TO THE EDITOR:
As leader of the Large Ham Sandwich movement, I must respectfully disagree with Ms. DeMaria.
My vote for a Large Ham Sandwich does not illustrate my lack of pride for my school, but it does reflect my lack of faith in the role of student body president.
My vote and those of the other write-ins may have made a difference in one person’s campaign, but in the grand scheme of things my vote is still worthless.
On the issues that truly matter to me, namely that of tuition, the student body president’s vote on the Board of Governors makes no difference.
The fact of the matter is that a Large Ham Sandwich could serve as student body president and make the same impact as a human being at a fraction of the cost and at the added benefit of also being delicious. While I concede that my candidate is not kosher, I don’t believe Mr. Longest is either.
I’m a second semester senior and who I vote for won’t impact me in the slightest.
Frankly, that is what the Large Ham Sandwich movement is about: a restless group of seniors, tired of being asked to sign petitions for an election that truly has no value to us.
