But Students’ Association (SA) Government officials behind the effort think people will get bored of taking tampons in bulk trips and stealing baskets. And they called the effort a success so far. “I would say I’ve been happy with how it’s been going,” SA Vice President Lance Floto said. “I mean, people are using it, we’re filling a need that the campus needs, that was the goal of the program, and I think that as far as the 5K Challenge YIYUN HUANG / PHOTO EDITOR goes [...] our long-term goal Students’ Association presidential candidates (left, sophomores Nick Foti and Gabi Lipschitz; center, juniors Courtney Thomas Jr. and Delvin Moody; right, ju- is to make this happen next niors Jordan Smith and Becca Mooney) discuss policy and answer questions at the debate Wednesday night in Hoyt Auditorium.
