David's Controversially Timed Scribe Letter

Dear Editor,
My name is David Williams, and I am a first time, Student Senator in SGA. I had two campaign slogans last election, they were “why not?” and “what’s the worst that could happen?” Though these campaign slogans might indicate that my attitude regarding SGA is somewhat nonchalant, I assure you that my reasons for joining are serious.
Like many of your readers, I became aggravated with some of the ways things worked on this campus. I was tired of our bookstore taking advantage of the students by having outrageous prices, and than having the audacity to put some “price matching” crap on a few books to show they have low prices. Do they think we’re idiots? I was tired of our parking sitiution [sic]. The majority of our students are full time, not only for school, but work as well. It is wrong to have an expensive price for parking (especially if one is only paying to have an opportunity, or chance, to park) while knowing that the students have a tough enough time just trying to pay bills. By the way, next semester, parking prices go up to about two hundred dollars.
These are just two of the reasons that motived [sic] me to join our student government. Over the past school year I’ve found that our government doesn’t like to try and tackle those heavy issuses [sic]. I believe that SGA is more concerned with saving face with the administration, rather than telling them to screw themselves (when needed of course). I joined to fight for students. I believe [sic] that SGA can be used for more than just giving away money to clubs, and a forum for which some administrators speak.
Now I’m not saying that our current government doesn’t care about the students. I personally know that our co-executives and many of our Senate members have done a lot for our students. But more needs to be done and positive changes need to be made that will effect all the students and not just some.
With that I, David Williams, am formally announcing my candidacy for the Presidency of the Student Government Association. It is my hope that the students and our government won’t go quietly into that gentle night.
