But Beaird assures that there was no hidden agenda and that this amendment was not just for him, but also for every junior at ASU and for all those to come.
According to Beaird, if the law wasn't passed, there would only be a few people eligible to run. "It opened the door for a lot of students," said Beaird. "And it promotes democracy."
"It's the students' responsibility to vote who they think is qualified for the job. If a junior who knew nothing was running, they (the student body) wouldn't vote for that person."
Beaird plans to prove he is committed to the students and wants SGA to become an active and vital tool for students.
"We (Beaird and Poole) want to get to know the student body better. Our blog is still up, and Quan and I encourage students to ask questions even if they think we might not know the answer, we'll find out.
"With the assistance of my staff, I hope to make SGA the forefront of all organizations," said Beaird. "I have faith that the staff and the senate will get things done."
Beaird plans on really promoting SGA events and projects. "I want the campus to be decorated, I want people to be excited.
"I want senators to talk with their constituents, otherwise they'll vote on personal preference, not what the constituents want.
"I want SGA to sponsor more events," said Beaird. He also wants every student be involved when something that is going on.
"We're planning on doing a lot of good things with PR (public relations)," said Beaird.
When it comes to the school's new mascot, the Red Wolves, Beaird sees this as a great way to promote ASU.
"This is the best marking tool in decades," said Beaird. "We want to spread excitement."
Beaird plans to get SGA involved in any aspect of promotion for the Red Wolves to help increase pride within the student body.
According to Beaird, he and Poole are already prepared to get to work.
One project that Beaird and Poole have already begun work on is new ways of increasing salary for the Student Health Center in order to get more staff and to reopen it's pharmacy.
