I hope to change the daily lives of the students by actively participating in the senatorial procedures by taking a stand againt bills that would negatively effect the students in the College of Agriculture.

All we hear about it is budget cuts, but this is such a hard issue for most of the students, many of whom pay for most or part of their schooling.

I see the University leading the way among other SEC schools and becoming a stand out flagship university.

Jake Landry
Senate
Ticket: Leading the Way
Major: Human Resource Education
Year: Junior

1. How will you change the daily life of students in your college if elected?
I would work to see that the concerns of students were addressed to the fullest extent possible. I would address any concerns brought to me as a senator and try to fully represent our interests as a college.

2. What is the most important issue facing students on campus?
I think the budget cuts are of great importance and are something that we all need to be aware of and keep an eye on.

3. Where do you see the University in five years?
The university is in a very difficult place right now. We are on the edge of being a great research institution. We can either all come together to rise above the current budge crises we face and lay the foundation for a brilliant future. Or we can be defeated by the adversity we face and slide into mediocrity.

4. What will you change from the past administration?
I think that the past administration did many positive things for this university. I would love to see that progress continue. I also think that this past year there was a great working relationship between Senate and the Executive branch. I think that should only grow stronger in the coming year.

5. Why are you qualified for the position you're running for?
I have had experience working as a Senator for the College of Agriculture. I have learned the ways of that body and am now aware of how to efficiently and effectively accomplish goals within that organization. I think I am a great voice for the students within the College of Agriculture, and I would love to serve them again.
