With 510 votes, James Wells and Luke Miedreich were elected Student Government Association President and Vice President. The Francesco Vivacqua/Anil Beria ticket received 247 votes.

"It's been a long three months and now it's finally done and Jimmy and I are ready to work extremely hard for the upcoming year," Miedreich added.

just read the article christine hinkle wrote, she's some associate/director/dean of student affairs (i dont remember the fancy title), who thought she'd put in her two cents.

well when you're working two jobs, going to school full time and paying 50,000 a year, you think you might be able to get your moneys worth... especially when you are charged fees you have no control over.

so get off your high horse, christine hinkle and stop pretending the sga isnt corrupt.

People were upset with my sudden bashing on students of Hofstra University, so I decided to remain dead but this election, with the drama, the mediocre candidates (presidents with dry and dead personalities that if who ever was elected will always be nobodies, and vice presidents with personalities that will never make it in the real world, maybe Beria I mean he can sell stuff but Miedreich? Bashing on people, cursing and insulting your supporters? That is no way to act my love. You're gay! Be like a gay and be lovable, why do people in SGA like you so much? Maybe because you are white and they find no personal hate or offense against other races. I apologize Luke but what you did was not okay, and I know you know that. I mean people understand the reasons why you as a candidate was a smart thing. However, you were always a weak candidate. What arr you going to do next year? Make destination runway and rape freshman sga babies? No!no!no! Honey! I like you, because we are very alike, we're both horrible people that pretend to be good in order to get what we want. There are a lot of people in SGA and hofstra that do much more than you do, but they don't have your obnoxious personality to get the attention. Now, my suggestion for you is to show some respect to Hofstra and the human race and lay low! As vice president all you do is deal with the senators, let James do all the work, so get some scissors and cut his strings! He needs you in order to be alive, without you he is nothing and he knows it. Let him get a backbone so your administration next year is succesful. I would love to bash on Anil but the pathetic vote coubt he received is enough, I don't know the other fat one but he should lay low too. Okay so the comments above are like so lovely because they all talk about Victoria Vullo, now let's be honest here who reads these things? No one, I read them on occasion, but no students reads these stories, no matter how much you try or want to pretend to try! No one really reads these, so who would write here? Oh yes! The Chronicle people themselves, for one I want to congratulate that you have your first non-chronicle person write here. I wish I had a website like gossip girl so there would be a BLOG dedicated to you and your members. Now if you read this carefully, Juicy Campus Girl is not nice to anyone, Juicy Campus Girl should be feared. I wish I was alive for a long time so the world would see the truth! I am not a slanderer but I do have my opinions! And people should send me comments and opinions on my e-mail wish I will make soon! The things you send however, has to have some proof. Now Chronicle or should I say Nonsense? I mean both clubs combined when some crazy tall guy and some short crazy girl decided to destroy the SGA office, your news is trash! If you complained the mysterious disapperance of your articles last week, yeah, that picture was people that said oh look toilet paper and threw it in the garbage, shame on all of you!!! Slander is bad! Lol I'm kind of drunk from happy hour so my randomness should be excused,

Well, well, well, do you guys remember Juicy campus? Well, I'm Juicy Campus Girl, a form of beauty that gossips on the massive and naïve people of Hofstra. Now, why am I commenting on the Chronicle website? Well, when I was born by the magical powers of the internet, I wrote my article based on Akeem Mellis, a horrible horrible man that likes to torment women and people around him! This is based on the email I received with comments about him, I never said directly that he's awful, I met him nice guy but can you spell awkward? and two brothers from Delta Chi.

i am so glad that i am a senior and that i'll be out of this school by the time this actually becomes relevant. this is the 2nd time the "student body" has voted for the wrong ticket. i say "student body" loosely, because out of the THOUSANDS of students at this school, not even a thousand voted?

2 years ago the students elected a ticket which contained a student who made no secret his plans to TRANSFER after the election. the benefit of this whole thing is that SGA really doesn't do anything. they sit in meetings and don't do much other than discuss nonsense. don't believe me? sit in on a meeting.

Would you rather have two unqualified people run your school, or two unqualified ones who think it's okay to go black face because one black guy says its cool?

It's a shame that the Hofstra community hasn't stepped up to A) provide two better leaders, the same calibre as past and current candidates and leaders and B) vote for a pair of people that aren't quite as idiotic as Wells and Pig.

Get ready for a year of t-shirts that are meant for 150 pound females on 300 pound males and speeches that will put us all to sleep. Hopefully next year some truly innovative people will step up.

Oink oink there's a pig in office!
