Senate to fulfill the obligation
they took when they decided to
accept their respective positions."
Both candidates campaigned on
a platform including parking,
college drinking, campus
activities, and the Student
Activity fee.
"I'm not going to sit up here

bring SGA to the students, not
the students to us.”
