New SGA President elected

Joshua Michael Bacak was elected the new student body president for ACC. Bacak was a senator for the South Austin Campus before running for President and also organized and led "Black Out," a student game night, and one of the biggest student led events.

"I feel that I have the tools and experience from the five years in the Marine Corps, actually leading people, to excel," said Bacak of his qualifications for the position as President.

"There are big issues I want to focus on," said Bacak. Those issues include parking, the proper reporting of campus crimes, the creation of designated smoking areas and the proper enforcement of smoking rules, tax-free text books for students and getting rid of the six drop rule. Bacak also says he would like ACC and Student Government to be more involved at the State Capitol.

"The capitol is at our front door. I want to see Austin Community College take a more proactive approach for all community colleges," said Bacak. "I would love to be able to start going to the capitol on a regular basis pushing the student's agenda."

Student Government's main goal will be to fight for what students want and need, said Bacak. "You let us know what's wrong and we are going to fight for you."
