New leaders have promises to keep

As we say goodbye to a cabinet of the Student Government Association that was loved by many students, it is important to focus on the new student leaders of UCF.

The Michael Kilbride and Taylor Lochrane administration will soon be working toward fulfilling the 32 points they promised on their platform. One of their campaign slogans was "the difference is you," which is why we urge you, the student, to pay attention to what SGA is doing and will be doing this school year.

Only 9,420 votes were cast this year for the SGA offices. Clearly, many students were far too busy to fill out the simple voting form found online.

Students are rarely too busy to complain about things on campus, though.
Make sure to keep updated on what the SGA officials are doing either here in the newspaper, online at UCFNews.com or on their official website Differenceis.com.

"Our best campaign goal is your best idea," Kilbride said during campaigning.

Well as long as the floor is open, we may have some thoughts.

Our first idea is to include the 32 points you said were attainable for your administration on your website.

We, and hopefully many students, would like to follow the course as those plans are put into action. By putting the points on your website and your Facebook page, you will make it easy for students to become more involved in SGA. At the least, it will allow students to get an idea of how hard you all work.

It will also allow students to do what you requested, which is holding you to your promises.
By interacting with the student body about what platform points could and could not be delivered, you are setting a high standard for future administrations. Hopefully, this will become the norm, and SGA officials will maintain their campaign pledges.

Speaking of pledges, please bring about the changes you promised while campaigning.

We remember a few, including expanding KnightDrive, developing postgraduate resources, getting more students to SGA meetings, completing a car pool system, increasing the available study space on campus and building on number of SGA-funded scholarships.
Your vow to implement these crucial changes is what won you the election, and we are eager to see you achieve the 32 points you included in your platform.
