The Conlon/O’Brien ticket for off-campus students
Friday, Aug. 28, 2020
When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for young people to venture out from their familiar surroundings into the great unknown, to assume responsibility for themselves, it is necessary for them to retain their rights after their departure from the protective wings of their former guardian. The decision to leave campus requires the flower of the Irish youth to withdraw from Notre Dame’s unparalleled dorm culture, deep friendships and unique experiences (often without AC) that define students’ initial years at Our Lady’s University. Leaving this home away from home is stressful enough without the University punishing those who make this decision with alienating policies. I can only imagine how many of you off-campus students feel like Princess Leia right now, at the edge of an ailing revolution, looking for your Obi-Wan to save you. Fortunately, Brian Conlon and Brennan O’Brien both bear passing resemblances to Sir Alec Guinness, so we can be your only hope. Our campaign for Off-Campus President and Vice-President aims to push for more favorable representation for off-campus students in all relations with the University and student government alike. Despite what the University may lead you to believe, we are Notre Dame students just like everybody else. We have rights. This ticket has several actionable policies we intend on immediately fighting to implement upon our election.
