Five freshmen senators elected this week
Yesterday, Associated Students announced the winners of the elections for freshmen senator positions. Andrew Lam, Blake Bye, Chris Freeburg, Nick Ukropina and Laura MacArthur finished with the top five vote totals and will be confirmed as freshmen senators today.
"It was a great campaign all around," said Associated Students Senate Chair Christian Gagel. "I think we all look forward to getting down to business now that every position is filled."
Eleven candidates ran for five seats on the senate. Anyone in the class of 2011 was allowed to vote for five separate candidates by logging onto eCampus on Oct. 9.
Overall, 379 freshmen voted on Tuesday.
SmartPrint allocation changed to $48 for full year
Santa Clara students printing in the library and computer labs were surprised to find an extra $32 added to their SmartPrint funds last week.
Students now have $48 in SmartPrint funds to be used over the full academic year. In previous years, students were given $16 in SmartPrint per quarter, and no leftover SmartPrint funds carried over from quarter to quarter.
The new SmartPrint funds will not carry over from year to year.
Several Associated Students senators pursued the change in the SmartPrint allocations last year, said AS Senate Chair Christian Gagel.
"The students we worked with last year seemed to think this would help smooth out variations in printing needs over the year," said Chief Information Officer Ron Danielson in an e-mail, adding as an example that a student might need to print more in the winter and less in the fall and spring.
