News Brief: September 6, 2007

Thursday, September 6, 2007

Results for freshman elections to Student Senate were announced last night. The five senators elected, in order of most votes received:

1. Katy Clagett

2. Michael Wade Smith

3. Andy Haverkamp

4. Libby Johnson

5. Drew Carlson

Twenty-four students ran for senate seats. Adam McGonigle, Wichita sophomore and freshman election commissioner, told those not elected that they could still participate in Student Senate through committees.

Katy Clagett, Colorado Springs, Colo., freshman, received the most votes of any candidate. Clagett said that she was excited to be elected and that she was ready to start working in Student Senate.

“One thing I think we really need to get done is getting KU wireless,” Clagett said.

The freshmen attended Senate committee meetings last night immediately after election results were announced, and they will soon attend an orientation to learn Senate rules and regulations.
