Julius Peppers Would Make Popular and Intimidating President

Let's face it: Only one man on this campus has what it takes to be student body president.

It's not the ability to schmooze with administrators or form a new committee that matters; it's having forearms of steel and killer tattoos.

That's right: On Tuesday, I'm voting for Julius Peppers.

Now, I'm not just saying this because he threatened me.

But if he did, I would say anything he wanted, because Julius Peppers is a big, big man. And he could hurt me. Badly.

All of the "official" candidates tell us the student body president race isn't a popularity contest.

But don't you think it should be? It would be a lot more fun if we had a president who is well-known and respected by all.

And who better than the dunkmaster general himself, Julius Peppers?

Nobody cares about the so-called "issues."

We just want a student body president we can be proud of -- and fear. For all of you politicos, you can still handle the insignificant day-to-day stuff like forming committees and holding student forums.

In the meantime, our student body president will be out sacking quarterbacks and shattering backboards. Now isn't that the kind of leadership we need?

Julius Peppers rewarded our loyalty when he decided to come back for another year -- shouldn't we thank him on Tuesday? Vote Julius Peppers for student body president!
