The words action and change
lay in the wake of political activists throughout history, and these
same principles are what Student Government Association presidential
and vice-presidential candidates Patrick G. Cash and H. Dustin Bayard
hope will characterize their administration if elected.
“What gets me going is aspirations for change,”
Bayard said Friday, in addition to identifying with the struggles
of others. “Whenever I walk around I always try to have a smile
because I’m always dreaming of how things can be and hopefully
how things will be. I definitely want to see change in so many forms.”
The two seniors were brought together as running
mates by similar mindsets, which created an ideological foundation
from which they agree on many issues, Bayard said.

For senior Student Government
Association presidential candidate Rachel A. Johnson, a good day
is filled with plenty of work and ends at Wendy’s.
“There is nothing I love more than running
the drive-through window [at Wendy’s]. You get to talk directly
to people, get to make sure people are smiling when they leave.
It’s really cheesy and people think I’m a real dork for
it, but I absolutely love it,” Johnson said.
Johnson said she works 30 to 40 hours a week
at the fast food restaurant along with handling her class load and
involvement in SGA.
“Work makes me tick. I really am a kind
of workaholic. To me that constant work is beneficial,” Johnson
said.
