This year’s SGA elections had all two of the main elements for a movie: surprise and drama. However, in some of the major executive races, there were no surprises at all. The 2002-2003 SGA president is Nashett Garrett. Garrett received 700 votes (60 percent) while her opponent, William Levette received 465 votes or 40 percent of the total.The race for vice president of internal affairs was won by Paulette Foster, who received 698 votes (61 percent) while her opponent Jose V. Barros received 443 (39 percent) of the votes.While soaking in rhe realization of her win, Foster had these thoughts. “It feels great,” she said of the victory. “It’s good to know that the student body supports me in my efforts to make A&T extremely successful.”In one of the biggest upsets of the night, Brian “Barbados” Holder defeated Karen Fairey in the race for vice president of external affairs, with 56 percent of the student vote. What made Holder’s win such an upset was the fact that he did not have the flyers or the gimmicks of the other candidates and the students responded to that. Holder thinks that the students responded to his popularity. “My campaign was not about flyers,” Holder said. “It was about people knowing me and trusting me.”There was also some controversy in the external affairs race. Holder’s opponent, Karen Fairey, went on 102 Jamz FM morning show on March 27, the day of the elections, and criticized the Student Government Association and its relationship with the student body. Those who heard Fairey’s comments on the radio may have been inclined to vote for Holder.The race for Miss A&T wasn’t as close as people had anticipated. Delta Sigma Theta member Melissa Slade was arguably the favorite in the race but lost in a landslide to Brooke Myatt. Myatt had an an overwhelming 815 votes (61 percent) to Slade’s (30 percent). After Myatt gained her composure, she had this to say about her win. “Words can’t describe what it feels like to know that all this hard work that I and my wonderful teammates have put into allowed me to be crowned Miss A&T,” said Myatt. “I thank God for the way that he has worked miraculously.”Other winners in the elections included; Shondae LeGrand, SGA treasure; Latarsha Casterlow, SGA attorney general; Raquel S. Rogers, judiciary council; Jermaine L. Porter, senior class president; Erica Westbrook, miss senior; Kristal L. Brown, junior class president; Asheigh Taylor, junior vice president; Norlyque L.
