Your School, Your Opportunity

Don’t miss your chance to make a difference. All candidates who wish to appear on the ballots during student council elections must turn in the required number of signatures by Friday. Positions are available on the YC, SSSB, SOY, IBC, and JSS student councils, and on the Junior and Senior class boards.

These are positions for student leaders.

We have heard a plethora of student complaints about our institution. The time has come to put up or shut up. If you see a problem that you would like to solve or that you think you know how to solve, instead of constantly griping about it, take action - run for a position.

Last year apathy reigned and students were left with few or no options. There was one candidate for YCSC president, and most other positions had only one or two candidates vying for them. Student interest in having more than one candidate for a given position is regardless of whether that candidate is the best person for the job. A second candidate will help both campaigns address the current issues on the minds of the students.

Remember, change is not instantaneous. It is a long and ardurous process. However, as an elected student leader, you have a year’s worth of opportunities to remedy the ills and to the improve upon the good.
