- Slates offer a lot of benefits that running as an ["ASUCD Independents" independent] could never offer. Independents may have street cred, but slates already have an open door into many organizations. Fraternities traditionally supports Student Focus. ["On Campus Co-ops" Co-op] people clearly supported the Friends during their brief existence. Much of LEAD's support comes from ethnic/cultural organizations.	+ Slates offer a lot of benefits that running as an ["ASUCD Independents" independent] could never offer. Independents may have street cred, but slates already have an open door into many organizations. ["On Campus Co-ops" Co-op] people clearly supported the Friends during their brief existence. Much of LEAD's support comes from ethnic/cultural organizations. ACT seems to garner support largely from environmentalist groups and communities.

- Generally speaking, slates are coalitions of candidates who team up to campaign for an office during a single election. Political parties differ in that they have members who are not candidates for office, they field candidates in multiple elections, and they tend to vote as blocks. Clearly what we have on campus at least in GO and Lead are political parties and not slates. Why the wrong terminology then? Perhaps its to combat cynisism towards national political parties, or perhaps its the identification of lead and slate both being types of rock, while go is a game played with rocks.	+ Generally speaking, slates are coalitions of candidates who team up to campaign for an office during a single election.

- And on a slate, one person does not have to go to every group. Fellow candidates can pick up the slack.

This tactic of allowing an ambush of the poor candidate assigned to go to ["Davis College Republicans"] isn't very effective at getting votes, but that person has the least status in the clique and thus deserves to be sent.

	+ == Slates: A Misnomer == + Generally speaking, slates are coalitions of candidates who team up to campaign for an office during a single election. Political parties differ in that they have members who are not candidates for office, they field candidates in multiple elections, and they tend to vote as blocks. Clearly what we have on campus at least in Focus and Lead are political parties and not slates. Why the wrong terminology then? Perhaps its to combat cynisism towards national political parties, or perhaps its the identification of lead and slate both being types of rock. +
