Vote Elias, Coulouris
In the Michigan Student Assembly elections, which began today, three slates of candidates seek student support to fill the assembly's executive positions. All slates have strengths and weaknesses they would bring to MSA. Out of the three slates, the Blue Party's presidential candidate Bram Elias and vice presidential candidate Andy Coulouris are the most focused and have the most to offer the student body.
Aggravation, coffee shop terrorism and social justice
The recent SOLE sit-in at the president's office got me to thinking. I used to believe that student activism, with the exception of burning furniture on Munn Field, was dead. The campus world had gotten too big and the student body had become too diverse and disinterested.
Blue Party plans to improve student life
We have been part of the Michigan Student Assembly for more than a year and a half. Right now, Bram is the MSA Treasurer and Andy's the co-chair of Voice Your Vote, organizing voter registration drives in underrepresented communities and across campus.
Students' Party has solid record of success
We are extremely excited to be running for MSA president and vice president. The opportunity to represent the student body of this University as the first MSA President and vice president of the new millennium is a daunting one, but one that we are prepared to enthusiastically accept.
DAAP is part of national student movement
Defend Affirmative Action Party is running to turn MSA into a fighting student union and a leading force in the growing national student movement. The Defend Affirmative Action Party is a force on the assembly that represents and fights for all students' rights and interests. For us, doing this is not counterposed to the fact that we also specifically represent minority and progressive students at the University.
