|
Date: February 13th, 2006 7:45 AM Author: wild hyperventilating senate The candidate who was disqualified was doing a lot of shit that was bound to get him in trouble anyway.
What that guy didn't mention was that the candidate, Zeeshan, also announced that he was endorsed by the Black Law Students Association, even though the BLSA does not endorse SBA candidates. He talked to a single member of the BLSA who said that she supported his election, and to him, that meant the entire BLSA supported his campaign.
Shady shit like that would've got him dq'd even if he didn't get dq'd over the video. |
|
Date: February 13th, 2006 10:15 AM Author: vengeful fragrant nowag school Thats really interesting. I had heard he got in trouble for using the words "Georgetown" and "GULC" in campaigning, and I had heard some other douche got him in trouble by sending a random message to some thefacebook.com group. But this is the first time I'd heard that. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=358936&forum_id=2#5073521) |

Date: February 14th, 2006 2:25 AM Author: massive yellow bawdyhouse Subject: He was unequivocally endorsed by BLSA Here is the email that was sent to all BLSA members. You decide whether this is really an endorsement.
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Koren Stevenson" <krs35@law.georgetown.edu> To: georgetown_blsa@yahoogroups.com Date: Tue, 07 Feb 2006 03:01:12 -0000 Subject: [BLSA] VOTE OR DIE!!! BLSA Family:
SBA Elections begin this evening at midnight. These elections are very important because SBA controls the funding for all student groups including BLSA. The president of SBA has the potential to impact your daily campus life. As such, we expect that all BLSA members will take the time to vote. Below is the list of candidates that BLSA is endorsing.
http://www.law.georgetown.edu/SBAElections
President Zeeshan Javed Haveez has contacted us for our endorsement and we are happy to support him as he has been active in our organization, and we feel that he will be excellent in building consensus across campus.
Beau Finley is also a BLSA member, and our SBA Appropriations Liaison.
Secretary Janelle Matthews
3L Delegate Janelle Matthews Julia Richardson
2L Delegate Macani Toungara Julian Bryant Claudine Wilson Malachi Alston Cianna Freeman Henry Hunter
For the Delegate positions, you are allowed to vote for more than one candidate and we recommend that you support all ofthe BLSA members that are running.
Thanks, E-Board |
|
Date: February 14th, 2006 7:52 AM Author: wild hyperventilating senate Z contacted one person on the E-Board who decided that it'd be a good idea to endorse him.
Unfortunately, the BLSA has a long standing policy of not endorsing candidate. Also, none of the other members of the BLSA board had agreed to this before this email was sent out.
Now, I'm not sure whether this was a miscommunication between Koren and the rest of the E-Board, whether she acted unilaterally and/or whether Z actually knew that the BLSA does not support candidates, but the BLSA does not and has not (in the recent past) endorsed candidates. |
|
Date: February 14th, 2006 9:44 AM Author: vengeful fragrant nowag school I dunno, sounds like BLSA just didn't have its shit together on this one. It doesn't sound like blame lies w/ Z if the exec board did come out w/ an endorsement of him, even if there wasn't consensus.
And why wouldn't BLSA endorse candidates? Endorsements like that turned minority orgs on my UG campus into probably the most powerful voting block despite their numerical disadvantage. |
|
Date: February 14th, 2006 9:50 AM Author: wild hyperventilating senate I'm not really sure who's at fault here. Like I pointed out, it's entirely possible that Z had no idea that BLSA doesn't endorse candidates and also happened to speak to the one e-board member who was not informed of this policy. I dunno.
And I also don't know why the BLSA doens't endorse candidates. *shrug* |

|
Date: February 14th, 2006 10:03 AM Author: vengeful fragrant nowag school He missed the cutoff for the runoff by 35 votes. But I'm not sure a revote would've helped signficantly, almost everyone on campus had voted by the time he was DQed and forced to stop campaigning.

taking student government at all seriously is an excellent proxy for extreme douchebaggery.. you also rarely see really smar people involved in it. it tends to be a meetin gplace for those who want to believe that their "social skills" will carry them to partnership |

Date: February 14th, 2006 10:36 AM Author: exciting glassy business firm Did you get the latest e-mail from Kristin?

I, however, would like to focus on the positive agenda that Beau and I have spent a lot of time preparing. Among the highlights are...."

Date: February 14th, 2006 10:38 AM Author: Beta light locale "I am deeply saddened by the depths to which people who refuse to even sign their names to an email have gone to influence this election."
So if they signed their names to the email it would make everything all better? |
|
Date: February 14th, 2006 10:40 AM Author: exciting glassy business firm I should have included the agenda that they worked so tirelessly on:
"- a longer drop/add period
- 24 hour access to Courtside
- a cheaper health care plan
- more LL.M. representation
- printers in McDonough."
WOW! Anybody that's been at the school could've came up with that in 5 minutes. This reminds me of college and HS student body elections in which the candidates running would promise everything the students want but nothing over which they'd have any control. |
|
Date: February 14th, 2006 10:43 AM Author: Beta light locale Is this a joke?
What's the other side promising? If I was a GULC student I'd probably vote for the other candidate as a protest vote. |

Date: February 14th, 2006 10:45 AM Author: vengeful fragrant nowag school How about an official Xoxo endorsement? Though I'm not sure that wouldn't be more a hindrance than a helping hand (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=358936&forum_id=2#5083656) |

You should've called Beau and Kristen racist, and that SBA was trying to prevent a brown man from being SBA President. It would've been ironic because Vid, the current President, is brown. And you should've claimed that, even though Z doesn't wear a do-rag, if he did, Beau and Kristen would hate Z's do-rag.

You are cowardly and petty to send the entire Georgetown class an anonymous e-mail that smears two of our classmates. If you're going to spam my e-mail box any more, at least sign your names so that I can respond to you personally instead of posting in a message group. Grow up. |

My second question is who has the time to think about this stuff? Next, when did the SBA office become "power and popularity" and so important as to deserve a campus wide movement? Sorry I missed the memo. I know everyone is used to winning and excelling and it's hard to deal with defeat but please spare me this entertainment or what I will call spam. Thanks
P.S. You all seemed to have the same platform anyway? Maybe its just me?
Signed,

This whole thing, which I was only interested in in the first place because one of my friends was running for Prez, has forever turned me off from student government; I'm not even going to vote next year, not even if one of my friends runs. People take this shit way too seriously when it's all pretty darn meaningless.

Date: February 16th, 2006 10:05 PM Author: bronze bull headed hell "What exactly were these complaints? Among them was that a Zeeshan received endorsements from Facebook groups, and that another person's blog improperly mentioned the campaign through a joke video. Yes, these rather childish issues were among the numerous petty complaints filed by Beau and Kristin. Ironically, Zeeshan was the only campaign for any major office that did not file a single complaint against an opponent, because he believed ideas are more important than petty campus politics."
Ridiculous |
