Holding too many positions at one time may be too much to handle for Brian Boreman -- or it may not.

Boreman (sophomore-political science), a finalist for the student position on the University Board of Trustees, was recently elected vice coordinator of the Council of Commonwealth Student Governments.

But Boreman said there would be no conflict of interest involved and there is no rule that says he would have to leave one job for the other.

The responsibilty of the student trustee differs from that of a vice coordinator.

The vice coordinator's main job is to deal with the regional representatives associated with CCSG, said Phil Tepfer, University Student Advisory Board representative and external affairs director for CCSG.

"I'll go into (trustee) meetings with University Park concerns, but I'll have that perspective only a Commonwealth Campus student can give," Boreman said. "I can separate both positions when I have to."

Ben Stevenson, newly elected CCSG coordinator, said he does not see any conflict arising if Boreman is chosen as student trustee.

"You just have to know who you're representing at the time," Stevenson said.

Boreman said he is taking on a great deal of responsibility because it is in his nature. He said he enjoys being a part of the University and all its activities.

"I like getting involved with everything," Boreman said. "I'm the kind of person that can't just sit back. That's the personality I have."

Tepfer said the issue of time constraints was brought up during the vice coordinator selection process.

"One question the candidates were asked was if there would be any other commitments that would interfere with the vice coordinator duties," he said. "Brian kept this in mind, obviously thinking about the student trustee job."

Boreman said he was confident he could dedicate the time and effort to each position.

E.J. Shaffer, the current student trustee, said Boreman spoke with him about the possibility of holding both positions.

The issue was on Boreman's mind when he applied for vice coordinator, Shaffer said. But Boreman can only benefit from the experience, he added.

If Boreman was not able to fulfill both roles he would be advised to withdraw from the vice coordinator position, Stevenson said.

John Meredith, outgoing CCSG vice coordinator, said the job holds a lot of responsibilities, but thinks Boreman can prove successful.

"I give him the highest marks in both a social setting and business setting," Meredith said.

Stevenson said he selected Boreman as a running mate before Boreman ran for student trustee. Boreman proved himself capable as president of Mont Alto Campus and is 100 percent competent to do anything, Stevenson added.
