picked up where Ramsdale left off by
installing eight more call boxes. 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.

PLATFORMS continued from pa
encouraged students to be involved with
the many university committees.
"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

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

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.

much control over.
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.
