Twelve students were elected to serve as quad senators, off-campus senator, first-year class senators and Transitional Year Program senator as the Student Union Fall 2008 Elections came to a close on the evening of Sept. 25.
In an e-mail to the Justice, Student Union Director of Communications Jamie Ansorge '09 wrote, "The Executive Board is very excited to work with the Senate on many pressing issues, including campus sustainability projects, supporting the Student Bill of Rights, and pushing for potential changes at the Health Center."
Nathan Goldstein '09, newly elected senator for off-campus students, hopes to continue the database of information about off-campus housing that he started last year. Goldstein said that he would also like to continue to improve the off-campus commuter lounge that he created last year for off-campus students.
In an e-mail to the Justice, Chenchao Lu '09, senator for Charles River, wrote, "As a sustainability advocate, I would like to help start a free bike-rental program across campus, create a composting area for Charles River, and advocate for a hybrid/natural gas campus shuttle."
Senator for Ziv Quad Andrew Brooks '09 plans on working to address flooding issues in F-Lot, as well as working to get more outdoor furniture for the Quad area. He would like to lessen the financial burden of overdue books and extend library hours.
Senator for Rosenthal Quad Philips Loh '11 hopes to address issues such as why the Usdan soda machines no longer have tap water and the leaks that top-floor Rosenthal residents have encountered.
As Senator for East Quad, Sara Enan '11 plans on addressing her constituents' requests to get a pool table, fix the Ping-Pong table and to get more food in the quad office. Enan will also continue her efforts to have new screens installed in the windows in order to reduce the number of insects in East bathrooms, which she began working on before she was elected.
Senator for North Quad Andrew Hogan '11 hopes to bring better cell phone reception to campus. He explained that ultimately to improve cell phone reception on campus, cell phone companies would need to build a booster, a device to help improve the range and strength of a cell phone signal.
