Re: “Candidates have right to drink and be taken seriously” Feb. 2, 2010

To the editor:

It is important for the sake of the university and the student body that the image of the USC president is not that of a drunken fool. The position of USC president is a very serious one.

In response to Mr. Rajzman’s comments about the need for informed voters I feel the need to also point out an incident that occurred last year involving one of the candidates. The candidate published a magazine and distributed it on campus without consent of the USC. Not only that, but there were issues regarding the appropriateness of certain content, and more generally, the quality of the magazine was simply atrocious.

I take the USC elections very seriously and it is important that a responsible and capable president be elected. It is up to the student body to ensure this happens.
