Roberts is not alone. But student government is a huge part of college life at campuses around the state.
Entertainment financed with student fees includes concerts, lectures and art exhibits.
Beyond the services they control, student leaders are also the voice of the student body. Yet the student government operates in relative obscurity. Voter turnout in elections is booming if it hits 10 percent. Students rarely attend meetings or budget hearings. There are 21 elected senators who are elected to represent the dormitories, off campus living, the Greek system, family housing and at-large students.
