And, now more than ever, student apathy must be addressed. Only eight people ran for five positions, leaving the president and student vice president for student affairs positions without opposition. Only 1,229 students voted in this election. Those are the biggest obstacles this group of students will have to overcome. Every person who was elected is capable of doing their job. We have confidence in that. The part that leaves doubt is how well they will be able to do those jobs, and expand their reach and the role of their office on a cam- pus where so many don’t care. From a lack of interested applicants, to a measly 10 percent of students voting, the job will be enormous. Yes, voting numbers are up from last year, but that is just another sad fact in the sea of apathy that is becoming Eastern. Mormino, Ruhaak, Lisa Flam, student vice president for student affairs, Ronnie Deedrick, student vice presi- dent for academic affairs and Amy Leonard, student vice president for financial affairs, will certainly have a lot of work to do to get students on this campus motivated and interested. We wish them the best of luck, and continue to sup- port efforts to bring information and interest to Eastern students. Don’t judge Eastern by grams you will find anywhere. I’ve looked.
