The 2006 Student Government Association campaign season came to an end this week. Some 2,530 students logged on to the SGA election Web site on Monday and cast their votes for next year's senate and executive board. The voting followed almost a month of campaigning by Stepping Beyond, More for Students and write-in candidates. Representatives from both tickets won seats on the executive board.
More for Students' Evan Krauss, a junior in the School of Social Work, won the presidency in a closely contested race against Stepping Beyond's Maria Rozier, a junior in the John and Lucy Cook School of Business. Krauss, the current executive vice president, edged out Rozier by 23 votes.
Krauss' fellow More for Students candidate Gene Diamond took the academic vice presidency. Diamond, a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences and a senator, defeated Adnan Hussain, a freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences.
Chris Pingel, also of More for Students, defeated Stepping Beyond's Jaime Nichols in the race for the financial vice presidency. Both Pingel and Nichols are juniors in the John and Lucy Cook School of Business.
Stepping Beyond had a victory with Jeff Bigner's win over Lisa Udofia for the executive vice presidency. Bigner is a junior in the John and Lucy Cook School of Business and an SGA senator; Udofia is a junior in the College of Arts and Science and former president of the Black Student Alliance.
Stepping Beyond's Anne Nickson, a junior in the School of Public Services, defeated freshman Samantha Howard of the School of Business in the contest for the administrative vice presidency.
Students voted against the proposed $5-per-semester yearbook fee, putting the Archive to rest once again by a vote of 1,326 to 1,010.
Election Commissioner Thiago Takahashi said the election was success. He said voter turnout increased from last year, and he thanked candidates for their "competitive and respectful spirit."

"We're feeling confident," presidential candidate Evan Krauss said before Saint Louis University's student government election results were revealed on Monday, Feb. 27. "It's been a blessed experience. We have no regrets; we just went out there and tried to show people what we were about."
