A Social Experiment of Sorts

Because we’re curious what will happen, here’s what we’ve done. We’ve created another wordpress account, and we’re going to stop blogging for a few days. The catch is that we’ll be making public the wordpress account’s password,  so that any reader of this blog can post to this blog. We’ll be moderating, of course, so […]

Keeping Campaign Promises

Obviously campaign promises shouldn’t be taken as promises. But if we here at HG could hold each of the new VPs (congrats!) to one of their campaign promises, here’s what we would chose: ES: “I would love it if Community Building organized some Saturday night activities, like pizza and a movie or, in warmer weather, […]

Presidential Endorsements

This blog officially endorses…. …Ben Schwartz for President! He will FINALLY bring the long needed change that this university needs. And he is clearly willing to selflessly dedicate himself in service of a cause greater than his own. I know this because I saw him outside the Science Center, holding his humongous “Schwartz” sign, shouting […]

Poll, short blog break

Open thread in the meantime. Also, poll.

More words on the election, but this is prob it for me

I think with this post I may be out of things to say about this (incrasingly dull) election. There are three competitive races–President, ComRel, and S & H. The ComRel people seem to be going out of their way to avoid diffrentiating themselves from each other. They aren’t talking about their differences (though, see my […]

Now to ComRel

First I want to thanks everybody for playing along. Yesterday was by far our highest day of traffic, which means that you guys seem to be interested in this stuff. (And it looks as if tomorrow will break that record, if my internals are correct). Also, thanks to both RG and JJ for providing me […]

Actually, there are some pretty significant differences

When I read the position papers again, and tried to look past some of the nonsense, there are some pretty big differences between these two candidates. RG’s position paper has (as far as I can tell) not one concrete programming initiative that she’s hoping to push through. This reflects her experience on SC, I think. […]

RG vs. JJ

It’s hard to find real differences between the candidates, but easy to find similarities! Here’s a few. Now, before you tell me that this is unfair cuz I left out all that they disagree on…well, tell me in the comments what they disagree on. As far as I can tell there is no disagreement. They […]

Election Coverage

The election is in full gear! Here’s what the media team here at HG is planning over the next few days. 1) Posting on the Position Papers-Who has good, original ideas? Who is just spitting out slogans? 2) Funny Stuff 3) Asking Questions-If you are running for SC, expect a letter in your inbox from […]
