David Brophey and Geoff Storm, who are campaigning to become the next treasurer and secretary of the ASG, said they hope to open communication among the ASG and university, city and state officials if elected.
Brophey and Storm are both members of the ASG senate and Appropriations Committee representing the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences.
Brophey is a junior pursuing degrees in anthropology and classics, and he plans to enter law school in fall 2010. He is a member of Schola Cantorum and has traveled across the world performing with the choir. He is also the secretary of Eta Sigma Phi, the honors society for Latin and Greek.
"We know and understand not only the authority of the student government in its own right, but also the lengths to which a strong student-administration relationship can take us," Brophey said. "Our decision to run stemmed from our experience as active members within ASG, who over the past year have built and maintained contacts, friendships and respectful relationships with members of the administration - it's through these bonds that actions will truly take place, that progress will truly proceed."
Storm is a sophomore four-year honors student majoring in English and political science, and he is pursuing a minor in classical studies. He is a member of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity and has served as the fraternity's alumni chair and on the Standards for Chapter Excellence Committee.
"Really, I just want to redirect the burden of getting information out to students so that the ASG puts information out and students don't always have to go looking for it themselves," Storm said. "We want to set up a climate where we're reaching out and not just sitting up in A635 waiting on the issues to come to us."
Storm emphasized the use of new and alternative forms of media, from revamping the ASG Web site to utilizing video messages to provide more information for students.
The goals of the Brophey/Storm campaign include opening communication among Arkansas colleges and universities by pursuing the implementation of an Arkansas Collegiate Council; increasing communication with city officials; and continuing to build the relationship between the ASG and UA administration.
The Brophey-Storm ticket is touting supporters on Facebook like ASG Vice President Jong Shin and ASG Treasurer Ben Hale.
