Meiselman: "I don't think you could find a rational person who would say that Prescott didn't drop the ball."

Get it? He dropped the ball.

Anyways, it would seem as though most of the blame for the lack of a Founder's Day Ball is being placed at the feet of the Vice President. He was the one responsible for planning it, and even though he created a new cabinet position at the start of the year, Director of Founder's Day, it isn't going to happen. Apparently Jenny Kim and Riley Fujisaki made a valiant effort to save the event, but they were denied the opportunity by Student Activities. The Examiner's account of events is here.

Obviously this a huge disappointment for people that were looking forward to the ball, especially those of us that are seniors. Students don't expect much from the SG, but this sets a new low. Even if it was ultimately SA that prevented the last minute effort to hold a ball, the fact that it is not happening does not reflect well upon the SG. And this all comes at a time when the SG is not viewed very highly by anyone.

What happens now? Well, it is going to be an interesting meeting in the Senate tomorrow. Not only will the issue of election certification be on the table, but the VP will have to face his critics. It should at least make for some interesting debate. It will all go down tomorrow at 2:30, and I'll be there to tell you about it.
