North Dakota State Students Elect A Homeless Cat To Their Student Government

[TexasTowelie]

Could you name your school’s student body president? My bet is that you probably couldn’t. That’s certainly not a slight towards you. I couldn’t answer the question correctly myself. Nobody of any sanity really gives a damn about student government, and rightfully so.

The students at North Dakota State University have an exceptionally low desire to participate in their student government, as only 13 percent of their student body even bothered to vote in their annual elections. Even more telling was the fact that there were eleven senator spots, yet only five candidates. They couldn’t even fill the ballots. What this means was that more than half of those elected would be the result of write-in votes, the perfect storm for a mischievous student.

Meet Professor X, a homeless cat that was recently adopted earlier this year by an NDSU sophomore and his roommate. The trifecta of the American flag background, the authoritative lean on the armrest, and a face that appears to be connected to no brain activity immediately qualified him as a candidate for student government.

The student newspaper attempted to conduct an interview with the cat’s “press secretary,” but it was less than spectacular, so we’ll stick to the truly funny aspect of this story — a fucking cat was elected to student government. That’s a giant middle finger to the morons accosting innocent students begrudgingly shuffling to class.

1. Cool...in 65 we elected Verne...

Did the whole campaign and everything...he/she was elected student body pres. And of course didn't exist. Most of us also stopped standing and saying the pledge. Rebellious bunch.

Somewhere in this country, out west I think, they elected a dog for mayor...she's probably a good mayor too.

2. Professor X definitely has the gravitas to handle his new duties.

3. The article said that some of the students misspelled his name.

I wonder if some of them wrote in "Purrfessor X" instead?
