Catherine Bell, University of Kansas junior, has no plans to ever leave KU.
After she graduates with a double major in political science and communications, Bell said she hoped to land an administrative position at the University.
Before she became involved with student government at KU. Bell had her heart set on becoming an attorney and following in her father's footsteps.
Because she's running for the office of vice president with KUnited, she has little time on her hands.
"I always said that I'd become an attorney, but I was never that excited about it," Bell, of Coffeyville. said.

"My roommate went to Hawaii for spring break, and I stayed here to paint posters for the campaign." Bell said.
Bell has been a student senator since her sophomore year, and she helps train incoming senators. Her patience and willingness help her work with younger students.
"Catherine is the kindest and fairest person I know," Doug Bell, her father, said. "She was the kind of kid that wouldn't even step on a bug."
Meet the Candidates
Editor's note: To prepare students for Student Senate elections, The University Daily Kansan will profile each coalition's presidential and vice-presidential candidates.

Catherine Bell, Coffeyville junior, is running for student body vice president with the KUUnited coalition. Bell was initially recruited by a Delta Force member to be a part of a student committee. The experience got her hooked on being a part of student government.
With the elections being held next Thursday, Bell's days are full with campaigning. While KUnited is having a party at Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. 2nd St., on election night, Bell has other plans in mind.
"I might just sleep on election night," she said.
Although Student Senate strongly influences Bell's life, she doesn't get too carried away with student government. She finds time to collect antique Coca Cola items. Her entire room in Coffeyville is decked out in Coca Cola memorabilia.
"It's really easy to get stressed out, but I try to keep in mind that there are more important things going on in the world," Bell said. "Everything has to be put into perspective."
