Dial’s accomplishments provide edge in vice president race

April 12, 2011 by Optimist Editorial Board

Rebecca Dial’s experience, enthusiasm and proven record of accomplishment make her the best choice for the vice presidency.

Dial has been involved in SA for two years, serving first as Gardner representative her freshman year while serving on the Internal Affairs Committee and this year as Sikes rep. and a member of the Finance Committee.

She has proven her commitment by attending meetings consistently throughout the year, and if elected SA vice president, she said she would expect the rest of SA to do the same.

“It’s overwhelming how many people don’t come to meetings, and don’t put any effort in other than that one hour,” Dial said. “I really just want to increase the accountability.”

Dial has a strong platform and has voiced reasonable plans to begin working toward a solution and continue work started this year.

She has already begun conversations with Dr. Schubert about how SA might go about fixing the parking issues that students face, especially with the current construction of the Student Health and Wellness Center.

“Even when the construction is done, we will get 75 spots back, which may be a stop-gap issue but we’re still going to have to deal with the main issue,” Dial said.

Dial has had a hand in multiple accomplishments this year. In March, she presented a bill to SA that allocated $1,500 to be put toward a sound system that student groups can check out throughout the semester. She is also a vocal advocate of a better recycling program on campus, citing the need for more recycling bins and better awareness as ways the campus can improve their recycling initiative.

Dial has the drive and the experience to get the work done and realistic goals that can be accomplished.
