a lot of apathy this year. ”
According to Dreiling, the elec
tion win won’t let her forget about
her goals as safety director for the
rest of the semester.
“I have a big safety project coming
up in March,” Dreiling said. “It’s go
ing to be a whole week of safety is
sues.”
Dreiling said the best part of be
ing a candidate was getting to meet
a lot of new people. “Whether I won
or lost, I really learned a lot, and I
met so many people doing this,” she
said.
This year’s vice presidential elec
tion began with three official can
didates. The Carolina Student
Judicial Council ruled White, a
graduate student in the College of
Liberal Arts, wasn’t allowed to run
because he wasn’t in good academic
standing with his college.
Dreiling’s platform stresses ac
tively communicating with students
to defend budget, parking and safety
issues. She said the most indis
pensable element of her proposals
is the students’ input.
Dreiling said hepplatform issues
are the most pressing concerns for
students on campus. She added that
she has listened to students’ concerns
to formulate Wer goals.
Dreiling said she wasn’t going to
worry about her upcoming job too
much in the coming weeks. She said
her campaign supporters would
take her out to celebrate after the
victory announcement, and added
that her Cabinet position is her top
priority for now.

other campaigns for the things
that we’re talking about in our
platform,” he said.
Like Bornemann, Patel
plans to stay with the strategy
he has pursued so far.
“We’re going to do the same
thing: talk to organizations, talk
to students, let them know what
we’re about,” he said. “I think if s
the best way to make sure that
the students are informed, and
it’s the best way to kind of en
courage them to go out and vote.”
Bristow said he was disap
pointed in the results and said
the presidency was “something
I’d wanted for a long time.” But
he complimented his campaign
staff on their effort.
“We have no regrets because
we left it all out there,” Bristow
said. “That’s all you can ask for.”
Bristow said he would continue
to try to push parts of his platform
through Student Senate. An effort
two weeks ago to pass a resolution
encouraging online syllabuses suc
ceeded after a long debate.
“I hope Senate will be able to
work with me on them, and then
we can get them passed for the stu
dent body,” Bristow said.
While Brown said she, too, was
disappointed at her loss, she said
she was encouraged by the high vot
er turnout, saying it fit in with her
goal of higher student participation
“That was one of the main
things I was working for,” Brown
said. “Any time people get in
volved, that’s a good thing.”
Elections Commissioner Adam
Bourne said he was excited about
the high voter turnout.
“I think it’s a credit to the can
didates’ hard work and enthusi
asm, and I was very pleased,” he
said.
Bourne said he hoped the
turnout would also be high for the
runoff.
“I think it’s going to depend on
a lot of variables. But I think over
all we can count on high turnout
next week as well,” he said.
McFadden couldn’t be reached
for comment.
