Student Senate President
Kelli Rogers
How do you plan to remain accessible to students?
I’ll have office hours which I’ll post on the Student
Government Web site along with my phone number and e-mail
address. My goal is to attend at least two different student
group meetings a week and be in the Brickyard a lot.
Why are you running?
I think there are so many opportunities for Senate to improve
and I think I can use my passion for Senate and for this campus
to improve Senate accountability.
What makes you qualified for the position?
I have a lot of passion, and while I’ve been in Student
Government for three years, passion and decication is so much
more important than experience.
What are your platform goals?
I hope to make Senate more visible and accountable to the
entire student body. I also want to get senators more involved
in changing policies on campus including advising for every
college and intra-campus transfers. I also want to focus on
improving the visibility of the judicial branch of Student
Government and communication between all branches.

Student Body Treasurer
Elmo Lamm
How do you plan to remain accessible to students?

others that feel I can handle the job well. I have a personal
interest in the subject of the office and I strive to restore the

organizations.

David Bascombe Jr.
How do you plan to remain accessible to students?
I want to make myself known. I want to introduce myself to
people.
Why are you running?
I want to make sure we don’t have to worry about where
we’re going. I want graduating seniors to have options and to
not worry. I want to give them a leg up on jobs and graduate
school by getting them information.
What makes you qualified for the position?
I’m the president of In-Roads and a part of Student Senate
so I know what it is all about. I’m a people person.
What are your platform goals?
I have a plan for successive learning through the application
of yourself. No matter what you decide to do, I’ll make sure
the tools here are applicable. With all the programs I hope to
raise money to give money back to seniors at graduation.
Caroline Gibson
How does each candidate plan to remain accessible to
students?
I will continue to update my online blog so that seniors
have access to information about what’s going on in the
senior class council. It will be mandatory for representatives
to continue to talk to students in their college so that they can
be accurately represented at each meeting.
Why are you running?
Talking to students on campus and members of Inter
Residence Council, I have gotten a good idea of what students
need. I want to bring change and new ideas to the position
so that the senior class can do more meaningful things as an
organization.
What makes you qualified for the position?
I have served on the IRC executive board as the VP of
finance and was involved in student government throughout
high school. Being involved in a variety of things on campus
will allow me to tap into different organizations and resources
so that I can adequately represent diverse groups of students.
What are your platform goals?
Have a tangible senior class gift that seniors will want to
contribute to and will mean something to the class.
Continue Adam Compton’s efforts in getting red caps and
gowns. Provide resources that will help students get a job
or get into graduate school. Represent seniors across the
university.

Jay Dawkins
How does each candidate plan to remain accessible to
students?
I will be attending the senior events and networking
events. I also have office hours, which not many people
take advantage of. We’ll also be building electronic
communication, through email.
Why are you running?
After being student body president for a year, I’m ready to
have some fun and just cap off my senior year.
What makes you qualified for the position?
I have a year of experience as student body president, and I
accomplished everything I set out to do. Also I am absolutely
crazy about N.C. State.
What are your platform goals?
I have three major platform goals. One, I’d like to have a real
senior class gift, something tangible. For instance, we could
put bells in the belltower, since the bellfry is currently empty.
Two, I’d like to facilitate networking. In these tough economic
times, it’s good for the Senior Class Council and the Alumni
Association to bring together seniors and young alumni at
events. Third, I’d like to establish two regularly scheduled
nights out. I’ll talk to businesses to get student specials or to
have some of the proceeds donated to the senior gifts, like
free yearbooks. Not many people buy yearbooks, which is
really a shame.

Timur Ender
How do you plan to remain accessible to students?
If students are scheduled for board hearing, I’ll allow the
Office of Student Conduct to give out my e-mail so if questions
remain they can get in touch to get clarification. Also Facebook
messages. I’m not trying to hide, I’ll be the same person after
elected.
Why are you running?
Not to criticize anyone, but the Board has lacked leadership
lately. We need to be more involved. There’s a lot of energy,
but it’s not being put to good use. People want to do stuff, just
leadership and organization is lacking. I want to expand on the
outreach we do.
What makes you qualified for the position?
I’ve been on Judicial Board since my first semester at State. I
know a lot of people in the senate, and have been in on every
meeting as a fill-in since January, so I know what’s going on.
What are your platform goals?
Minimizing caseload, problem right now is students come in
with infraction in spring, leave for summer, come back in fall,
pay tuition and fees, but get suspended after paying when the
case is finally heard. If they are going to have a hearing we need
to get those done before they pay tuition, either in spring or
summer. Beneficial for University and students.
Get more diversity in faculty and students for conduct board.

I will provide my e-mail address for students to e-mail me with
questions and set office hours for students to stop by.
Why are you running?
This is a great way for me to give back.
What makes you qualified for the position?
I was a [Judicial] Board member from fall 2007 until May 2008,
then I became a judicial assistant. After that I became executive
assistant to the student chief justice.
What are your platform goals?
I want to get more involved with giving academic integrity
presentations and AlcoholEdu presentations during freshman
orientations. I would like to meet with teachers to work on
organizing more of these presentations.

On the Board of Directors Web site I want to place links to
club’s Web sites. I also want to have more Student Government
days on the Brickyard to form relationships.

Center Board of Directors to get students involved. To do this I
will serve as a voice for the students.

Margo Sauter
How do you plan to remain accessible to students?
I’ll have weekly office hours when people can come in and talk
to me about anything.
Why are you running?
I’ve been on the executive board and been a chair so I know
the importance of every facet of Union Activities Board. I want
to work more with other organizations on campus.
What makes you qualified for the position?
I was a commitee member, treasurer and a chair, so I
understand budgetary matters and how to plan events. I cosponsored
some events with other organizations so I hope to
continue relationships that way. We’re here to serve students,
and I want to make that the most important facet of UAB.
What are your platform goals?
I’ll work to have statutes and bylaws and to brand UAB better
during the summer to get more students knowledgable. I
feel like people don’t know who we are so we’ll have more
information in the summer so we can grow our committees.

Al S. McArthur
How do you plan to remain accessible to students?
I’ll post my address, e-mail and phone number on the Student
Media Web site. In addition, I will be at different meetings across
campus where students will be to get more info about what
they want to see in Student Media.
Why are you running?
No one else is running and it has been a trend continuing from
when I was a freshman. I felt I should run because I care a lot
about Student Media and I want to have the student voice heard
in Student Media.
What makes you qualified for the position?
I have served as an editor for one of the papers and have been
to meetings for several, including advisory board meetings for
The Nubian Message and Technician. I have attained knowledge
about how Student Media works. I believe I can bring student
leaders and advisers together.
What are your platform goals?
I want to provide a better atmosphere for Student Media
leaders and advisers and make sure there’s a welcoming
environment for student leaders and advisers to talk and get
problems solved. I’d like to make advisers more visible at staff
meetings as well.
