Where are the SBO candidate platforms?

Would somebody please run for student body president that has an actual platform other than, “I intend to listen to the student body.”
Cheapers H. Krymany! It would be nice to have a candidate with an original idea of what they intend to do for the school and the student body. I’m sure they’re all nice guys, but none of them seem to have any real vision worthy of getting the job.

Unbeknownst Honor Code infraction at BYU-I

I want to warn everyone to look closely at the labels of the drinks you buy on campus. This past week I stopped by Tommasito’s to grab a drink and something quick to eat before I went to the library.
I was looking around and I saw a Jones juice drink that looked good, so I [bought it].
After I bought it, something tasted funny. I looked closer at the label and read green tea.I had just broken the Word of Wisdom on campus. The folks at Tommasito’s were nice enough to let me get a different drink, and I’m sure they stopped selling that flavor of juice.
So just beware what you are buying, even at BYU-I.

Conservatives must communicate better

On Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2006, the American electorate made a huge mistake; the consequences of that mistake may not be known for years to come.
The electorate chose to elect a party into the majority in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate that has no plan for winning the war in Iraq.
We Americans have a great system in place for electing leaders; anyone can vote to elect those they feel the most qualified to do the job.
Conservatives need to do a much better job explaining their ideas and ideals to the public.
Maybe that’s the lesson to be learned from this election.
