Trail Mix: The Student Government Shenanigans Edition

December 05, 2007 06:19 PM ET | Alison Go | Permanent Link

*The West Virginia University student government president resigned this week after being arrested over the weekend for driving under the influence, the Daily Athenaeum reports.

*The graduate senate president at the University of Southern California who allegedly used his organization's gift certificates to buy himself a $560 laptop will remain in office, the Daily Trojan writes.

*And lastly, an update on the Princeton presidential candidate who has come under fire for his blackface-like Halloween costume: With the endorsement of the Black Student Union, he won the election by a landslide, the Princetonian reports. "There are some people who seek to use race as a weapon to divide us," he said. "[By] coming together...we will continue to overcome racism on campus."

I just love happy endings.
