Democracy was in full display on campus this week as students elected their next president and vice president for the Associated Students of CSU.
The process was simple. The candidates receiving the most votes won, and barring any unforeseen Penley-like fiasco, Dan Gearhart and Tim Hole will lead student government next fall.
Congratulations, Dan and Tim. (Hopefully you'll think twice about spending a ton of money for a hip-hop concert.)
The process of choosing who will lead the Rams' offense next fall, however, is a bit more complicated.
Spring practice -- the first of two official campaign seasons -- is quickly nearing its end, and the race for the starting quarterback position appears still very much undecided.
One candidate, Alex Kelly, has dropped out (choosing to pursue a career in baseball instead). Another, Klay Kubiak, has been unable to campaign due to an injury. A third, T.J. Borky, has been delegated to other duties (wide receiver). And a fourth, Nico Raineri, has yet to officially enter the race (still in high school).
That, my friends, leaves us with just two candidates. Fitting, considering this country's love for a two-party contest.
On one ticket is Grant Stucker, once one of the top prep prospects in the state, now a long-time backup looking to crack the starting lineup for the first time as a fifth-year senior (Billy Farris 2.0).
On the other ticket is Jon Eastman, once a missionary in Brazil, now a junior college transfer with only two years of eligibility brought to the Fort with the sole purpose of competing for the starting job right away.
