It's Business Time

by AuthorEagleionline Staff DateTuesday, March 16, 2010 at 11:59PM

The following was submitted by Frank Zonars, a candidate for LSA Secretary.

It’s almost decision time, and the tone of the election is becoming more serious.  Here is a short post directed at those students who value substance over hilarity:

Secretary’s Role

Under the LSA Bylaws, the Secretary circulates new amendments to the bylaws (Bylaw 103(c)-(d)), prepares documents for meetings (Bylaw 204(b)(3)-(4)), and publishes legislation for the student body to view (Bylaw 204(b)(6)).  Important…but bo-ring.

I think the Secretary should be more than just a record-keeper; He should act as a liaison between the student body and the LSA leadership.

Students often complain that they don’t know what the LSA does.

Vote NATE for LSA President

by AuthorNate Burris DateTuesday, March 16, 2010 at 09:20PM

BC Law faces some big choices this week. 

Starting tomorrow, we’ll elect our new LSA officers.  While I’m well aware that many would disagree that this is a “big choice,” few people realize that they are in fact invested in the LSA, and indeed, in this election.   

If you’re reading this and you’re a student at BC Law, you gave the LSA about $84 this year (of the $110 Law Student Association fee paid by every student, 76% goes directly to the LSA).  By the time you’ve graduated, you’ll have given over $250 to the LSA – perhaps more, when one also considers additional funding given to the LSA by the Law School. 

This is your hard earned cash, so before you vote, ask yourself: who do you want spending your money?

Dylan Hayre - Asking for Your Vote

by AuthorDylan Hayre DateTuesday, March 16, 2010 at 09:10PM

It has been a pleasure meeting with all of you over the past eight days. I had the opportunity to speak with people I don’t always get the chance to speak with, and I enjoyed hearing your input and your ideas about what you expect from your LSA in the year ahead.

Like Lauren and Matt, the President and Vice-President this past year, I seek this role without having had direct experience on the LSA Elected Board; the experience that I bring to the table comes from the work I have done on behalf of the student body and the school in various roles. This past year alone, I have:

Left of the Dial (Music Reviews) - Special Prom Edition

by AuthorScrilla in Vanilla DateTuesday, March 16, 2010 at 03:03PM

Promenade

This Friday marks the return of my favorite LSA event, the Law Prom. Since, for all intents and purposes, we go to high school (with the lockers, section cliques, cafeteria, and litany of rumors and gossip) the prom is the perfect cap to the atmosphere. Prom always turns into a more formally dressed bar review with drunken debauchery, sex behind curtains, shirtless pictures with Dean Garvey, and inappropriate dancing. It can either end in heartache or hook-up (be it enjoyable or regrettable), interspersed with drama, blackouts, photo booths, drunken yelling, a cheese plate, and the occasional loss of balance. Outside of formal drinking, and the prospect of some nice-nice, what makes or breaks a prom is the ambiance created by the music. So in lieu of an album review, I will review prom playlists.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out how the profession of a dance DJ still exists, with the invention of the iPod, internet, last.fm, Pandora, and even simple mix CDs. Logic aside, they do still have a job. Instead of launching into a Nick Hornby-esque recitation of the do’s and don’ts of creating a mix, I will try to outline specifics of what I look for in the playlist. It is necessary to create a feel combining elements of a middle school dance party with club music, and

Anthony Vargas: Experience Gets the Job Done

by AuthorAnthony Vargas DateTuesday, March 16, 2010 at 10:34AM in ,

     There is a great deal that the LSA can do to advocate for law student needs with the administration at BC Law and at Boston College in general, and it is important to understand that the LSA does so with a variety of logistical, budgetary, and bureaucratic restraints on a regular basis. The best person to lead the LSA is not the candidate making the most promises to the student body, but the person equipped with the knowledge, experience, and track record to be an effective president. I am the best qualified candidate for the position of LSA president because I have the most nuanced understanding of how the LSA functions and how to accomplish the most given those realities.

For two years, I have had the privilege of serving the student body on the LSA’s Elected Board as both a 1L Rep and a 2L Rep

The Online Dating Scene – Part I: Lists and Rules

by AuthorFrank Ahn DateMonday, March 15, 2010 at 03:51PM

The Online Dating Scene – Everyone’s Doing It, Even the Cool Kids!

Part I: Lists and Rules

It is February 15, the day after Valentine’s Day, and I have decided to begin my foray into online dating. Did the fact that I was single on a day when everyone was with their significant others play a part in my decision? Yes, but a small part. In response to this, I suppose I should start by introducing myself and assuring readers of a few things:

1)      I’m not lonely. In fact, I’m usually surrounded by people and I suspect I go out more than most students at BCLS. I’m your average grad student who procrastinates, hangs out with friends, and occasionally goes clubbing/bar-hopping. Just last week, I met a girl at a club, got her number, and took her out on a date.[1] Why am I detailing my personal life? Because I’m insecure that you might think I’m a loser for doing this. Again, the preconceptions I have about joining OKCupid prevail.

2)      I’m not desperate. My last girlfriend and I broke up not too long ago (but not so recently that this is my way of getting over her) and though 27 feels old when I realize my parents married at 25, 40 also happens to be the new 30. By that logic, I’m today’s version of a rebellious, recently licensed-to-drive, mid-pubescent, testosterone-filled 17-year-old.

Candidate Statement: Frank Zonars

by AuthorEagleionline Staff DateMonday, March 15, 2010 at 11:44AM in ,

Eagleionline received the following statement from Frank Zonars, Candidate for Law Students Association (LSA) Secretary. Eagleionline thanks Frank for his submission (and Dylan Hayre and Peter Foundas before him)Date, and encourages all candidates to post their press releases, platforms, links to Facebook pages, advertisements and the like on Eagleionline to help the student body make a more informed choice about their elected representatives during the 2010-11 academic year. 

I’m Frank Zonars and I ask for your vote this week for LSA Secretary!

If you don’t care much about the LSA, skip straight to my persuasive campaign video:

If you DO care about the LSA, read my statement:

I want every student at BCLS to feel that they have a voice.  As an undergrad I felt disconnected from my university, and I don’t want my classmates at BC to feel that way.  Even though most of us are more concerned with exams and finding jobs than the LSA, all students should feel that they can have a voice in the day-to-day life of the law school.

As a 1L rep, I strove to make sure that Section 2’s voice was heard.  I was proud to be involved in

Candidate Statement: Peter Foundas

by AuthorEagleionline Staff DateSunday, March 14, 2010 at 11:11PM in ,

Eagleionline received the following statement from Peter Foundas, Candidate for Law Students Association (LSA) Treasurer. Eagleionline thanks Peter for his submission (and Dylan Hayre before him)Date, and encourages all candidates to post their press releases, platforms, links to Facebook pages, advertisements and the like on Eagleionline to help the student body make a more informed choice about their elected representatives during the 2010-11 academic year. 

My name is Peter Foundas and I hope to serve the BC Law community next year as Treasurer of the LSA. Basically the Treasurer is responsible for insuring all LSA funds are being spent appropriately. However in addition to that I see the position as one that presents a unique opportunity to not only insure transparency as to how the LSA spends its money, but also to hold the administration accountable to the students, the real stakeholders in the school, as to how the school allocates its resources. I want to work with next year’s board to insure every dollar of tuition is being spent wisely, and to marshal all the resources of the LSA to help keep BC Law attractive to employers from all fields: big firms, public interest and government.

I have had the privilege as serving as
