SC State's Student Senate voted 18-1 against implementing a Mr. SC State. According to Senator-at-Large Chassidy Hinton, the senators expressed reservations about implementing the position because of the additional cost to be incurred for a new King and his court.
Official debate and voting for the position began at the Oct 7 Student Government Association's full body meeting which resulted in a student vote of 48-34 in favor of the new position.
Hinton said that they are looking at alternatives which may include an official escort for Miss SC State.
The Student senate is comprised of five members of each class, two members of the International Student Association and two members from the Leadership council.
