KUNITED (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
After celebrating, Johnson said getting a good night's sleep was her first plan. Bliss said he would catch up on homework. After that, the work begins.
"Basically, the first step is setting up a comprehensive plan of how we're going to go about making sure every single one of these plans get done," Johnson said.
Johnson said she was happy with the turnout, which was almost double from last year.
"I attribute that turnout to our candidates," Johnson said. "They know the importance of getting those issues out there, and they know the importance of making
sure student voices are heard and because of that they worked so hard"
The coalition's message of campus enhancements and increasing student involvement in the governing process appealed to voters. Some campus enhancements included rejuvenation stations, bike rentals and expanded wireless internet. They also aim to create a president's council and place a student on the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.
"For almost two decades KUnited has been a group dedicated to making KU great," KUnited's website said.
During the campaign, sustainability was a point of contention between the coalitions, with KUnited proposing sustainable restrooms and Renew KU proposing the creation of a sustainability minor.
However, KUnited's success has not been without challenges.
KUnited was unable to create a Student Services Center this year, which was a major issue for the coalition in last year's election. KUnited was also fined $50 for early chalking.

Up in smoke
HEALTH
Smoking hookah is a popular activity for college students, but it might actually be more harmful than cigarettes. The contents of the tobacco smoked in a hookah aren't necessarily more harmful than those of a cigarette, but the amount of time spent smoking it is.
A typical hookah session lasts 30 minutes to an hour, while one cigarette takes five to ten minutes to smoke. Being exposed to that much smoke results in a higher exposure to nicotine and the other chemicals found in tobacco.
How a hookah works
Carbon monoxide to nicotine ratio
50:1 Hookah
16:1 Cigarette
The amount of smoke inhaled in one hookah session is equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes.

Justin Hitt, a junior from Shawnee and the coalition's campaign manager, expressed disappointment, saying Briner and Dean were the most qualified candidates and that Renew KU had the most diverse "slate," or list of affiliated candidates for Senate, meaning it would have meant greater representation for
Still, he ultimately remained upbeat that Renew KU would continue to work on its platforms, even without the presidency.
"It sucks, but nobody's so discouraged that we won't be back next year," he said. "The future's bright."
