Ezra is running a legitimate campaign, meaning that he has not been endorsed by Mackee, which is what you were implying. As for the Ezra not showing up to the budget approval meeting, I’m sure that doesn’t mean that “he didn’t approve” of the budget. That simply means that he could of had some other difficulties in attending the meeting. This is undetermined and there may be a personal reason. Ezra may have a history of bad attendance and if so, then he should not be voted for.

Mufasa, you seem like you have EXPERIENCE and knowledge of what happens behind the closed doors of ASI meetings. Why don’t you run for office and show what you would do if you were running?

And as far as Ezra goes, what’s legitimate about running on NOOOOOO experience? He claims he’s on the IRA committee, but I heard that he wasn’t asked back to be on the committee because he had poor attendance when he was a committee member. I also heard he didn’t approve the 2009-2010 budget that was passed by the Senate because he didn’t show up. Wow.

Ezra Payton is not running for the presidential position. He is running for VP of Finance. If Mackee does endorse Ezra, then we should be taking a stand against him too. But so far, Ezra has been running legitimate campaign.

Don’t you get it. ASI has NO power. None. Nada. ASI won’t get the parking structure built. It can’t. The university administration, NOT student government, controls what gets built on campus. At most all ASI can do is “urge” the university to do it.

Why does ASI exist? To help fund various student activities. It help fund Recreation-Intramurals, the student clubs and the Childrens’ Center. It also helps out the Athletic Department financially. It has in the past given money to Madden Library to extend library hours.

New blood comes in every year starry-eyed with great ideas. Then reality sets in. They learn how little power and money ASI really has. The best thing ASI does is give students an exposure to “politics”.

PEDRO would be a disaster for the university if him and his coalition were elected. Some of the candidates on PEDRO are running unopposed so they will be elected without any real fight for the senate seat. PEDRO also wants to build the “bridge to nowhere” on Cedar and Barstow and not the much needed parking structure. To add to the list of problems, Tom’s wife is the women suing Fresno State after being fired.

Jessica Sweeten is just part of the old business as usual. She is still friends with Mackee Mason and probably would do anything for her dear friend. I haven’t seen any real reform in the ASI since she has been there.

Jaz Kamboj has been relatively unknown in the student body but I met the guy when he was campaigning in front of the pub. He’s an Indian guy. Kind of reminds me of Bobby Jindal.

The fact remains that ASI has very little power to change much of anything on this campus. They can attempt to influence decision making over in the corner office at Thomas Admin as “the students’ voice.” But, that’s it. Any “promises” made by any candidate or slate have to evaluated with this litmus test.

Haven’t seen any crime reports in the paper lately. There was a rape last week just off campus at or near University Village.
