This is the first article of a three-part series on the Student Government Association's 2011 elections at the University of Memphis.

Last year, University of Memphis students elected 34 officials for
the 2010-‘11 school year in a Student Government Association election.
Nearly a year later, only 24 of them remain, and 12 officials currently
serving were not announced to or elected by the student body
. Those
senators were appointed by SGA President Hunter Lang.

The 10 elected senators no longer serving either resigned or were impeached by the senate.
