CAFNR student announces run for MSA presidency

Michael Deering, Corner Post staff

Oct. 14, 2002 - Brett Ordnung has always found a way to exceed his limits, give 110 percent and never look back. Today, he has taken a step in a new direction by filing as a candidate for president of the Missouri Students Association (MSA) in the upcoming elections. A junior in agricultural education, Ordnung said he is a well-qualified candidate.

Ordnung said he feels that MSA has become too political and is not directed toward the average student. He also said MSA is a place for students to voice their opinions, but it is not structured to focus on the students' needs.

The candidate said his running mate, Lisa Coleman, political science junior, complements his campaign well.

"Lisa is goal-oriented and passionate about Mizzou students," Ordnung said.

Ordnung and Coleman have formed a platform for the campaign that focuses on safety, student/faculty interaction and information sharing between MSA and students.

"Brett Ordnung has proven his dedication to CAFNR and the student body through active involvement," Jared Verdught, agricultural systems management major, said. "He would bring needed change to MSA, which makes him my choice for MSA president."
