He also reorganized student traffic court and established the SEC Student Body Officers Coalition. "The experience allowed me to mature as a leader and as a young adult," Young said. He is now in law school at USC. The 1995-96 SG president Amy Bigham served as vice president her sophomore year and found that "if s realty hard to get it out of your system" after working with issues affecting the school. Her administration has worked on the course repeat policy, which will hopefully be in effect soon. It will allow students to repeat up to three courses in which they received a "C" or lower to get a better grade. Bigham has also made plans for major improvements on the Blossom Street Garage, concentrating on lighting. Tve been made aware of issues I didn't even know existed," she said. Leadership has benefited her "in a big way" and taught her "how things work in the real world." After college, Bigham will go to graduate school and study politics while working on her father's campaign for U.S. Congress. Student body politics exists for the benefit and well-being of students. Voting for SG takes place today. SCIENCE continued from page 1 They should also discuss an experience that significantly influenced their work in the sciences.

"They (students) are, in fact, full members of the committee, and their input is taken seriously. What a student sees might be something we (faculty) may not," Eastman said. Laura Hall, the student representative on the Curricula and Courses Committee, said many crucial university decisions are made through committees, but students and SG candidates are often not aware of this. "I think some of the most important policies are enacted by the Faculty Senate and Faculty Senate Committees?that's basically where it happens," she said. "(SG) candidates don't express an understanding of how particular policies are implemented or changed. Candidates can't make promises that SG doesn't have anything to do with." SG president is responsible for onnAmfmrr afn^onfa fn fVinaa nwiuftvoifxr obuugjiio tw wivov UIUTCI oitj committees; The president has a lot of influence (through the) power to appoint students to committees," Carothers said. "A lot of university governance takes place through these committees. The most effective officers in the past were those who have had a wide network of students that participated on those committees." While university committees possess a great deal of power, so does the South Carolina legislature. Higher education funding and a cap on tuition and fees are also issues handled by the state legislature. Bigham said SG has considerable power to influence the state legislature, although there is much SG does not have NEW YEARS continued from page 1 The first year they lived in Thailand, Nguyen and her family slept in a room with no beds, covers or doors. Her mother and sister worked in a cafe, and her brothers worked in a Thailand kitchen until late at night. Nguyen said the second year was a little better.

Shively said incoming SG officers need to concentrate more on how current money is being spent rather than lobbying for increased funding. They need to see how money we do have is being spent," she said. In addition to many of the goals set by presidential candidates, vice r presidential and treasurer candidates have their own goals, including: strengthening power of the SG Senate, establishing a treasurer's luncheon, grade forgiveness, better advisement and settling Greek housing issues. Many of these goals must also go through the various Faculty Senate and special university advisory committees. Hie Greek Village and Greek housing has gotten a lot of attention the past few months aside from attention from the candidates for treasurer. "It is not something the Student Government itself can deal with. It is not a v&y important issue," said Jermaine Britton, current SG treasurer. Britton likes the idea of a treasurer luncheon but believes student organizations can better benefit from an entire executive gathering. From there, he feels more coprogramming opportunities can develop. Vice presidential candidates are also interested in strengthening the authority of the senate. Shively had similar goals last year but now sees how difficult they are to attain. "One thing the vice president won't have control over is senate accountability," she said. Shively said she had little control over keeping senators interested in their work. so we could build beds, and they taught us with English," Nguyen said.
