WETUMPKA STUDENT ELECTED NEW SGA PRESIDENT AT AUBURN
     AUBURN -- Winston Tucker of Wetumpka, a junior majoring in
building science, has been elected the new Student Government
Association president at Auburn University, the SGA announced
Friday.
     Campus-wide student elections were held Thursday.
     Tucker, who was director of student opinion and senator from
the School of Architecture in previous SGA cabinets, received 63
percent of the 3,693 votes cast. Two other candidates, Jennifer
Meitin of Altamonte Spring, Fla., and Frank Gatto of Miami,
received 23 percent and 14 percent of the votes, respectively.
     Tucker, who campaigned under the theme "Create. Continue.
Change.", says he wants to increase student involvement in the SGA
improve the process for the evaluation of teachers by students.
     "As students of the university, we realize that Auburn is now
a diversified campus," he said. "As servants of Auburn, we must
realize that it is our duty to carry the university into the 21st
century with a vision for the future." 
     In other election results, Shannon Scarbrough of Auburn, a
junior majoring in marketing, was elected SGA vice president, and
Kelly Kilgore of Pike Road, a junior majoring in accounting, was
named Miss Auburn, the official hostess of the university.
