The currently seated members of the Government of the Student Body only have a few more meetings to exercise their authority.

On Wednesday, the recently-elected senators and executives will be sworn into office for the 1999-2000 school year.

GSB President Bryan Burkhardt said in general, it has been a good year for GSB.

“The year went by very quickly,” he said. “I hope that for a lot of students, with both Jamal and I being in that position, we were able to serve them well throughout the year.”

Burkhardt said he also enjoyed working with the senate.

“We certainly set forth goals that we thought we could accomplish, and the hard work of both the senators and the cabinet helped us very much,” he said.

Burkhardt said he hopes the new administration will continue to carry on certain issues that were present during his term, such as lighting on campus and tuition.

Matt Craft, GSB president-elect, said he is hoping for a smooth transition from the old administration to the new one.

“The biggest thing I see us doing is wrapping up loose ends — finishing up what they started, in a lot of cases,” he said. “A smooth transition is what everybody hopes for.”

Craft said one of the biggest issues he and Vice President-elect Garrett Toay plan to deal with could possibly be student fees, depending on how the U.S. Supreme Court rules. “We need to be prepared for both rulings,” he said.

Craft said he and Toay also plan on dealing with several new and growing issues, such as student apathy toward GSB.

“You are going to be seeing GSB as a whole spending a lot of time addressing that issue,” he said.

Craft said he and Toay also will make an extra effort to communicate with the administration.

“I see a lot of communication on our end,” he said.

Craft said he and Toay will be choosing their cabinet this weekend.
