Student who Have an Understanding of Lampoon and have Tremendous Zeal (SHULTZ) have quit the race for the CSU presidency on Nov. 21.
“I received complaints from all the candidates regarding SHULTZ, because it confused students and I found that they were contradicting themselves. I met with the Representative Union and SHULTZ and we had a discussion regarding SHULTZ’s name and SHULTZ decided to pull out of the race,” Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Jessica Lajambe said.
President of the SHULZ slate, Pyam Montazami said that his party was leeching off the popularity of the Representative Union’s President Chris Schulz. “Because of that acronym students were interested in our slate, but I don’t think we would have won. We didn’t want to deal with the consequences of being disqualified because of our acronym,” Montazami said.
Montazami added people thought he was campaigning for the Representative Union and that this had negative results.
Schulz said he was flattered that the SHULTZ slate thought that he had a chance of winning the elections. “The CEO would have expelled us both, had the SHULTZ party continued to campaign,” Schulz said. “The SHULTZ slate felt bad about the whole thing. It is hard enough to get your message across and it is good thing that they backed out since it causes less confusion for students.”
