The first SG Presidential debate (2/19)!

February 20th, 2009

Have a listen below - four of the five candidates for Student Government President duked it out for nearly an hour in the studio booth last night (more like “dude”ed it out…all the candidates are guys). Tuition, student representation, executive appointments, directions for the future - each candidate had his own take…except for the one who wasn’t there. He didn’t have a take at all.

  • Enoch Gowarty
  • Zak Kinnaird
  • Hector Morales (not present)
  • Liam O’Rourke
  • Phillip Tau
