Men of Ignatius,
First off, we’d like to thank you for taking the initiative to cast your vote today. As you may have noticed, one underlying theme of this year’s campaign among all candidates seems to be an emphasis on involving students. Taking a few minutes out of your day to vote is the first step to becoming active in our school’s government. The first round of elections was very tight, so we hope that on Wednesday you once more take the initiative to vote Mulach-Ertle.
One area that we would like to call your attention to is that we truly are a team. You might have noticed that on every single one of our posters there wasn’t just Danny’s glowing smile or just Pat’s gorgeous flow, but representations of both of us. This is because we are a team. We are the men for this job.
This position is too important for just one man. In fact, even though we have the most experience between the two slates, this job is too important for just two men. This job is for all of us. We need to pool together all of our good ideas. We’ll set up a suggestion box and leave the Senate office door open to facilitate this. We want to hear your great ideas. We need to hear your great ideas.
Next, we call your attention to the number 41. While 4.1 may not be Kevin Wodike’s 40 yard dash time, 41 is the number of years that our brothers, dads, and we have spent at St. Ignatius, 9 of which were spent in Senate.
At St. Ignatius we love tradition. Our shirts read “tradition never graduates,” and our alma mater sings “Ties of new days from the old.” The two of us understand the value that traditions have, and we want to build upon those traditions. In our five years of Senate experience, we’ve been able to learn what works and is well-received, as well as what hasn’t worked so well. We’re going to work to identify those activities that have worked in the past, and build upon them.
We won’t be, however, bound by these traditions or stuck in the past. We want to try new things out. Perhaps it’s through a Diversity Week or new intramural leagues, but through your suggestions, this is where you, the students, can help this school become an even better place. We want to make this school even more inclusive–a place that everybody loves as much as we do.
In conclusion, come Wednesday, vote Mulach-Ertle. Let us, an experienced team, work tirelessly for you. Let us, men for others, serve you. Let us, the men for this job, help this amazing school reach its full potential.
Sincerely,
Pat Mulach and Danny Ertle
