    Clear case of first is last and last should be first. What a waste?

    As stated above this was not scientific, people were pretty much allowed to vote as many times as they wanted. Don’t understand how this could be well deserved.

      Because they sound and look amazing. That’s why it’s well deserved.

    Miles students work just as hard as students at our other institutions and deserve their accolades . It’s so sad that we STILL have the crab in a barrel mentatlity…..the opportunity to vote was there for over a week and 18k votes is by no means an error. Congratulations Mileans
