.
Your votes for Senators WILL NOT MATTER. Rumor has it that there aren’t even enough candidates for all of Franklin seats (I am working hard to [...]

Updates to SOS Party Website

The SOS Party website, which we previously wrote about, is getting ready to kick off the SGA election campaign. The web designer, Allison Weiss, posted a warning about the content of the domain:
Until January 16, 2007 at 10 pm this website is the sole property of… Allison Amling Weiss. Until that date, anything [...]

Demosthenian to Hold Debate on SGA

Be It Resolved: The Student Government Association of the University of Georgia should continue to operate.
This resolution will be presented by someone in SGA, possibly even President Jamie Peper or Vice [...]
