Through the years, Western
Maryland College has grown,
and through the coming years it
will continue to grow even
faster. I think every student
is anxious to see this
and remember-with
there must be progress
with what awaits us tomorrow.
With this in mind, I sincerely
believe that the Student Government
Association's budget
must be increased in order to
finance many of the things the
students want but cannot get
through the administration.
Such things as social life for
the off weekends, better facilities
in the grille, and .
ment of safety for the
trians in the winter are
impo,rtant.
Therefore, to make SGA play
a more important part in the
life of our college, I feel we
must expand. This expansion
must be commanded by the students'
desires and must be
brought about in part economically.
These are my beliefs
and, if elected, I w:ill try
carry out these beliefs to
best of my ability.
The leadership
which I have held in
include:
A. President of high school
Student Government
B. President of senior class
C. President of varsity club
D. Treasurer of Preacher
Fraternity
E. Member of WMC honor
court
If I am elected, I will certainly
put my past experience
and my ideas for the future
SGA into effect in the best way
I know how. I hope you will
help me do this both by your
vote and through your interest
in SGA.

Although I know that the office
of secretary entails many
written responsibilities, I feel
that one of the primary purposes
of holding an SGA office
is that of representing the student
body. I would be honored

that the administration

myself to seeking a program
