JMSB left out

by Robert Dlhosh

Next week from February 16th-18th I will not be voting in the Arts and Science Federation of Associations election. As a JMSB student I do not have the privilege to do so. This is unfortunate because the Arts and Science Faculties make up such a large part of Concordia University and ASFA has always contributed to better life on campus for students of all stripes.

This year, arts and science students have the opportunity to vote for a party that will permanently reform ASFA into the great student association it has always had the potential to be. Innovation pledges to bring financial transparency to ASFA, clearing once-and-for-all the fog that surrounds the appropriation of its large budget. This is of primary concern because ASFA is financed through your tuition and currently only a select few know how this money is spent. As a sitting Independent Councillor for ASFA, current team Innovation presidential candidate Aaron Green knows what needs to be done and isn’t afraid to roll up his sleeves and get down to business.

Also, as the only presidential candidate with any experience holding an office in university politics, the choice is clear who is most qualified to run ASFA. Green will be able to hit the ground running and no time will be wasted making Concordia a place we can all be proud of.
Speaking of pride, McGill isn’t the only school with a lush green campus in the city. The Loyola campus is a beautiful property, rich in history. I look forward to attending the many events and tournaments that Innovation for ASFA plans to organize at Loyola, ending the long standing alienation between the two campuses.

With polling stations on both campuses from February 16th-18th, I urge all arts and science students to vote for Aaron Green and his team at Innovation for ASFA. This is your opportunity to be proactive and have a say in your university experience and Innovation will make sure Concordia University is a school we are all proud to attend. Aaron Green will be the next ASFA President, and you can take that to the bank.
