After the controversial year Utah Valley State College has had, Phil Clegg, Director of Student Life and Activities, thinks this year will be the "largest election" the student body will have participated in. With three teams running, there will be no primary election, and campaigning will run from March 9-11. Clegg says this is because longer campaigns tend to wear out the student body, not the candidates. The three teams running are Team Focus, Team One and Team Effect. All the teams have at least one candidate that has been involved in Student Government in the past. Team Focus consists of Jared Sumsion, running for Student Body President, Ashley Rutgers for "Vice-President of Academics, Karlie Coles as VP of Student Life, and Mike Taylor as VP of Clubs.

So far this year, a variety of events have taken place to help fulfill that mission. Campbell spoke of the BSU's involvement in bringing a woman from Congo to the dance department, the reception welcoming her, involvement in the David Ssejinja Children's Foundation, assistance with the MLK celebration on campus, as well as involvement in various elementary and middle schools around the state. Although the BSU is involved with the surrounding communities, Campbell said, "There isn't as a large a request as we would like there to be," when it comes to community requests for appearances. These are the type pf presentations that, in the past, would be given to various history classes on campus. • Despite their small attendance, which Campbell said, "depends on the day," the BSU feels qualified to be involved with many projects. Campbell associates their lean numbers to the fact that many of the blacks here on campus are athletes, and they have ''a support group of their own, as well as a very busy schedule." But the few students of the 90 or so blacks on campus that are involved in BSU regularly show high participation in the various projects they undertake. Campbell hopes that some traditional celebration of Black History Month may occur this month, and says that if it does, it will be announced at a later time. |
