3. And when he got called out for it.

4. When the VP External Relations candidates all treated each other with respect and support.

5. And ended up seeming inseparable — both as friends and candidates.

6. They didn’t help themselves to fix it.

7. When VP External Relations candidate Karan Thukral removed his hoodie to reveal a shirt with student demands written all over it. Literally.
