Simon Pure

Mr. Homer objected to the plan,
saying "Why compromise at all?
Let's either elect him ourselves
or let the students do it themselves,
not say 'Well, students,
here is your choice. We'll give
you three candidates all selected
as Simon Pure, and they're all
great guys.' "

"We entrust our most sacred
thing, the Honor System, to student
vote." said Bill Moses. "Why
shouldn't we do it with the president
of the student body?"
