  FATSSSA DECIDES; Changing the ill-fated Electoral Culture  by Habib Lanlehin . "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”- Dr Martin Luther King Jr.  “There’s no such thing as a vote that doesn’t matter. It all matters.” - Barack Obama  Going through rudiments of what election entails and what culture points to is as unnecessary as the inclusion of the letter “P” in “ psychology “. This is not a calculus class where I bore you with imaginary “ DY/DX “ nor is it a sociology class where I have to strain your eyes and write an “ unending “ note. FATSSSA is a faculty where we pride ourselves on the study of politics, human behaviours and Interaction and the study of human society at large. But does our learning start from the classroom or end in the exam halls? Or do we duly follow  all we learn and sweat for in the “ LLT “ on a hot afternoon? This is an important question all FATSSSAites need to ponder on a few hours before the election.  PRESS NIGH
