Students need to turn out for this year̢۪s general election

By Collegian Staff • Apr 7, 2008

This week marks the 2008 student general election, which determines, among other issues, who will serve as ASI president and the ASI Senate. Also on the ballot this year is a referendum on the Instructionally Related Activity (IRA) fee, a proposal that would increase the fee from $10 to $80, with $50 of the proposed increase going toward intercollegiate athletics and the remaining $20 being allocated for the titular instructionally related activities.

Thumbs up to the Fresno State football team, who won in the scrimmage against themselves. We think they̢۪ll go 3-0 this spring, and so things are looking good for next year!

Thumbs up to Cesar Chavez Day. Besides celebrating a champion of a good cause, and one that is particularly important to the Central Valley, we were very appreciative of the the three-day weekend, even if other schools in the area didn̢۪t get the same luxuries.

HE JUST SITS THERE. There are literally millions of people watching him at this moment, but it doesn̢۪t seem to interest him. He is hunched over, arms crossed, staring blankly into the camera, as if nothing at all stimulating is anywhere in the vicinity.

I̢۪m voting for McCain

YOU DIDN’T HEAR IT FROM ME. Now, I heard — and believe me I only just heard it — that Barack Obama isn’t prepared to serve as president on day one. Where did I hear it? I dunno. I don’t think Clinton said it. Did she? I don’t think so. I’m just pretty sure I just heard it somewhere.
