'Tis just as well. A treasurer who can't count or spend under budget probably isn't somebody worth having in office anyway...
This is an outrage. Bill Pang had a clear mandate from the great Princeton Class of 2012 to be a leader. A mandate for change-- for more study breaks. For longer late-meal hours. For two-ply toilet paper. The Class of 2012 will not stand for this. Democracy will be served.
longer late-meal hours? two-ply toilet paper? being class treasurer doesn't put him in a position to bring about these changes. i agree with AC. if he can't be careful enough with following rules, reading the fine print, and filling out paper work, he probably shouldn't be treasurer.
To make n pieces of 2-ply paper, we need 2n pieces of 1-ply paper. Then fold it in half.
Proof: 1x2n=2x1n Q.E.D.
I agree with the decision the USG made, but I don't think that changes the fact that USG election rules are unnecessarily restrictive. Speaking as a former USG presidential candidate, I think the budgeting formula for flyers is particularly ridiculous, even if one accepts the idea of a spending cap as necessary.
he spent 40 dollars when he had a 30 dollar budget. that means he was 33.333 percent off in his handling of money. Is that someone you want to trust with your budget? Of course not. AC is right. 2012 supporter is dumb and probably biased.
