During a time of student
fee increases and controversial internal bickering in the Student
Government Association, presidential candidate Rachel A. Johnson
and vice-presidential candidate Lauren N. Linville want to get “back
to students.”
“We want to make sure SGA is working towards student needs,”
Johnson, a psychology and German studies major from Niagara Falls,
N.Y., said Tuesday.
Johnson said accomplishing this goal will require extra effort from
senators by reaching out to their constituents.
“The main thing is making sure the senators are getting out
there,” Johnson said.
Johnson said once the senators are reaching their
constituencies, students will become more actively involved in SGA.

The individual struggles
of every Appalachian State University student hold an important
place on the platform of Student Government Association presidential
and vice-presidential candidates Patrick G. Cash and H. Dustin Bayard.
“We must be as inclusive as possible, rather than exclusive.
The more we include others, the stronger the voice will be,”
senior English major Cash said Monday.
This idea of inclusiveness was instrumental for Cash and Bayard
as they constructed their platform.
“Instead of setting out our own platform and forcing people
to conform to our own platform, we want to set up an environment
where students are seeking what they want,” Cash said.
To aid this venture and get students involved
on campus, Cash and Bayard intend to publish a student-run think
tank publication.
