The Best GM Week Political Team at RPI

It’s that time of year again! Election fever has descended upon RPI this year even earlier than usual. The DCC’s windows are covered in posters in the shape of candidates’ names, the CII is once again a seven story billboard for a political party, and all over campus one can find banners adorned with campaign slogans. Yes, GM Week is upon us, and the battle to represent you, the students, has commenced. But who to vote for? Here at RPInsider we’ve assembled the best RPI political team on the internet (even better than last year’s) to help you decide just that.

Just as we did last year, we asked each of the GM/PU candidates by email to submit a short statement about themselves and why we should endorse them. For the GM candidates, we received responses from Ben Hunt, Andrew Neidhardt, and Michael Zwack. For PU, responses came from Mike Spitz and Stefan Dicker.

Based on the statements submitted, general campaign activity, and the debates, we have finally reached a decision:

RPInsider endorses Andrew Neidhardt for Grand Marshal and Stefan Dicker for the President of the Union.

RPI Students tend to wear much more clothing than their UAlbany counterparts for their mass student events.

So you thought GM week was awesome?  Check out UAlbany’s Fountain Day.  Every year to celebrate the first time they turn on their fountain, marking a spring rite of passge, and naturally they throw a huge party.   This year they had record crowds, numbered at 10,000.

GM Week Committee:  We want a party like THAT!  You’ve got almost a year to plan it.  Everyone here knows we can outdo UAlbany, so let’s get to it!
