SG-POCALYPSE '08
STUDENT GOVERNMENT LEFT IN SHAMBLES

The 2007-2008 Student Government administration under outgoing President Cody Comfort, has officially ended April 30th with no clear future for the Student Government in sight.

Towards the end of the semester; Student Government has been plagued by election chaos for the second semester this year which resulted in elections not being held, the Senate's liberal majority pushed the chamber into debt resulting in funds from the reserve account being used, dismay from students over alleged misuse of student money, and former Student Government leaders lashing out against current leaders for the mishandling and destruction of the organization.

Currently, the Student Government is completely shut down with no elected President or executives due to the selective disqualification imposed by the Election Commission. The Senate is empty, with several elected Senators with no one to swear them in who will be thrown out of office in ten days if not swore into office. The Supreme Court mysteriously had eight individuals sworn-in at the same time with only seven seats available (which Student Government still has not realized). May 1st the Chief Justice Chris Saybe, a conservative, resigned due to his graduation this semester; with former leaders wondering who will control the court hoping the Presiding Justice Jessie Nunes is ill-taught in civics and SG Law to properly run the court.

With no end or legal solution in sight and a pending court case by disqualified presidential candidate, Cherie Maser, Student Government is without a President or any true leaders.
