This is too bad; I lost. Hopefully the college will still prosper with the SGA under the leadership of Miss Carleigh Baldwin. The warm support I have received over the past few days has nonetheless heartened me, though I am certainly depressed to think that now, almost certainly: 1. The SGA will have to suffer through another motivational speaker this fall, and 2. Trays are really probably gone for good. For these reasons, the failure is all mine: I will be fine, but I have failed those who wanted me or someone like-minded elected. Sorry for that.

At least my esteemed ally and colleague, John Guinan, has won the VP for Academic Affairs position, as I expected. As I told him recently, he rather resembles Desi Arnaz, which he took as a complement.
