“I was shocked to hear her name,"
Kimmich said. “I was so happy for

kept thinking ‘I’ve got to get on."*

Bullseye. In this game, the contestant
picks a product and guesses how
many of that product will equal be
tween $10 and $12.

far, but it wasn’t over yet. When it was
her turn to spin the wheel, she spun
$1.00, automatically winning $1,000
“The wheel was so heavy,”
Brewster said laughing. “I pulled arm
muscles spinning. Of the whole day, I
was most excited about the $1,000.
Anyone can bid and win, but not ev

After she mastered the wheel,
Brewster participated in the
Showcase Showdown. She was the top
winner and chose to bid on the first

of SGA happenings. She is cur
rently a freshman senator
Ross Burris, a sophomore
from Stone Mountain majoring in
pre-law, is running his third cam

think a base funding should be set
up for each club then SGA can
control the extra funding." He is
currently a sophomore senator.
Bryan Carpenter, a sopho
more majoring in political science
from Lawrenceville, said his prob
lem-solving skills are what makes
him a good candidate. “There are
solutions out there to our prob

with apathy and safety. “If stu
dents don’t know when the meet
ings are, they won’t come and
don’t care.”
Ryan Oliver, a freshman ma
joring in pre-law from Atlanta,
said he wants SGA to be the voice
of students. “I think SGA should
be the true voice of the students.

we haven’t been." He is currently
a freshman senator.
Tim Sanders, a junior major
ing in biology from Milledgeville,
said he had no specific goals. “I
have no platform. I'm running be
cause nobody else has a platform.

joring in business from Atlanta,
said he wants to continue the rep

show people that Asia is very di
verse and incredibly rich in histo

about issues, instead of hiding be
hind issues and stereotypes. By
putting together this month. I
hope people will see we can’t gen

The month of events, which be
gan this month and continues un
til May 18, includes a variety of
programs and films designed to
educate people about different as
