An Election Upheaval

Just when we thought six candidates running for student body president was overwhelming!


Hallie Lipsey has a rather large sign in the Pit and a new Facebook group. And apparently, a rather large following. In case you don't care to click the image and read the fine print, here's the platform synopsis.

Hallie promises to:
- Allow jousting in the quad
- Promote Velociraptor Awareness Day
- Enforce mandatory 5-second rule
- Help the Greeks defeat the Trojans
- Create P3P (even better than P2P)
- Put an Alpine Bagel in every building
- Annex Carrboro
- Fine the Board of Elections 12 dollars
- Create a flat-rate rickshaw service
- Fix the uneven bricks on campus
- Look remarkably like J.J. Raynor
- Not be obnoxious

All very commendable ideas. Apparently, Hallie is an actual person. A junior, in fact, who claims to have in no way contributed to the sign's creation. Hmm... I was struggling to commit to a candidate. Write-in, anyone?
