On Sunday April 24, The Chronicle featured a story describing my presidential veto of the $40,000 DSG senate allotted for the student yearbook the Chanticleer. For the sake of the student activities fee and the future of the DSG programming fund, I want to clarify my reasoning.

Tomorrow, the Duke Student Government Senate will vote on a bylaw amendment that seeks to open positions on standing committees of the Board of Trustees to the whole undergraduate student population. In the status quo, DSG vice presidents are automatically assigned to these standing committees, often in ways that do not line up with their roles in student government. The proposed amendment would continue to appoint the president and vice president of facilities, the environment and the arts to committees but open nine positions to all undergraduates via an application and interview process. Although we encourage the Senate to pass the proposal, we believe several amendments must absolutely be made.

Last week, 32 percent of undergraduates voted in the Duke Student Government elections for committee senators and vice presidents. While campaigns and DSG emails in the lead-up to the election focused on the list of candidates present on the ballot, they failed to emphasize the referenda students would also be asked to weigh in on, one of which called for a re-evaluation of the funding mechanism for the Chanticleer, the student yearbook. Although the referendum was purely informational, its lack of clarity and previous publicity highlighted clear problems with the DSG information propagation and voting system.

DSG discussed funding for several groups Wednesday, including the Chanticleer and three religious student groups.

As the second to last full week of classes draws to a close, students are counting down the days remaining until another Last Day of Classes. For the twenty years since its 1997 inception, LDOC’s bacchanal has consumed main quad with massive crowds, a morning to evening programming schedule and unofficial daylong drunkenness. But as fun as it is to let loose before finals, our designated day of campus-wide music and celebration is in serious need of reform.
