act iF I were president of NUGSS?

With all the buzz surrounding the NUGGS elections last week, the collective student body mind was no doubt keeping
late hours asking themselves: What would be my first act if | were President of (the world) NUGGS? In order to
uncover some of the more delicious answers, several students were cornered on campus to answer the question
directly. Interestingly, about 10% of students admitted to not really knowing what NUGSS does, suggesting a possible
disconnect between the students and the student-run, student-elected body which is supposed to speak on their behalf.
For those who did have a ready answer, hopefully the recently employed NUGSS President can make your dreams
come true. Huzah!
