SGA has been plagued by a series of ineffective administrations because its leaders are showhorses, not workhorses. Think Bob Barr over John Linder. They are very much unable to to engage in anything productive, mostly due to their own vanity. Student representation might be much better served by a new organization whose leaders are selected not by a few people on Milledge Ave. but by the people who actually show up and care about issues facing the University.

And unless they have a certain number/percentage of students that has to vote, the vote should be positive. I know at Kennesaw if even if you just vote for yourself and no one else bothers to vote in that race, you win. One vote is all it takes. Pathetic I know, but true.
