VOTE
Choose your SGA officials today

For the most part, TCU students are not notorious for their participatory nature.

Whether it’s few faces at the Chancellor’s convocation or anything that requires logging onto a computer to vote, apparently we as a student body are not terribly concerned with what happens on our campus.

But, some of you have a chance to redeem yourselves.

Student Government Association elections are today, and historically the voting numbers have been small. Only 1,123 students voted last year, down from 1,758 the year before.

While the attitude toward choosing to vote may be “one vote doesn’t matter,” or “I don’t have the Internet at home,” voting for your representatives is important.

Candidates this year are more determined than ever, with four people running for SGA president alone. And since 48 percent of seniors voted on what color cap and gown they wanted for graduation, we should be able to get at least that percentage to vote in the SGA elections.

While all candidates may seem to be promising the same things (i.e. better parking and food), their campaigns are based on the different ways they’ll accomplish those goals.

The president-elect will be dealing with alumni, professors and a plethora of other people who affect how this school is run. Unless you do not care about any of these issues, you have no excuse not to vote.

Your vote. Your voice. Your school. Your future. Vote today at my.tcu.edu and make a difference.
If this isn’t enough incentive, on top of voting for who represents you, this time you get to vote on who entertains you. SGA has decided to let the students decide on who will come perform next spring instead of hearing everyone complain about the entertainer.
