by Liora Danan thresher editorial staff The Student Association will hold elections for the position of SA treasurer during the October homecoming elections. Current SA Treasurer and Wiess College sophomore Rani Yadav will resign this semester. Yadav, who was elected to her position in February, applied to other universities in March and will transfer Harvard University this spring. Yadav said she doesn't think the transition to a new treasurer will be difficult. "I'll train them until they get the hang of it, around mid-November, and then they can look to me if they have any questions," Yadav said. "There shouldn't be too many problems, considering I'll be here still, and I'll sit through it with them and go step by step." Yadav said she plans to stay involved in the SA this semester, working on the upcoming SA Fall Retreat as well as fulfilling treasurer duties. Yadav said that she originally came to Rice on a trial basis and then fell in love with the university. "I agreed to apply [in March] to a few schools that my parents thought would give me an edge in the business world," Yadav said. "But I basically put no effort into my applications so I would get rejected. My plan backfired in the biggest way possible." Yadav said she regrets having to leave Rice. "It's going to be the hardest thing I've ever had to do," Yadav said. SA President Lindsay Botsford said she is confident that the new treasurer will be fine. "As long as we find someone that's interested in running, I don't think the transition will be a problem," she said. This is the second year in a row that the position of SA treasurer has had to be filled due to an early resignation and a special addition to the homecoming election. Last fall, Baker College junior Chad Benedict left the position and was replaced by Hanszen College junior Gavin Parks.
