"I think our first priority is to
realize we've been elected," he
said.
On Ricks' ticket are Paige
Mahaney, vice president, Gilbert
Bailey, treasurer, and Jason
Smith, secretary.
Peter Smith said he wasn't
disappointed with his ticket's
performance. "[We] ran on some
issues which we felt were very
important for Senate," he said,
"but the students voted other
wise."
Ricks said that at no point in
the campaign did he know his
ticket would win. "Lots of people
told us they were voting for us,"
he said, "but we didn't take any
thing for granted."
Mahaney said she is starting
work organizing a parade and
