Show T 38 m r-iEnta tiori 2005 Click 'Be Heard' for voice in student senate By Daniel Hubler sr. features reporter The Signpost Students walking to and from classes last spring saw campaign signs all over campus. These signs encouraged students to elect this or that person for different senate positions like business senator or Asian Polynesian students senator. Some students like Josh Jeppson, a freshman computer science major, don't know exactiy what purpose the Weber State University Student Association serves for the students. "I know nothing of the student senate," Jeppson said. "It's probably there to create activities and services projects, but I'm not sure." Jeppson is right in that senators are trying to improve student activities that make for memorable experiences on campus. Josh Borges, WSU Student Association business senator, said that as of late senators are trying to create activities that more students want to attend. "We're working on making activities that will draw thousands of students," Borges said. There are 19 elected senators who represent various student constituencies such as nontraditional students, students with disabilities or students who are veterans of the military. The senators' jobs are to improve college life for students. "Whether it's parking or something as simple as a sidewalk location, my job is to make their college experience better," Borges said. All seven colleges on campus are also represented, but if students are unsure which constituency they belong to, they can find out more and voice their opinion from the convenience of their home computer. Students simply need to visit the WSU Student Association Web site at organizations.weber.eduwsusa and click on the link "Be Heard" at the bottom. See Senate page 27 ie nniui US.
