		<description>Brian,

Good points, I think a great first step (short of breaking up MUSG and starting anew) would be to amend the constitution to allow door to door campaigning.  As any political analyst will tell you, the key to winning a local election is doors.  Not allowing campaigning in the dorms, aside from being extremely undemocratic, prevents non-traditional candidates from having a chance.  The votes such a candidate would need are not hanging out at the union or library all day.  The only voters that really get courted are the ones who probably have their mind made up anyways.  

You also touch upon the &quot;slush&quot; fund.  It makes me sick to see countless articles in newspapers and on Cnn.com touting colleges with free file-sharing, wine and beer tasting parties, and countless other unique programs that MUSG could easily create by using that money wisely, and at the direction of the students.

Perhaps it would be best to disband and start again.  Please see the links below for some free press, not dealing with a revolving door mascot, that Marquette could be getting.

As former MUSG Senators from the second camp, we know first-hand knowledge on how hard it is to break that first camp up.  When someone strong from the second camp emerges with fresh ideas (i.e. yourself, Sean McGuire, John Cooney) that could potentially shake things up a little bit and challenge MUSG to take a stand against the administration, or change the way MUSG operates, the first camp often clusters together and become even stronger in their opposition to change.  Hence why the last couple of years you&#039;ve seen the first camp rally behind one ticket and multiple second camp candidates cannibalize each other in trying to get that second spot in the final election.  Until more students realize the importance of getting behind candidates that advocate dynamic change rather than voting for the status quo because the first camp fits the typical &quot;leadership mold&quot;, MUSG will never change.   

Successful organizations continually change with the times.  Unfortunately, MUSG has become stagnant, and has treaded towards irrelevance in the last year or two, becoming in some cases merely rubber stamps for administrative decisions and choices.  Those of us in the 2nd camp that advocate dynamic change, such as Mike when he proposed improvements to student life like a free music downloading service (which many schools have), or John Cooney who proposed expanding LIMO service to Water Street on weekends, or Sean McGuire who advocated allowing the use $50,000 of MUSG&#039;s bloated $200,000 reserve/&quot;slush&quot; fund to be decided by students, are told by the first camp that it&#039;s too lofty of an idea, we don&#039;t want to make the administration mad, and so forth.  Instead we get stale platforms proposing &quot;coffee talks&quot;, &quot;increased student communication&quot;, fixing the rec center, or building kiosks year after year, and these supposedly simpler things don&#039;t get done. MUSG now borders on irrelevance because of it&#039;s inablity to get these dynamic things done.  All of us have big dreams for our future while we&#039;re at Marquette, why can&#039;t MUSG?

The simplest way to reform MUSG would be to break up MUSG and start anew.
