If you didn't already notice, the guy is running for Leader of the Pack... and he's already student body president. Seriously, of all the dick moves that have happened in student government, this is just about the dickest (the most dick?)...

So, those on Tdub who are still enrolled at State, get out and anti-vote Bobby Mills. I propose Jamal Irving, simply because his campaign signs were a bit funny and weren't chalked all the hell over the place. Voting is only today and tomorrow. If your roommates aren't voting, go ahead and steal their login too, if you feel like it.

what is leader of the pack

10/22/2007 4:22:10 PM

Not totally sure just what it is, but I know it awards a healthy amount of cash and is pretty prestigious. Winner is announced at homecoming.

10/22/2007 4:23:20 PM

dickest

10/22/2007 4:24:14 PM

So, everyone in student government is a douche.

what real power do any of them have that an anti-vote campaign is worth the effort?

10/22/2007 4:25:00 PM

on second thought, what is an anti-vote really?

why not just say, don't vote for this dickest of all dicks?

10/22/2007 4:26:14 PM

The general idea of an anti-vote/not voting for him would be to keep Bobby Mills from winning a shitload of cash when he already receives a big salary for being SB President. That's pretty much the reason his running for it is a dick move in the first place.

Isn't it the american dream to earn shitloads of cash

10/22/2007 4:29:19 PM

The only member of student government that I EVER saw, heard from, or heard anything about after elections was the Pirate Captain.

10/22/2007 4:31:09 PM

^^^ ya missed that one, gg, b.

Also Allison Barbour, Molly Widmyer and Nick Schultz are Caldwell fellows and so they get paid a renewable scholarship. I don't see how the basis of him having having a salary has any grounds when probably all 6 of them are more than likely on full scholarships anyways.


With that being said I voted for Anna and Jamal.

well damn...


ThePeter: the Leader of the Pack award is a scholarship given out by the Center for Student Leadership, Ethics and Public Service for "outstanding achievement in leadership, scholarship, and university and community service." There's a set of points allocated for an application and an interview, then 20% of the total score is determined by the vote of the Student Body.

It's not affiliated at all with the Student Government anymore, we just handle their voting process b/c we've got the best codebase for voting software. SG also had no role in the SBP applying, and had no influence in CSLEPS picking him as a finalist.

You can read more about the Leader of the Pack award here:

I think he's a good kid. How dare he be an example of a successful ncstate student.

10/22/2007 4:45:28 PM

he's president of student government, not the student body. they are le different.

10/22/2007 4:45:29 PM

dnl: I'm President of the Senate, Bobby's President of the Student Body. I'd never want his position, too much ass-kissing required

Leader of the Pack aside, folks can also weigh in on student fees again -- there were 3 new fee proposals that were blocked from consideration a few weeks ago by the Board of Governors that are included on this ballot, and I also added a question letting folks give their take on the Student Government fee as well

10/22/2007 5:04:17 PM

i'm curious as to why it's a big deal that he's running for that

10/22/2007 5:14:37 PM

Bobby Mills is a pretty cool guy, actually

10/22/2007 6:32:52 PM

you didnt tell us what he did wrong

10/22/2007 7:29:17 PM

Pirate Captain FTW

10/22/2007 7:30:39 PM

It looks like Tony Caravano won while he was sbp and that guy is cool.

10/22/2007 7:34:22 PM

Yeah, I liked Tony.

Write-in jackleg

10/22/2007 7:37:03 PM

just padding his resume.

10/22/2007 7:38:13 PM

I've met the kid and he is a douche; however, he may deserve to be Leader of the Pack. For all I know, the other folks are douches as well. I thinks its funny how he wears glasses except for in his pictures and he gels his hair and shit for the pics too. Someone should tell him he looks like a bigger douche than usual in his pics.

10/22/2007 7:44:11 PM

write-in The Pirate Captain or Stephen Colbert

I don't support student government by voting.

10/22/2007 7:49:28 PM

^^^^

I've talked to Bobby Mills several times, and interviewed him once, and in my opinion he is NOT a douche

maybe you were just ready to think "This SPB is a douche" before you even met him

10/22/2007 8:03:12 PM

bobby mills got me an appointed to a university committee, but i didn't vote for him b.c he's already sbp.

10/22/2007 8:04:12 PM

i voted for him b/c he was the only candidate that i saw actually out making an effort, and it's a powerless position anyway.

10/22/2007 8:04:37 PM

I walked past him and his entourage today while going to the gym. It was Mills and like 4 or 5 other people. All with their flip phones out...I thought it was very odd.

10/22/2007 8:05:42 PM

^^^^ Yeah, except for the fact that I met him before he was student body president, but nice try.

And when I say douche, I don't mean he isn't a nice guy, but let's just say he's not someone I would invite to a party or hang out with in any way not related to academics. He would get annoying very quickly. Maybe you just have a different definition of a douche.

10/22/2007 8:09:06 PM

^
okay, if you met him beforehand, that's a valid judgment

he's definitely an extrovert, but I never found him to be annoying, personally
I only know like 3 real douches, so my standards are prety strict

Tony actually won the year before he was President.

I don't have a problem with Bobby running myself, I just wish people would stop telling me they won't vote b/c they think I'm rigging the voting system in his favor  

10/22/2007 8:25:01 PM

went to high school with jamal irving. he's a real cool guy.

10/22/2007 8:33:49 PM

^^I stand corrected and now less confused. Similar idea, not the same story.

10/22/2007 8:44:26 PM

^
no worries, I thought Tony ran when he was SBP too until I got corrected myself on Saturday

dweedle: how do y'all do that? % turnout in Textiles is more than double % turnout in CHASS right now... 

10/22/2007 8:48:49 PM

The student government dorks certainly showed up in this thread, didn't they,

Hi Greg

The SBP isn't a douche bag he means well, but I kinda thought the same thing when I saw he was running for Leader of the Pack. But anyway go vote I think it scares the pants off the administration when there is a big voter turn out for stuff like this, and on a percentage basis CALS grad students voted the most in the last fee referendum. Go CALS!!!!

<a few disclaimers i'm in the SG but not a dork and I'm in CALS>

I just voted

[Edited on October 22, 2007 at 10:07 PM. Reason : you should vote too]

10/22/2007 10:05:40 PM

^^'Cause we're 1337 like that. It's called giving a crap.

Haha yeah, it's just a little bizarre.

Textiles % is now 3x CHASS...


myerlyn: you realize almost all of my Executive Cabinet and most of my Senate appointments have been TWWers right? (I guess that's the upside to getting elected b/c more ppl hated my opponent than liked me, I've only got one main constituency to cater to )
