As the newly elected student body president, Bobby Mills, prepares to begin his term in office with plans of converting all Wolflines to biofuel as well as implementing debit cards on campus, the new Student Senate president, Greg Doucette, and student body treasurer, David Foxx, agree to stand behind Mills’ goals.

Bobby Mills, student body president-elect, said he plans to focus on extending dining hall and tailgating hours, and implementing debit cards on campus during his time in office.

Mills, a junior in political science, said he has already started to work on most of his main issues.

“The first day after I won I went ahead and I met with the University Dining about the debit cards on campus, the extended dining hall hours and also putting in suggestion boards up in each exit of the dining halls,” he said.

According to Mills, he also wants to eventually have the entire Wolfline bus system running completely on biofuel.

He said it’s important for N.C. State to create an example for other universities because the University is supposed to be forward thinking when it comes to the biofuel industry.

“To send a message, you know it’s more of symbolic thing,” Mills said.

Mills said he plans to complete most of his goals with the help of his cabinet.

“As one person you can’t accomplish but so much,” he said. “But collectively with help from so many other people you should be able to accomplish a lot more.”

Mills said although he hopes to check off all of his plans, including creating new athletic and academic departments, initially he plans to focus all his attention on debit cards.

“That right there helps the most people. It not only helps students, but it [also] helps faculty, staff, and visitors,” Mills said.

Debit cards should be working on campus sometime within the fall semester, according to Mills.

“I’m going to focus on this issue and we’re going to get it done,” he said.

David Foxx, student body treasurer, said although he has faith that Mills can accomplish his goals, unexpected events do happen that can derail those plans.

He said the recent tragedy at Virginia Tech is a perfect example. Student Government held a vigil Tuesday that wasn’t pre-planned.

“Things will come up during the year that might hinder some of his [plans],” Foxx, a junior in political science, said.

According to Foxx, he hopes to work with Mills to help him complete his promised platform.

“[Mills] is going to work and strive to make campus more fun and govern the way he campaigned,” he said.

Greg Doucette, Student Senate president, said Student Senate will be behind Mills as he tries to accomplish his plans.

“It’s going to take a lot of effort,” Doucette, a junior in computer science, said. “But, I think collectively we can pull a lot of it off.”

Doucette said regardless of how realistic Mills’ goals are, “It’s good he’s setting something big.”

“Some of his things are achievable, and some of them probably aren’t,” he said. “But at least he’s articulating a vision for the campus.”
