ASUA has power - much more than the student body realizes. It has control. It has President Likins' ear. It has a gargantuan budget.

And most of all, it has potential.

When I first arrived at the university, we had a student body president named Tara Taylor. She was tall, thin, blond and beautiful. And she was extremely intelligent. The last I heard, she headed to Stanford for law school.

I had developed my first jealousy complex.
