Applications for SA’s other administrative office positions are due Friday by 5 p.m. Best said he hopes to have the positions of chief financial officer, chief development officer and chief financial officer, filled by late next week.

SA also will conduct a special election on Monday and Tuesday, regarding constitutional amendments. Best said the SA constitution dictates that the student body must approve all amendments after they pass through Congress.

“In our constitution, any amendment has to be approved by student body, and that’s what these elections are for, to give students a voice,” Best said.

Best said both amendments up for vote easily passed through Congress, and he expects both to pass the student vote.

One amendment would reduce the number of class senators from five to three, renaming the positions class president, class vice president and class treasurer. It also would increase the number of off-campus representatives from two to four.

The other amendment would increase the number of required office hours for all class officers from two to four.

“We just believe that if they have a leadership position, they should have a little bit bigger role in SA,” Best said.

Best said high student participation in the election is key to its legitimacy.

“These amendments are going to have a big effect on the way SA works. It would give the amendments more legitimacy if we can get similar voter turnout numbers to general election,” Best said. “It changes the vision and future of SA, so it’s important.”
