Now that SA elections are done and nearly all the posters taken down, it is easy for candidates to take this opportunity to rest on their laurels.

Why I’m voting Sanchez-Sands
The student government elections are upon us. Presumably, if you’re reading about this, you care about such things.

Care about the SA
In between going to workshops, studying for midterms, preparing for the night’s social event, and getting caught up in their own problems, students at the UR do not care enough about student government.
