LARA BECKER/]ENN CERVANTES President: Lara Becker Vice president: Jenn Cervantes Campaign slogan: Working together to build Saint Mary's community Biggest contribution to student government: Contributed to the success of their hall activities. Top three platform goals: • Ethnic Diversity. "We need to combine people of different groups more. We could do this through focusing each month on a different culture," said Cervantes. • Athletics. Want to organize a fall and spring pep rally, put an athletic commissioner on BOG, and distribute "Go Belles" signs. • Communication. "We want to promote SGA. We could have a Web page, and a 24-hour hot line that lists events, and post summaries of all student government organization meetings on the walls," said Becker. Repeated quote: "We're not quite sure about that." Most impressive because... They are all smiles. They are friendly people, and are willing to commit as much time as needed to making Saint Mary's better. Biggest worry about them if elected: Almost seemed to be making up their platform as they spoke. If elected, they would need to do a little more research about student concerns on cam­ Experience: pus, and provide more inn_ovative ways of solving them, rather than relying on the traditional ones of the past student governments. 1)-esidential candidate Lara Becker, a junior from LeMans Hall ..

MEGHAN McNALLY I ANNE PARENTE President: Meghan McNally Vice president: Anne Parente Campaign slogan: Strengthening the community through collaborative leadership for a promis­ ing future Biggest contribution to student government: Restructured the junior class board this year. Top three platform goals: • Academics. Wants to add a first year studies program to the Saint Mary's curriculum that would provide more support for freshmen. • Women's Studies. "We need to make sure that, in every department, women's issues are addressed. Saint Mary's needs to be reminded that it is a women's college," said McNally. • Multiculturalism. "The major thing about Saint Mary's is that it is not diverse. We need to do something to change that. We need to help students recognize people of other backgrounds and histories," said McNally. Repeated quote: "Two-way communication." Most impressive because: These women did their homework.

NIKKI MILos/LoRI McKEOUGH President: Nikki Milos Vice-President: Lori McKeough Campaign slogan: Making more happen for our Saint Mary's community Biggest contribution to student government: When Milos called together an emergency meeting after the executive board of RHA resigned in 1995, thus beginning her development of RHA as a more integral part of student government. Top three platform goals: • Technology. They want to create a student commissioner that will act as a liaison between the technology COLT and the students. They also plan to distribute a technology newsletter that will inform students of developments on campus, such as voice-mail coming to Saint Mary's in March. • Diversity. "Everyone needs to be more educated about diversity. We want to create a multicultural lounge in Haggar, where we can hold lectures and cultural events, or just for student interaction," said Milos. • Involvement. "We want more SGA awareness. We want to get people to talk to us and tell us what their concerns are. We can do this through highlighting important issues of student government on a monthly calendar, or focusing on alumnae," said McKeough. Most impressive because: They truly are genuine and sincere.
