Publicifytol I By Rachel Waterhouse <# SG president-elect Barry Gray said publicity will be his top priority for next year's Student Government. Gray said lack of publicity has been a major problem for this year's Student Government. "The projects Student Government did weren't publicized well enough to the student," he said. Gray said he would like to have an - open forum with the Student Trustee Liaison Committee in which students could address the committee with their questions and problems. The committee consists of students and board of trustee members who meet several times each semester to discuss student problems. THE SG election process, which has J often been the subject of controversy, I should be changed to "safeguard against mistakes made this year," ? Gray said. Gray has not been inaugurated as SG president because presidential candidate Jim Doyle appealed the results of the March 8 elections. Campus Court denied Doyle's appeal, but he has the option of appealing to the campus Supreme Court to overa ii j turn me uecisiun. The inauguration is scheduled for Friday, but it will be delayed if Doyle files an appeal before then, according to SG President Ashley Abel. Doyle has until Monday to file. ?
