Sleepless Over Student Politics
I stumbled upon a video of the miting de avance of the DLSU student council last general elections (http://dlsu2008.multiply.com/video/item/7). I just met Nicole Villarojo (their new president) yesterday in UST (along with other student council presidents). I never thought that she could be that feisty.
This short video was a very revealing one for me. It's my first time to actually see and hear the mythical Tapat-Santugon rivalry. I can really say that they make Ignacio and Ibig-Agila look like the best of friends.
I found this blog (http://shale.wordpress.com/) that offered updates and opinions on the events surrounding the DLSU general elections. Looking at the electoral experience of other universities really excites me. Their experiences with their respective student councils can provide a benchmark for our own.
Talking to other student council presidents also gave me a revelation about the Ateneo student council (and organization) structure. I have already written about this in my post in http://omi4president.multiply.com/. Thinking about these issues of structure has kept me awake for some nights. I'll definitely be doing my research on this for months to come.
