By MELISSA McC::0!4NELL

(SG A) election days were quiet
but decisive this year. as Rob Chiles

executive vice president: and Ronda

and awareness would make
for more voter participation.
"Mo~t people voted for a particu­lar
person because they just had seen
him outside of the polls campaign­ing."
said Adams.
Adams says U of L needs to con­centrate
on getting the younger. non­working
students involved.
The new SGA officers will be
working bver the ~ummcr. setting
