Question W What do you feel is needed, if onything, toword your continued success 05 0 leader in this institution? Joseph Shenker: Well! if the question is what do I need personally, I think it is the continued enjoyable interaction with the faculty and stoff of the College. Whot gives me pleasure is working with other people who ore creotive, who have good ideas, who develop new programs for our students, new information processes. It is the chemistry of working with other people who ore smart and who are dedicated. It makes it fun for me. Luis Merchant: I work for LoGuordio now. so I om looking or the school on 0 different perspective, not as 0 student, and having peers oround me that have bochelor's, master's and doctor's degrees certoinly influences me to obtain that stotus becouse it oppeors that one's ocodemics have to correlate with one's function. I om eoger to resolve problems for students and make the College atmosphere much more comfortable and enjoyable. Bryon Lezomo: For my continued success here, I will need student support to accomplish my gools in Student Government and thereby I can develop bosic leadership skills. At 0 senior college, I would refine and strengthen my career goals in marketing. Luis Merchant: I was President of Student Government for two years. I have to state thot because there were two different feel- ings in my initial approach. When I first started out, everything was vogue. There really wosn't 0 direct goal or 0 target. I wosjust kind of jumping into the water and assuming that I would learn to swim or that I would drown. So the earlier period wosjust to find out what the value of the organization was, how it operated, how it served as on integral port of the College, end what power the organization had that could benefit the students. In the second year of my administration, I had specific goals because I had then undersood the organization and its responsibilities. Bryon Lezomo: When we first come into Student Government, we reviewed the post administration and found that they were very effective in 0 lot of their pro- gromming. So, we said we were going to go occor- ding to the guidelines from the post and try to odd new ideas. We never anticipated the success of this odministrotion to the degree it has hod. This is due, to 0 large extent, to the groundwork laid by the previous administration. Bryon Lezomo President of Student Government 13
