Alright folks, here it is: the last day of campaigning and the last scheduled event for your 2008-2009 Union Pres and VP candidates, Pat Connors and Scott Matheson vs. Matt MacGillivray and Julia Clarke. It's exciting in here. Introductions have begun and the crowd seems genuinely excited by this newest addition to elections campaigns at StFX.
Matt and Julia are up first, making a powerful opening statement. The pair seem more confident than their last time in front of a crowd. It's encouraging because this crowd is much bigger and filled with many students who have to be here if they want their dinner.
Pat and Scott are poised with take two of their opening speech. Pat and Scott's speech doesn't have quite the excitement as their opponents and is very similar to the speech they gave last week in the SUB caf. The roar of the crowd is gaining momentum and the candidates seem to be frustrated that they are not being listened to attentively. I guess it's all four's first chance at displaying their ability to be heard over the "noise" of apethetic students, stubborn administration, and ideas that just don't pan out. Being in public office means figuring out how to be heard over the noise.
