The election drama is over. For now.As the new Student Government is beginning to shape up for next year, there are several things we would like to see happen.First of all, credibility and trust needs to be established between Student Government and the student body. For some time, students have not taken SG seriously, and the recent heated run-offs between student body president candidates Will Langley and Will Quick only added fuel to the fire. With childish alleged acts such as mass e-mails, sign stealing and vandalism, it’s no wonder the student body lacks respect for the University’s student governing body.Second, the candidates we elected should stick to their promises. If we are to be confident we made the right choices this election, representatives must show their campaigns were not just full of empty words. Third, Student Government needs to establish a working relationship with both the University administration and the different branches of its own organization. As much as it may frustrate members of Student Government, the higher-ups hold all the cards. This is evidenced by Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Tom Stafford’s intentions to nullify the recent referendum, set to allow part-time students to vote and run for SG office and supported by 71.9% of student voters. With regards to student government’s own ranks: the division that was witnessed between this year’s Student Senate, the Judicial Board and Student Body President Whil “The Pirate Captain” Piavis was counter-productive and must be rectified if Student Government hopes to operate efficiently.And finally, for gravy’s sake, DO SOMETHING. The student body has elected its representatives into a position of influence, therefore it should be used to truly make student life better. Representatives should take their jobs seriously and make Student Government a respected organization on campus.After all, the only way Student Government will be successful in enacting change is if it is backed by the confidence of its constituents.
