As a student on the ISU campus, I would also like to share my thoughts about the Peterson/Wilson team who is running for Government of the Student Body president and vice president.

After review of the platforms they list on their Web site and learning about what these two individuals have already done for the ISU campus, I find it very hard to believe any of the negative comments made in the paper last Friday by a different student.

First of all, I am very excited to see a pair of students with such high goals for our campus.

It seems to me no harm can come with having large goals, but rather, having large, attainable goals make bettering our campus possible.

I also find it ironic the student who spoke negatively last week does not think we should talk to the state legislature, who allocates half of the budget for Iowa State.

It seems to me we should be working to stay in contact with them every opportunity we can get.

Lastly, the student last week failed to mention some of the other great goals the Peterson/Wilson ticket has in mind for 2010.

They have both worked hard on the front lines for green efforts on campus and have some great goals for the continuation of that.

Vice President Peterson has co-founded a new organization on campus — The Green Umbrella.

This organization works to open up lines of communication between all of the sustainability organizations on campus and present a unified voice to the administration.

They also participated, for the first time at Iowa State, in the National Campus Sustainability Day.

They have worked to help revitalize the area in Campustown as well.

Both Wilson and Peterson seem very committed to not spend student fee money to accomplish their regenerative mission.

However, they are working with students to present a message to the university and the city of Ames that Campustown is an important to students.

Peterson is the current president of the Campustown Student Association and, with the help of another student, she restarted the business association in Campustown.

As president of GSB, I believe Peterson will be able to continue her hard work to make Campustown a great place for all students.

I am very excited to show support for a ticket that has its goals laid out for students to see and inquire about.

A vote for Peterson/Wilson in the upcoming elections will be a vote for hard-working students who will continue to serve all students.
