Senate: New for ‘06

By Kim Tenure

The polls closed on March 31st and the results were:
President: Steve Ginter
Vice President: Eric Williams
Treasurer: Owen Carhart
Secretary: Jenn Amols

The two remaining positions, parliamentarian and clubs liaison are appointed positions and will be announced within the coming weeks before senate transitions with the new governing board.

Next year’s senate has a lot to live up to and accomplish. The implementation of the Student Activities fee will make more money available to student clubs and organizations; it will be interesting to see how the money is distributed and what new activities will be brought to campus.

The best opportunity for student involvement on campus is to be active in student senate. Clubs are required to send representatives, but most senate meetings are open to anyone. It is not only a great way to get involved but to be informed about what is happening on campus.

Other elections that are coming up are class officers. Make sure to go out and support your picks. Look for advertisements within the upcoming week about who is running for what office, and the gburgforum will keep you up to date as well. Voting is open to everyone in that class, thusly rising seniors will vote for their president, vice-president, treasurer, and secretary; subsequently each class will do the same.

Once again, the gburgforum urges you to go out, and as P. Diddy said “Rock the Vote.”
