Whomever said “principals” referring to $2 or $20 or $2K … one day you’ll learn to laugh at the concept of “principals.” I’m an idealist living in a world of people, the majority of whom have compromised their principals. Any of you complaining on this premise … the question to pose to any of you … can you hold true, or will you look back on this one day and laugh, or look back one day realizing the reality of the situation?

$20 is petty. The “principal” of the issue is in question. Beyond that … calls for resignation for something not as egregious as hiring Mexican Strippers and paying for it with student money (when we can hold our own wet-T-shirt contest) is kind of just as petty.

So if we’re going to be petty: let me point something out: I’ve been disciplined, chastised and fired from work environment for trying to hold up high standards, acting petty about these issues, and generally being more competent to “see” thinks like this, on their face, for what they are, and point them out. So if you think the world of “principles” is real … consider the competence of the overall population first (those who would be offended rather than seriously contemplate this question deserve more scrutiny than the rest). And in the end, if you can hold true … you know your a better person … but this is not the case, and most people just roll-over and forget, or have something negative to say about you after you’re gone, and after holding up what’s right and true. Seriously. Kind of sad. And you may wonder why I have this to say, of all things.

No one trusts the collegian anyway, if they write another story it shows.thAt the collegian is a tabloid, who no one trusts other than annie’s 22 y/of husband and second place and fraternity haters!

And maybe “no one” cares to vote during ASI elections because “no one” cares to vote in elections, in general. I don’t think that because there is low voter turnout that that means that ASI is some pointless organization.

It is simple, you broke the law. You gave alcohol to minors. You admitted to it, such is fact. Resign with dignity and you will be forgiven. If our elected officials can’t respect the law, that which you swore to protect no less, how can we trust your judgment in the future?

Please step down.

Section 3.2 pretty much explains it all.
