Voters elect six senators By Colleen Wedell
Almost three times as many people voted in last week's Associated Student Government's senatorial elections as did in last spring's presidential election. Six students ran to fill the ten senatorial positions. There are still four open positions. The new senators are Maria Villalobos, Pat Gualtieri, Dora Silva, Tom Archer, Mohannad Almuzaini and Syed MehdL Most of the new senators have experience working in the ASG. Tom Archer was the only senator last year to stay through his term all year. He is serving his second term. Mohannad Almuzaini serves on the Inter-Club Council and has been a part of the ASG before in addition to taking part in other clubs on campus. Dora Silva and Pat Gualtieri were temporarily elected to the ASG earlier this semester. Only Maria Villalobos and Syed Mehdi have no previous experience in ASG.
With 176 votes, over 1% of the student body voted. While it doesn't sound like many, it is, compared to recent voting results for ASG elections. Kim Scanlan, ASG president, accounted for the change. "I've thought about it and I think the people running just went around saying 'Vote for me'. We all worked at it and it publicized the elections". The senators will be expected to fill in at least three hours a week in ASG business, Le. publicizing events, planning, etc., attend meetings and participate in activities. To win an election, 25% of the votes are required and all the senators got 25% or more.
The first meeting with the new senators was last Wednesday. A conference was held Thursday, October 17 to "break-in" the newly elected. It was a condensed version of the three day retreat the ASG had before school started. This was just one day and was held at Vacation Village. They discussed agendas, the ASG budget, how to motion, how a meeting is run and other important information. Drs. Boggs and Burns attended to meet the senators. The ASG wanted the new senators to meet the administrators and the ICC members and to get an idea of how the ASG functions.
