The voting ballot for student body president and vice president became a little more crowded on February 18 when Alex Edwards, senior in mass communications, and Quintin Liberty, junior in nuclear engineering, officially filed for the upcoming student government election.

“I decided to run during our normal Friday night truth-or-dare game after a couple Mike’s Hard Lemonades,” Edwards said. “I was dared to run for student body president. I chickened out at first, but then Danny Unruh double dog dared me.”

Edwards and Liberty said they are running on an ever-changing platform, but as of Tuesday, they expressed a strong interest in expanding the reach of K-State’s impact.

“We think K-State should have a space program. We want to be the first university to send people to the moon. We want to call it K-S-Universe,” Edwards said.

Liberty also announced their plan to extend the designated driving service provided by Safe Ride.

“We want Safe Ride in Aggieville during the weekdays, not just the weekends, because students like to party,” Liberty said.

Also included in the duo’s campaign platform is a plan to replace the President’s Residence on campus with a “mega moon bounce mania mansion,” as well as do away with Hale Library.

“The library is for nerds. Instead, we want to install a water park complete with a wave pool,” Edwards said. “That will help ease the stress of going to class.”

Liberty also has a set of goals that he would like to accomplish while holding the office of vice president.

“I plan to overthrow Alex once I get into office,” Liberty said. “I plan to lure him into my office with cookies and milk and challenge him for his presidency over a game of ‘Smash Brothers’ on N-64.”

“That’s a terrible plan,” Edwards rebutted. “I’ve never said no to cookies, but that’s not going to work.”

Liberty also plans to install a new mail system on campus.

“I will put what is called ‘electronic mail’ into the interwebs on campus,” Liberty said. “It will revolutionize the way we do business.”

If elected, Edwards and Liberty will not shy away from reorganizing the structure of the Student Governing Association.

“We want to get rid of SGA completely and replace it with a monarchy that redirects all the power towards us,” Edwards said. “We will be chancellor and vice-chancellor.”

Though they have a campaign manager, Edwards and Liberty have been organizing their election strategy on their own.

“We have a campaign manager, but he is completely incompetent,” Edwards said. “We have to do everything ourselves. It’s been hard.”

Running under the slogan, “The law of the land is the law of my hand,” Edwards and Liberty said they want to try unique campaign tactics.

“We notice the other campaigns have been using Twitter or Facebook to promote their campaigns. We want to use Xanga because it is American,” Edwards said.

Liberty does not promise to solve the problems of the student body if elected.

“We don’t care what the student body says,” Liberty said. “We are going to do things our own way because we have the power.”

Primary elections will be held March 8.
