Freshmen and upperclassmen senator and club representative candidates

I don’t think it takes a
position on the SGA to
make a difference on cam-
pus. Anyone can go to
events, support clubs and
students, and get their voice
heard. Regardless of
whether or not I become a
senator, I plan to continue
being involved with stu-
dents and organizations on
campus. However, being a
senator would help me take
problems I might find
directly to the SGA so they
can be quickly heard and
resolved. We are the stu-
dent government associa
tion, and it’s important we
focus not just on clubs, but
on all the students *

DELIA CH!
I am a sophomore here at Behrend and I have found that I would
like to get more involved in the student affairs that affect me and
the rest of the college. I want to help make die important decisions
on what to do with the funding that is allotted for student activities,
to better represent the student population, and help voice their opin
ions. If you elect me, I promise to do the best job possible in bring
ing up any idea and making good decisions that will benefit the
general population.
Matchbox Players
The Matchbox Players is Behrend’s only theatre organization.
Every semester, we diligently work to provide on and off campus
theatrical entertainment. We promote, encourage, and execute vari
ous activities on a regular basis. Also, Matchbox contains a diverse
group of students; we have members of different ethnicities and
majors. Most important, we understand our responsibility on and
off campus. Our activities and our behavior reflect upon ourselves
and the campus, so we do our best to provide well coordinated, well
performed, and well attended events.

I am an international stu
dent here, and I have been at
an American school my
whole life. I want to
become a freshmen senator
because I truly care for this
school and want to make a
difference. 1 am willing to
work extra hours and get the
voice of the Penn State stu
dents out there. I am always
willing to meet new people,
hear new ideas, and most
importantly, get down to
work! I have many ideas
about what we can do here,
including a night called
International Festival, Battle
of the Bands, and many

My name is Molly
Thomas and 1 am running
for freshman senator in
SGA. In high school, I was
involved with a variety of
organizations, most of
which, I helped with public
ity and public relations. I
am currently involved with
the Lion Entertainment
Board and I would love to
continue promoting events
and getting the student body
involved in diverse activi-
ties. On campus activities
and networking with peers
is so underestimated these
days, but it really is a bene
ficial part of the college
experience and I want to do
all that I can to support it
here at Behrend.

At Penn State Shenango I
was the SGA President and a
member of THON. I want to
be a part of SGA because for
the last two years 1 have
enjoyed being involved and
making a difference in the
campus community and
would like to continue doing
so. One thing that I have
noticed that I think should
be changed is the fact that
there are no cameras in the
parking lots and I have heard
people complain about there
care being hit and I think we
should fix that problem if it
is not already being looked
into.

Asian Student
Organization
I’m Katherine Chen, the representative of ASO,
we feel that we would like to promote Asian culture
in this campus. ASO and SGA have had very good
relations in the past. SGA affects the student body
and we would like to have a voice there. Otherwise,
as with many other organizations, we may run the
risk of becoming isolated. Sometimes a problem is
communication, to promote greater openness and
understanding; we should increase the channels by
which we can talk to each other. Therefore, please
give me and the ASO a chance to be part of the
SGA.
n McLean
My name is Mike
I Mclean and I am running
for freshman SGA senator.
I have held many leader
ship positions in the past
during my high school
career. This gives me the
experience needed to best
serve on SGA.I have many
ideas on how to increase
the quality of student life. I
am going to try and attract
outside businesses to
Berhend and the surround
ing area. By doing this
iere will be more to do on
ampus. Hopefully I will
x the honor of serving
SGA, and know if I am
;cted I will be dedicated
the student community.

Through out our lives,
teachers and friends have
told us that college years are
the best years of our lives.
But we still sit around say
ing how bored we are. This
could be because of several
things, or maybe we just
need more campus involve
ment. Unless it is
Wednesday or Saturday
there is not much to do on
campus at ten o’clock at
night* So why not change
this by having more to do at
night and by voting for me,
Danielle Price. I’ll try my
best to make Penn State
some of the best times of
your life.

Lion Entertainment Board
The Lion Entertainment Board tends to the cultural and social
interests of the Behrend College and its' community. Our mission as
a club is to plan and execute activities, programs, and services to ben
efit the student body. With movies four nights a week, and a band,
comedian, or special event at least once a week, we need the student
body's support to be successful, and put on the best entertainment
possible. Through partnerships, we have worked with various clubs
in the past, and in the future we are planning to do work collabora
tively, with you, to make Behrend even better.
My name is Derek Challingsworth and I am running for club rep
resentative for the lacrosse team. By acquiring this position, 1 hope
to further my understanding of how SGA works to help the lacrosse
club throughout the year. Also, I will be able to keep the club
updated on new policies and procedures by which SGA proceeds
by. Lastly, I hope to give the club a voice in the student govern
ment.

My possible senate seat
will belong to every stu
dent at Behrend. not sole
ly myself. I aim to
employ the opinions of
the student body to make
their life on campus more
enjoyable. My position
will help me represent the
students' opinions and
needs during the SGA
meetings. 1 was involved
in THON last year and
currently sit on this year’s
committee. 1 was also an
Orientation Leader for
this year's freshmen
class. Understanding the
desires of the student
body is my greatest
strength. Mv vote will
ensure that Behrend stu-
dent's interests are being
voiced and respected.
