Barry Buckman

Candidate for Junior Class Sec/Tres

Hi. My name is Barry Buckman and I am running for junior class Secretary Treasurer. Recently, while running around YU desperately trying to obtain enough signatures to run in this election, someone gave me an ultimatum. He told me that he would vote for me on condition that I, as Secretary Treasurer of the junior class, would make sure that by next year we had a soda machine on every floor in Muss, Morg, and Rubin. While having this would be really nice, I'm not about to start making promises I know I can't keep, such as having a removable dome that closes off Amsterdam Avenue during the day, getting a subway stop under Morg, or a helicopter that leaves from the top of Belfer and takes you to many New York City landmarks such as Stern. Instead, I'll tell you a little bit about myself and why I deserve your vote.

In reply to: I live in Teaneck, NJ, and went to high school at TABC before attending Yeshivat Reishit Yerushalayim last year. In the short time I've spent here, I've already been in YC, SSSB, BMP, and IBC, so I know a lot about how many areas of YU work. While the ideas I stated in the previous paragraph would be nice, my more realistic goals would include trips, shabbatonim, tournaments & competitions, or whatever worthy suggestions come my way. So remember, when voting for junior class Secretary Treasurer. LEAVE THE BUCKS TO BUCKMAN.
