Commitment + Cooperation + Capability = Success. That is exactly what Student Government had this year. SGA advisor, Dean Rickard, said "Their commitment and their positive attitude were the keys to their success." Cooperation with the administration also aided SGA. Student Body President Jim Jacobs stated "Since we showed respect to the administration, they showed respect to us and helped us." Student Government worked hard last year on several major projects. Working through the student representatives, SGA found there was a need for new washers and dryers in the dorm. Before long, new washers and dryers were in place. The 60-member Senate also changed the late pass rule. According to junior dorm rep. Ken Fleetwood, "When SGA got a plan, they went after it." One ofthe greatest accomplishments for the '87-'88 Student Government was the Dorm Incentive Program. Through this program, SGA gave money to dorm funds to be used for activities. Its goal wasto promote dorm life and to give money back to the students,a rarity on any campus! President Jacobs hoped "SGA could develop a positive and encouraging spirit in the student body through the program." Vice President Melody Ferguson added,"We wanted to be committed to God by being committed to the students." This positive attitude paid off for SGA again and again throughout the year. Their high level of commitment led to a high level of success. An importantsub-organization of Student Senate was the Student Body Project Committee. The responsibility ofthis committee,headed by senior Bob Gresh,was"to stimulate cooperation among the student body in order to accomplish a specific project." SBP organized many fund-raising activities, including a marathon and class competition. Under the capable leadership of SBP in cooperation with SGA, next fall's Xenia Night soccer game could be played in Cedarville.
