I don't have two police incidents, but I do have SGA experience," James Dixon, SGA presidential candidate, said.

I never foundation, he added. wide relationships with students, contrasted with opponent James Dixon's saw him at a meeting until he decided to run." Last year, Bryant ran as part of Joyce Estrada's unsuccessful bid for SGA advertising to a Greek constituency, he said. Though opposing candidate Robert Bryant is experienced, he has negative president. After Aaron Nicely was elected, Bryant was cited in a police report as One of Dixon's ideas is to enact a "club council" made up of campus aspects, Dixon said, including a police report filed against Bryant for activities threatening Nicely. organizations. 'Tm trying to lay groundwork as far as planning with that. We're stemming from last year's SGA campaigns.

Dixon has been an SGA senator forthe past year, afterrunning on Aaron Nicely's the reins, he explained, and there needed to be a structure for him to build on. That groundwork will partially come fromyoungermembersofhis presidential ticket. He said his positive accomplishments of the last year have included bringing Bryant painted a rosy picture of SGA's accomplishments this year, which he was ticket who stay in SGA and form a legacy, Saxton said. a sense of order to meetings and sponsoring an amendment to the new SGA involved with in his current position.
