What Thursday night's ASG elections could mean for Northwestern student-athletes

Anthony Walker, Clayton Thorson and other NU student-athletes have endorsed Joji Syed and Archie Baskaran.

Starting Thursday at 5 p.m., Northwestern students will begin casting their votes for the next president and executive vice-president of the university's Associated Student Government. This year, for the first time in recent memory, one ticket has made a group long an afterthought in campus life central to its campaign: student-athletes.

This year's election has been dominated by talk of better representation for marginalized students on campus and Joji Syed and her running partner, Archie Baskaran, consider student-athletes to be a part of that group as well.
