So the results of the elections we just had came in. I was pleased by who won for summer workshift manager and sad that Michelle didn't get AdCom Rep. I was also extremely happy to find that neither of the very silly bylaw changes Matt proposed passed. He proposed a change to the position of social manager that every social manager was up in arms about stopping. He also a proposed a change to a part of the Bylaw that he didn't even understand. He's always been opposed to the rule that states that the workshift manager needs a 3/4 vote to be overturned by the house. Of course he never bothered to read the details of that rule. It only applies to discussion of how many hours a workshift is worth (and nothing else- it explicitly says the house retains its majority overrule in all other disputes with the workshift manager). So instead of changing this part of the bylaws, Matt changed a different part that says the workshift manager needs to submit a workshift proposal at the beginning of the semester. We've never done that before. It's one of those parts of the bylaw that we just ignore. Matt wanted to change it from being something we ignore that needs 3/4 to overrule to something we ignore that needs 1/2 to overrule. Way to waste our time Matt. Bah.

And Zach was recalled for fall. He resigned from summer before the vote actually finished, but he would have been recalled for both summer and fall. It's sad, but also probably necessary. The vote was very close (24 to 21). The results made me sad, the way that everything about this election has, but at least I think it was right.
