"I want representatives from all fields so .1 can feel the heart beat of Boise State stu- dents," Morriss said. Morriss also emphasized the importance of representation. "The whole point of stu- dent government is to give students a voice. I want Boise State students to know I have an open door. I'd encourage every student with a concern to contact me." Election results are unofficial until ap- proved by the ASBSU Judiciary. Following are the results for the ASBSU Senate: Representing the College of Arts and Sciences is Erin Loeppke, Katherine Medina will represent the College of Education. The senator of the Applied Technology college will be Latisha Clark and the senator for the College of Business and Economics will be - Scott Blakeslee.
