ULM’s Student Government Association held freshman senate elections last week. Ten freshmen were elected from the various colleges.
“I want to make a difference in my college, and I want to make the student body to be the best that it can be,” said Jameson Alston, a freshman pre-physical therapy major.
Alston was the first winning senator to be announced.
“[I ran] so I can be a part of this organization and hear the student body, and so I can be their voice,” said Chelsea Wyatt, a freshman psychology major.
There were violations committed by two candidates. They broke election rules by posting campaign material in unapproved places.
SGA is taking no formal action because neither candidate won, according to President Calvin Stafford.
The new senators will start their official duties Tuesday, at this week’s SGA meeting.
