To the editor:
The Student Government Association is back to normal already, only one week after electing an almost entirely new Senate, not to mention President and Vice President.
Gone are the days of T.A. Jones and his flag-draping, bongo-drum-carrying entertainment. At last Wednesday's Senate meeting, the swearing-in of the new officers started the joke of SGA all over again.
Clad in a black robe and colonial style white wig, SGA Supreme Court Justice Jay Ingle swore in the new officer including phrases asking if the officers had engaged in or conspired to engage in any duels.
Can't SGA even take swearing-in seriously?
SGA President Shea Chaney himself is already on the right track to becoming a joke. He broke his promise, made during the Greek Political Action Committee debate, to have open interviews for Executive Director spots.
Chaney interviewed no candidates and picked those most instrumental in his campaign. I truly hope he doesn't continue on this route and completely turn SGA into the spectacle of comedy.
In response to the senators not approving one executive director, I say "congratulations." In response to the senators approving two others I say, "shame on you."
I hope you realize the responsibility and weight of the job the directors does rests on you - the voters in this case. I hope you don't make as big of a mistake as the rest of the student body did.
