ELECTIONS CCE SGA election results to be announced Continued from Page I body their goals and what they planned on doing once elected.." 'The purpose of running individually was to give students more ability to select their execu tives, rather than be stuck with a candidate you would not normally choose simply because Aey were on a ticket with candidates that you sup ported," Schurz said. "If this concept was fully carried out, without encouraged and informal candidate coalitions, then I believe it would have been a great opportunity for the voters." According to Alazrak, one of his immediate goals for next year include working closely with campus clubs, and continuing efforts on the social honor code. "I am really going to be pushing to net work with other orga nizations," Alazrak said. "I am going to try to encourage orga nizations to work with each other, and we might see some changes to the Inter- Club Council next year." Alazrak also noted that he would like to talk with as many students as possible in the last weeks of the semester. " I am going to be holding as many office hours as I can," Alazrak said. "I want to hear what the big issues are and I want to investigate those issues. Then, I want to start acting on the ones that are within our reach." For Alazrak, his motto for next year says it all. • "Focus on the things that are winnable, focus on the things that are already started and, hope fully, that will send a message that Senate is a place where things get done." CCE ELECTIONS CCE SGA elections took place over Aprjl 4-6. "Focus on the things that are winnable, focus on the things that are already started and, hopefully, that will send a message that Senate is a place where things get done." Yahya Alazarak, Senate President Elect The three-day voting period was intended to help accommodate CCE students' potentially busy schedules. A candidate ran unopposed in every race, with the exception of the race for CCE SGA president. The two candidates were Bernadette Howell and Jean Kelley. Howell ran on a platform of integrating CCE students with the campus community more. "I will build on the platform that is working in the SGA at this time that keeps the CCE students informed and active within the adult student population through campus events, socials, and workshops that have enhanced the adult student experience," says a piece of Howell's campaign material. Kelley ran on a similar platform. "I want the SGA to grow, and become a better organization," Kelley said. "I'd like for it to work with Community Senate a little bit, because right now we don't do anything with them at all although we essentially do the same thing for differ- pgQpjg " Kelley also used the slogan "Vote for Experience" to promote her campaign, referring to her past involvement with the CCE SGA. "I have been the activities director for the past year," Kelley said. "I've planned every event this year. I loved doing it and I want to get more involved." Howell also used her experience to promote her campaign, pointing to her experience in student government and volunteer work in her campaign material.
