Syrett said he thinks there should have been more advertising for the positions, but he believes those who were elected will be great officials, and he said next year he hopes to have more of a recruiting aspect for elections. Candidates shared their campaigns via Twitter videos and put up posters in front of the Jeffrey R. Holland Centennial Commons Building and the Gardner Center. There was adand on vertising on the Blazer Digest for flyers around campus buildings the mandatory candidate meetings. In past years, posters were placed in front of almost all campus buildings and debates were held. "I like to tell people that no one ran because they beard I was running," I think Syrett said. "But honestly, to there wasn't enough call action. in I don't think there was anyone student government who felt ready. There were a few worthy candidates who were going to run, but then they had other opportunities they wanted to go after." Syrett's campaign focuses on putting students first and getting them more involved. "I hate regrets," Syrett said. "So when I r- integrity and transparency.

Syrett said he was able to observe past presidents Sarah Ramalcer and Ezra Hain- - sworth, and their separate visions and love for the school implanted a passion for DSU within Hare's what tl ) expect from thcso o flicors: , Cajun Syrett: As student body president, Syrett plans to put students first and encourage more involvement.

"The two different leadership styles from Ezra and Sarah kind of instilled in me thereafter that I don't need to be Sarah, and I don't need to be Ezra, I can be myself as long as long I have similar values," Syrett said. Syrett said he stands for honesty, find out what we have in common, so we can all nect that way." Syrett was pre- viously the vice president of athletics. The new branch organized the student section and was aimed toward helping students have a better athletic experience. Syrett spearheaded the blackout game, which had 4,000 1,000 more people in attendance than the usual nearly 3,000 member crowd. Wilson is also hoping to give students more of a voice in student government. She was the student organization's club representative, but this year she wanted to take a leadership role that would let her give DSU clubs more of a voice. "My campaign is allowing each student to have an opportunity to join or make a club just for them," Wilson said. "I love people who have a passion and drive to start something new and have their voice be heard." Wilson wants students to be able to meet people who have the same interests and desires, and she also wants more exposure to the knowledge about clubs DSU provides. She said she isn't sure why others didn't run against her, but she said next year she is hoping for some good competition. "It would have been an amazing opportunity to get out there and debate more," Wilson said. "But next year we are hoping for a competition." Namikawa was the alternative breaks coordinator last year, but she wanted to join in on the growth of the academic's branch. "I'm extremely passionate about learning," Namikawa said. "I think it's so important for students to enjoy their learning so they will continue." She wants to bring more exposure to the academic opportunities outside of classes, like alternative trips and tutoring, clubs and other resources, to make educational resources available to all students. The deadline for the rest of the vice president positions was March 7, and were filled this week. The deadline for the rest of the positions is April 1.
