Developed for the [[EphVote]] student voter registration campaign.\n\nWhat NOT to do if something doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t work:\n* Give up.\n\nWhat to do:\n* Fix it yourself! Usually some creative [http://www.google.com Googling] (use keywords like \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcelection\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 or \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcvoter\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and their variations) will get you to the right place. Please update the page when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve found a solution to a problem!\n\nVoter registration takes place on a local level. Each state has its own form. In order to get a ballot in your SU Box, you will need to complete two tasks: registering to vote and requesting an absentee or mail-in ballot. Registering is not enough! \n\nFollow the state-specific directions. In every case, you will have to fill out and mail in a form. Adobe Acrobat (installed on all college computers) is required to open most of them. The Office of Community Service will pay for postage \u00e2\u20ac\u201c please drop off fully and properly addressed envelopes at Siskind House (in the quad behind Schow), and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll put it in the mail. However, we are not responsible for the consequences if the form has been improperly filled out or the envelope incorrectly addressed. Please check that your form is complete BEFORE you send it or drop it off in Siskind. \n\nSome states require you to request an application for absentee balloting. In this case, you will fill out the form, send it in (either physically or electronically), receive the application, fill it out, and mail it back in. You must follow this procedure in order to receive your absentee ballot. \n\nMost forms will go to a county election office. The lists of the office addresses are included with the instructions. To determine your county, go to [http://fvap.gov/links/county.html FVAP.gov]. Most of them also have telephone numbers to allow you to check on the processing of your forms. If not, contact your Secretary of State at the office telephone number.\n\nIf you need to find a notary public, contact the Williamstown Town Clerk/Registrar of Voters at 458-9341.\n\n\n== Alabama ==\n# Fill out the [http://www.fec.gov/votregis/pdf/nvra.pdf National Voter Registration Application] and check for Alabama guidelines in the state-specific instructions.\n# Fill out the [http://www.sos.state.al.us/downloads/dl3.cfm?trgturl=election/2004/generalabsentee.pdf&trgtfile=generalabsentee.pdf absentee ballot request].\n# Mail everything and a copy of a government-issued ID (driver's license) to your [http://www.sos.state.al.us/cf/election/all.cfm?trgtoffice=Circuit%20Clerk county clerk].\n\n== Alaska ==\n# Fill out the [http://www.fec.gov/votregis/pdf/nvra.pdf National Voter Registration Application] and check for Alaska guidelines in the state-specific instructions.\n# Fill out the [http://www.gov.state.ak.us/ltgov/elections/c06w.pdf absentee ballot request form]\n# Mail everything and a copy of a government-issued ID (driver\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s license) to: Alaska Division of Elections, Absentee Voting Section, PO Box 110017, Juneau, AK 99811-0017 OR fax it all to (907) 465-3203.\n\n== Arizona ==\nQuestions?

"*": "[[Category:Advice]]\nRelationships are like a giant spider-web of one-way arrows. You have interest in a few other people, they have interest in a few other people, et cetera. Even when the arrows are two-way, they may be of different thickness, since people may well like each other in different degrees. When you get a two-way arrow, the greatest common interest denominator will generally drive the relationship. In the rare relationship, these arrows are roughly identical to begin with. More often, they will differ, but still be quite workable in some form, even if the greatest common denominator of hookup and marriage is hookup.\n\nThe long term high school relation will generally fail after one or two years. However, this will put you in a better position than all those of your classmates who immediately got wifed with some upperclassman/entry mate within the first semester because you'll have much better friends. Regardless of whom you're [[dating]], don't ignore your friends for your relationship.\n\nLong distance relationships can be troublesome, and some people would suggest that you avoid them at all costs. They generally only work when both parties are really committed to the relationship; they pretty much invariably don't work if you're more attracted to your S.O.'s hot body than to their witty banter. They also pretty much invariably don't work out if you're more attracted to your S.O.'s witty banter than to their hot body. Don't date someone at home while you're abroad; the results will be <i>disastrous</i>. Even if you're happy at school, leave it while you're away and come back when you return.\n\nNeither girls nor boys make sense.\n\nIf at all possible, avoid getting involved (whether in a relationship or simply a casual hook-up) with one of your entrymates (\"entry incest\") or, God forbid, someone in your a cappella group. Imagine spending two or three years having to sing cheerfully next to someone you went through a nasty breakup with, and you'll understand why. Unless you're really, really sure that that nasty breakup won't ever happen, it's probably not worth it. It is ''possible'' to date outside your a cappella group. In theory.\n\nDon't feel obligated to actually be in a relationship while here. While some people feel the need to \"pretend\" to be happy being single, it really does provide freedom and entertainment for extended periods of time. You'll also have more time to study.\n\nThe ''Boston Globe'' ran an [http://www.boston.com/news/education/higher/articles/2004/02/09/for_dateless_on_campus_idea_clicks/ article] about Williams relationships. An excerpt: \n\n<blockquote>At Williams, the refrain is that everyone is either \"married\" -- inseparable from their significant other -- or prone to \"hook up\" with people in casual, usually drunken, encounters. Or they have no love life at all.</blockquote>\n\nGet tested. When you give blood, they will check your blood, but it might not be their responsibility to tell you results. You can get an AIDS test now in thirty minutes; most other forms can be done by urine sample. It's easy, quick, and probably free at the health center -- there's no reason not to.\n\nThis is not exactly an unbiased source of funding for a report of its kind, but it is a rather interesting study nonetheless -- arguably pretty compelling evidence that college women get the short end of the stick when it comes to the hookup/marriage culture at places like Williams. (and of course, sometimes men do, too.)
