■ Residence Hall A ssociation Milos to preside over exec board By MAUREEN HURLEY Saint Mary’s News Editor

Effective next month, Nikki Milos, Christine Riesenberger, Meg Cernok and Kim Fleming will assume the helm of the Executive Board of Saint Mary’s Residence Hall Association. In yesterday’s elections, the ticket earned 74.9 percent of the vote, with the remaining 25.1 percent of voters abstaining, according to Marissa Osterhoff, supervisor of elections for RHA. Twenty-seven percent of the resident student body showed up at the polls. The incoming board views their “wide range of experience in different positions on RHA and in the hall councils” as a valuable asset, said Riesenberger, vice president elect. Milos is optimistic about her upcoming term as president. “1 hope we can improve the communication Photos courtesy of William Harriett between the residence life staff and students,” Students hike through rain forests in Belize to she said. “As long as we, as an executive learn about the biology of the area, as well as culture of the Central American natives. see R H A / page 8
