This is not a letter of support for one candidate over another. This is a letter in support for the institution that is Student Senate. This institution, like all others, has its ups and downs throughout time. Currently, we are at a low point. The question that voters will have this week is whether or not Student Senate is worth saving for the future. If Will (the Birthday Party) is elected, I take him at his word, he will seek a complete destruction of the senate and the formation of a new body; the aftermath of such a move will be uncertain. If we elect Michael (AAA), the senate may still spike downward, but the outlook for future senates will be optimistic because the structure of the institution, which has produced good times (most recently under the leadership of Brian Footer), will remain intact. Students of Ohio University, I ask you to believe in the institution of Student Senate, I implore to think about the future of Student Senate ' not just the present ' and I plead of you to be willing to go through bad times so that good times can occur. Give future senates a chance at life.
