Position: Senator of the College of BA
Year/Major: Junior finance major

Jonathan Bryan said that not even the 21 credit hours he's taking this semester would stop him from fulfilling the duties required if elected. Bryan said he wants to promote better utilization and communication between the different organizations within the College of Business Administration.

ARTS AND SCIENCES

Name: Zachary Cline
Position: Senator for the College of A&S
Year/Major: Junior English major, writing minor

Cline would like to see English majors have the option of taking a second language, instead of it being a requirement as it is now.
"So if you want to take that, you can," Cline said, "and if you don't, you have to make up for those hours by taking other English classes instead."
Cline said he would also like to try to fix the parking situation. He thinks empty staff parking lots are a waste of space.
"If it became an S-37 after 5 o'clock, or something like that, or after a certain amount of time, then you're allowed to park there," Cline said. "Any time before, that's for staff."

"Doing the most that you can do, that's one of the best feelings in the world," Myers said. "I don't want to feel guilty later on."
