<p>Hey guys,
Im trying to help a friend take a survey and I was wondering if you guys wouldnt mind giving your opinion about student government and more importantly if you felt aptly informed about the last elections. Do you think the elections shouldve be conducted differently? Did you know enough? Not enough? </p>
<p>any opnions/comments would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>Personally SG does not do enough to inform the student body about whats going on. I am one of the few students that is informed about most things going on in SG, but I had to actively seek to get information. I bet most people dont even know when senate meets. The reason most people in SG/senate are greek is that their bro/sis tells them about it. The bro/sis will also pick them for positions. For example, accent has been run by a bro of the same fraternity for the last 5 or 6 years. Most people did not know who was running for the election. I know most, if not all of the greeks have their bro/sis turn in their "I vote" sticker, so most of the elections are one sided. I personally think elections should be done online and when they vote they should have a bio of that candidate. I also think SG is doing what the students think/wants. For example, we use to have unlimited printing in the SG lab but then Moseley decided to change to 250 per semester. Stupidest idea. I dont know for most, but I used 80% of that for lecture notes for my first exams. For most I think its about having a resume builder so they can get into law school. Did you know that the prez, vp, and treasurer have salaries; its ~$6000 up). But yeah I have my issues with SG.</p>
