In yesterday’s editorial, we endorsed candidates for three vice presidential positions in Duke Student Government.
A common theme has begun to emerge in our reactions to DSG: concern that elected officials have failed to convince the average Duke student that DSG is an organization working for their interests rather than for self-satisfaction. DSG works best when it serves as a conduit, relaying the ideas of the student body to the administration, rather than acting unilaterally. Likewise, DSG vice presidents are most effective when they listen to and inspire the senators that work in their committees rather than commanding them. In addition to heeding senators, though, a strong VP must ensure that external voices are recognized and that the ideas of those voices are implemented. To this end, we encourage voters to consider which candidates will encourage DSG to improve the interface between students, student government and administration so as to help DSG focus on issues the student body finds salient. Below are our VP endorsements.

Last Thursday, DSG rejected a resolution calling for administrative action in response to Executive Vice President Tallman Trask’s hit-and-run incident.

It is time to revisit the standard and increase its presence and weight on campus.
