w George-Anne For 70years, Georgia Southern's Official Student Newspaper ■ Liked By Many, Stacy demons Amanda Crews Cussed By Some... Editor Managing Editor Read By Them All

Kelley McGonnell ^ The oldest continuously published newspaper in Bulloch County Tuesday, April 21,1998 News Editor Opinions Our Opinion There is no excuse for not voting in the SGA elections this week. Witt Elections for SGA will begin tomorrow and students should vote. There is no good reason for not voting. There has been full coverage of all the candidates for executive viELu,rr /s positions in The George-Anne, there was a debate at the TVIE. KESPOMSA&UE. Union Rotunda last Thursday and the Harris ticket held an open forum last night. Add to this, the debate on the SGA radio show on last Wednesday should have given students ample opportunity to hear what the candidates have to say. Ignoring the elections and not voting for anyone, eliminates students from the right to complain about their government. You can't pass by the polling sites and then complain next semester that SGA isn't doing anything about the parking situation or student apathy. That right is forfeited if students don't use their right to vote. The only thing preventing any student on this campus from voting is registration holds. And some of these can be easily remedied. All most students need is a picture ID, not even a student ID. They just need something to prove they are who they say they are. It's not that hard. Leave for class five minutes early, stop by the Union, Lakeside Cafe or the College of Business Administration Building. If you need to read up on the candidates, come by The George-Anne in room 2023 in the Williams Center. We will happily give you back issues with full campaign coverage.
