take over the position vacated when Paul Gay
was made president of the council. Gay moved
up when Karen Tucker resigned.
Although the SA Council elected a new vice president
for internal affairs only last Thursday night, the new vice
president didn’t waste any time taking over her duties.
Nominations were taken at the Student Association
Council meeting Sept. 2 resulting in the election of
sophomore Amanda Bowman by a two-thirds vote.
Bowman, a history major, joined the Council June 1.
“I think my basic goal is to see that the council runs
smoothly and we get our objectives accomplished,” she
said.
“I think that’s basically what my job entails,” she
said.
Bowman said the SA Council is presently working on
a number of projects, including getting a column in The
Prospector, working on the homecoming king and queen
elections, pep rallies and scholarships.
But, she added, “one of our main goals is to improve
communication with outside groups, especially the
students.”
“This council is excellent and the people are
fantastic,” she stressed.
“I just wish more students would give us their opi-
nions and what they want improved,” she said. ,
Bowman said she believes the council exists to help the
students but that if the students don’t get more involved,
the purpose will be defeated.
“We can’t do our job effectively if we don’t know
how they (the students) feel,” she said.
“We’re always here and we’re always interested,” she
said.
We're not washed out!
