The time has come for posters to be hung, sidewalks to be chalked and fliers to be handed out. It's time for the student government elections.
The candidates were officially announced yesterday.
Several students are running for student activities council positions, student senate positions and extended campus council positions.
And some are in the running for executive positions: residence life council vice president, SAC vice president, and student body president and executive vice president.
Brandon Burtner is running for RLC vice president.
The RLC vice president's responsibilities include presiding over RLC meetings, appointing positions within the RLC, serving as the RLC representative to all university administration and those living on campus, according to the SGA constitution.
Alison King is campaigning for SAC vice president.
The SAC vice president presides over SAC meetings, prepares an annual budget that is approved by SAC, and appoints committee members, among other duties.
And the student body president and executive vice president runners are David Fifer and Lindsey Cross, and Elizabeth Burke and Dajuane Harris.
The executive vice president has several jobs including presiding over the student senate. He or she oversees the forming of student senate committees and appointing chairpersons for each committee.
And the vice president takes over the presidency if the president is vacant.
And then there's the student body president.
The president has executive authority over the student government association. Some of his or her duties are signing or vetoing acts of the senate, SAC and RLC; appointing several association positions that include chief of staff, treasurer and secretary; representing SGA at all functions where SGA needs to be officially represented; and serving on executive boards that include the board of regents and the advisory board.
Each executive officer must be in the office a minimum of 10 hours a week.
