Now what would any self-respecting nerd do when the a new Trailer for Tron 2 drops?  Not show it?
(It’s even awesome-r in HD and fullscreen.)

Keeping students engaged in STUSU elections is always a challenge.
So this year, to facilitate discussion, why don’t you contact the candidates themselves?
Here’s a hand-dandy list of contact info.  If we’ve forgotten anything just let us know in the comment section, and we’ll add it as soon as possible.

We’re looking into why it’s down.

We students are all part of a union.  It’s a pretty big operation.
We (well some of us) elect a group of 19-20 people every year.  Those people are somehow responsible for the hiring of at least a dozen other staff members.  Some of those staff members deal with even more students [...]
