When it was all said and done, 568 students participated in the student vote Tuesday and Wednesday.

The 568 students who voted accounted for about 11 percent of the student body. According to Darren Fullerton, vice president of student affairs, the campus is lucky to have 200 voters at most elections. The last voting topic to receive this large of a turnout was the recreation center fee.

The two major items on the ballot were the ROAR Fund and the smoking, vapor and tobacco campus ban. The ROAR Fund had been accompanied by plenty of noise, with a Facebook page against it and athletics marketing in favor of it. The fund was struck down by a vote of 298-267.

Junior soccer player Katelyn Roberson was disappointed to hear the news.

“I was kind of mad. Not only because I am an athlete, considering I wouldn’t have seen any of the changes myself, but as a student,” said Roberson. “We needed the ROAR Fund to help make our campus better.”

Brittany Lampe, senior, biology, was happy to see students get out and vote.

“I think that it was great for students to get to express their opinions,” said Britanny Lampe. “I wish that it would have passed and the University could have grown, but I think the results show that there are things that should be addressed.”

The vote on the tobacco and vapor ban wasn’t nearly as close, with 401 students voting in favor of the ban and only 159 siding against it. The ban will go into effect in the fall of 2015.

The final issue on the ballot was whether to approve the revisions to the Student Senate constitution, which passed with 83 percent of the vote.

Sophomore physical education major Shawna Lawson sided with keeping tobacco on campus.

“I don’t think the tobacco ban was necessary,“ said Lawson. “Different policies could have been put into place that wouldn’t be as drastic. Not all tobacco products effect others directly.”

The students elected to serve in an executive capacity next semester are Jake Messer, sophomore, psychology; Saif Farag, junior, biology, Brooklyn Lampe, sophomore, environmental health; and Raymond Dunaway, freshman, accounting, who ran a successful write-in campaign.

Messer will serve as the president of Senate, Farag as vice president, Brooklyn Lampe as secretary and Dunaway as treasurer for the 2014-15 academic year.
