This year’s freshman elections have already come and gone. The freshman elected their president, Brendan Jones. They also elected Peter Lucas as the secretary/treasurer, and Alex Mar, Jack Murphy, and Daniel Rock as their three senators. I spoke to both Brendan Jones and Peter Lucas about being elected to their positions.

When asked why he thought he was elected, Brendan Jones said, “I think the freshman class thought I would be the best man to represent the them.”  When asked what he could do to help the freshman class as president, Jones replied, “I can help the freshman class by using my voice to speak for the class. Any opinions that people have I will listen to and talk about the issue or concern in the student council meetings.”

When I asked why he thought he was elected, Peter Lucas answered, “I think it was because I had good posters, a good speech, and I know just about everyone in my class.” When I asked what he could do to help the freshman class as secretary/treasurer, Lucas said, “I can help our class by making sure that we have good fundraisers and keeping a solid report of everything financial going on in the freshman class.”
