USAC CANDIDATE ENDORSEMENTS

Some people can move others to tears with their speech; others
through writing. In the case of Ryan Wilson, we’re crying,
but not for the right reasons. While we had some questions for
Wilson, who is running unopposed, he was unable to attend The
Bruin’s endorsement hearings due to illness. And though
Wilson’s absence is excusable, we aren’t able to make
an informed endorsement of him to campus events commissioner.
Judging from his personal statement, Wilson has experience in the
campus events office. Likewise, he seems concerned with all
entertainment genres, be they film, music or theater. Still, Wilson
glosses over the political aspect of his position in his candidate
statement. The campus events commissioner has a vote in USAC, and
with it comes responsibility. Given the degree of infighting on
this year’s council, we hope that Wilson will bring stability
and civility to the council. But we can only guess. Ultimately, the
campus events commissioner’s role is to provide quality
entertainment programs for the UCLA community. Still, we urge
Wilson to consider his political role on council, especially since
he will probably be elected.
