Student Council Elections

Once again this year we had to choose the right people to represent our student society. After the great job Ivo Kirov and Lazar Delchev did this year, on 7th of June we were able to hear from all candidates their speeches with their reasons, motifs and explanations of why “they” must be the president and vice-president. On the following day the elections were made in Ostrander Foyer during lunch and all the students had to pick one pair. Some of the candidates shared their future plans, ambitions and experiences with their partners before the elections. By Nona Stancheva.

Now, 9 months later, it is time to review and comment on what has been done and what hasn’t. By Slav Prhasky.

The Mayans, global warming, or coincidence?

The eruption of the volcano Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland caused huge chaos in airports across Europe and greatly disturbed air transport earlier this spring. This eruption seems to be just one in a string of natural disasters that have shaken the world in the past twelve months. The frequency of these natural disasters raises questions about their cause, as well as their impact on our future. Should we attribute these disasters to the cataclysm predeicted in Mayan legend to occur in 2012? To global warming? Or simply to coincidence? By Kremena Mestanova.
