Democracy: It works sometimes

While USG elections are almost over, I'd like to take the opportunity to urge students to vote for Referenda 4 and 5.Everyone's heard the all the financial arguments against the proposals, so I won't waste anyone's time repeating them.But realize this proposal isn't a fiscally strategic move, or an administrative plan to end a nascent tradition on Prospect. No, this is a gesture, plain and simple, and an important one at that. If the referenda pass, it shows Princeton students are not the selfish Ivy League snobs many accuse us of being, but are instead conscientious and principled individuals.Or, just imagine how foolish we'd look if it didn't pass. Yep. Awkward.At any rate, though, the choice is ultimately yours. But I'd like to think we could all sacrifice two hours of fun for a meaningful deed.You can vote at the USG's website here.
