Closing a refreshingly uncontroversial chapter in the Student Association’s election history, Ben Shaw (COL `08) and Matt Appenfeller (COL `08) were sworn in as president and vice-president at a Student Senate meeting Tuesday night.
After the senators offered outgoing president Twister Murchison (SFS ’08) a round of applause and Murchison thanked several students for their work in the past year, Shaw and Appenfeller recited a pledge that Murchison himself had written half an hour before.
“It wasn’t serious at all,” Shaw said. “I’m just kind of anxious to get started.”
Shaw plans to spend the next few weeks speaking to various students and administrators in order to develop a relationship with the University community.
