Was invovled... and I don't mean to be discouraging but I found it frustrating and very un-rewarding.

The problem, as I see it, is that many students are beholden to the promotion of special interest groups - without realizing that the 'real-world' requires more than words to get sh*t done. Stick to your principles and guide youself by the ideals of your GLO - that will act as a compass I see sorely absent from many running for political office (even at a student level - and even by members of GLOs).

While this may sound overly negative - an aspect I fully acknowledge - if you have the will power stick with it... perhaps you can be the one to make a difference...

As it is now I'm but an advisor and critic for those who want to run for student politcs... and only some listen. Howver I do understand the issues of an off-campus student body (97% commmuter) and a desire for a freeze in tuition fees (the primary issue since '94 here in student politcs).

Stick with it and don't sell out your convictions for the sake of power - the opnly relavent advice I can give.
