Kite also supports Carson for student body president
Issue date: 2/20/07 Section: Letters to the Editor
TO THE EDITOR:
Sure, it was a rough campaign for me with ups and downs. OK, so mostly downs, but I walked away tall and proud of what I had to say and the issues I brought up, and I honestly feel that they did not fall on deaf ears.
Aside from the many students who got a good laugh and enjoyed my campaign, many of the other SBP candidates were listening, too. After working closely with them all for a month, I don't think anyone listened harder to what I had to say than Eve Carson.
That is why she is going to make the best student body president not only from this pool of candidates, but will be remembered as one of the best student body presidents we will ever have. She brings a fresh face and approach to a stagnant system.
We celebrated the highest voter turnout ever in this election, and I think we have Eve to thank for that because she brings something new to the table.
She is going to pull this campus together in ways I talked about but was never a strong enough candidate to do. I have full faith that Eve will change students' lives, change student government and change the way student government interacts with campus.
It is difficult to admit to another candidate's merit over your own, but it has been one of the easiest things I have ever done. I follow Eve Carson because she is a strong leader, and she stands for change and I want Eve Carson to be my next student body president.
