On behalf of the executive board of Diya, Duke's South Asian student association, I would like to announce endorsements for Duke Student Government candidates. Diya endorses junior Paul Slattery for president. We feel that he has a unique platform and a genuine understanding of the issue of diversity on campus. Diya endorses sophomore Jordan Giordano for executive vice president because of his experience and proven track record of getting things done. We were also impressed with his leadership abilities demonstrated in the restructuring of the Young Trustee nomination process. Diya endorses sophomore Madison Li for vice president of student affairs because of her strong DSG background. Finally, Diya endorses sophomore Brandon Roane for vice president of community interaction because of his fresh perspective and ideas about Duke-Durham interactions. Due to extenuating circumstances, we were unable to meet one of the candidates for vice president of academic affairs. We are therefore unable to formally endorse a candidate for this position.
Diya feels that these candidates are the best prepared to handle campus issues and encourages all members of the student body to vote for them in the election Tuesday.
