The conference, ""Leadership Improvement: Building Leaders From the Ground Up,"" focused on four areas. Those areas were emerging leaders, experienced leaders, residence hall leadership and organizational leaders. ""The leadership conference is open to all students, despite experience or campus involvement,"" Don Stansbeny, Office of Student Activities adviser, said. ""The conference is designed to help individuals identify their natural gifts and build upon them to improve their leadership skills."" The keynote speaker, Jim Molinari, Bradley University head basketball coach, spoke about the uses and advantages of motivation. Molinari also addressed different skills necessary to become good leaders and knowing when to be a leader and when not to be one. When delegating responsibility to other people, Molinari said to make sure they explain why they are assigning them the chosen responsibilities. According to Stansberry, a variety of interactive sessions were geared to various levels of experience, involvement and interests. There were 26 educational sessions, each an hour long, that both students and faculty could choose to attend. Some of the educational sessions offered were ""Black As You Want to Be,"" ""Communication: Some Amazing Stuff,"" ""Building Your Team From the Ground Up"" and ""Why Do We Exist: Developing an Organizational Mission."" A simulation called ""Archie Bunker's Place"" tackled the topic of diversity. Many of the students found this program to be an eye-opener, Jeff Meece, conference coordinator, said. ""Everyone who came to the leadership conference already had some form of leadership experience at one time or another,"" Meece said. ""We wanted to help them to identify those leadership skills."" ""We were really impressed with the turnout,"" Meece said. ""This is the biggest turnout ever for the leadership conference."" The conference is an annual event held every fall semester. ""Building balanced leaders is not a challenge to be taken lightly,"" Stansberry said. ""Leadership skills can only be enhanced by learning from others who led in other situations.""

The SGA is holding a week-long voter registration drive from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Union Concourse. ""There are a lot of people (students) who don't think they can register. I want to emphasize they can,"" said SGA senator Joe Lopez. ""All they need is their driver's license and a current piece of mail, something they got within the last 30 days."" Lopez is coordinating the voter drive and has collected more than a dozen members of SGA to serve as volunteer voter registrars. The volunteers were authorized by the McDonough County Clerk's Office after a training session.
