They're trying to sneak it in on us, it seems. This Constitution is horrible. It has a freshmen caucus-thingie-forum in addition to freshmen reps and separates the speaker of the Senate from the EVP. In other words, it tries to fix a lot of what isn't actually broken within the SA. Instead it is just a massive time waste for both the SA and the student body at large. This election could cost up to $500, which will probably average to more than $10 spent per person who actually will vote.
For more in-depth reasons as to why this new Constitution sucks, I recommend a visit to Logan's SA blog.

You really only think 50 people will vote in this election?
I think I did the math right. You said it will cost 500 or 10 bucks per vote
so 50 x 10 = $500
How is anyone trying to "sneak it in" if the JEC is planning to have a barbecue, send out an info mail, and have facebook adds?
You guys are terrible with these attacks
@ anon #2... By having it in the middle of reading week right before finals?
Nobody ever pays attention to what the SA does, even when the SA is doing good work (Capp, Kroeger). The percentage of the student body that actually participates in annual SA elections stinks.
The constitution is a waste of time and money, and then to shove them into the end of a semester pre-finals?
That's like scheduling a major health care vote on a late Saturday night before a recess.
update. the JEC will meet tonight to confirm the vote is set for Thursday.

The Patriot accepts anonymous comments [unlike the draconian editors at the Hatchet]. However, we strongly prefer that you USE A NAME. Mostly it's because we don't take anonymous comments seriously, but it's also because we hate bullshit. Have a nice day.
