This “Vote or Die” business [see: Sept 15 Jambar article “’Vote or Die’ put down’] begs the question: who has the ultimate authority to say which flyers are acceptable to post on campus and which flyers aren’t? Is it SGA or is it Greg Gulas in the Student Activities office?

All the stamps for flyers on campus bulletin boards say, “YSU Student Government” and in fact, SGA approved Keith “2fly” Logan’s flyers. But then Student Activities overruled SGA.

If student activities can pop out of the woodwork to say “this is not allowed,” perhaps they should take the responsibility of approving flyers in the first place so people like 2fly don’t waste their time hanging up flyers that might get taken down later.

I can’t help but feel Gulas overreacted a bit. The posters are clearly a riff on the Sean “Diddy” Combs campaign last fall and mean no ill will, even if the connotation is “vote for 2fly or die.”

It’s like 2fly said, “It’s not like anyone’s actually going to die.”



On a side note, props to the person who suggested a “talk like a pirate or die” campaign. If that happened, the landlubbers would bae linin’ up to learn pirate-speak, lest they bae forced to walk the plank and sleep in Davey Jones’ locker.
