As we near election day this Thursday, it is increasingly clear that candidates in the Duke Student Government elections will not have enough time to communicate their vision and ideas to the student body. One of the principles of DSG should be that the students for which it advocates should have sufficient time and opportunity to learn about each candidate, speak with them about issues that are important to them and select the individual best able to work on their behalf for an entire year. In light of midterms, March Madness and the Easter holiday, the current election schedule does not allow students this opportunity.
We ask that the DSG extend the length of the campaign period.
