And Cody Schwartz, a student in the School of Medicine, is the only graduate student running. But Younts said he expects write-in candidates to fill Congress to its capacity' of 41 students. “The graduate districts haven’t ever been that competitive,” Younts said. “People have won before with as a little as five or six votes.” Its down to the wire. Walking around campus, you’ve seen the posters, the fliers, the A-frames. You know their names and their slogans. They’ve tried to woo you into voting for them, promis ing certain late-night dining options, tuition predictability and an eventful senior year. And now the day has come for you to decide. It’s time to cast the ballot and determine who will lead the students at this University and wiio will represent you and your voice to the administration. This is a university that promises student self-governance. The student body president has a vote on the Board of Trustees. The Carolina Athletic Association president works with the ticketing office to determine how the basketball ticket distribution system works. So selecting the best person to represent your concerns is crucial. And it happens today.
