Student senators were able to find common ground during Tuesday's Senate meeting after two weeks of fighting and many displays of partisanship.
Beacause there are still many open Senate seats and senators approved recommendations for committees during the meeting, no new legislation was presented.
However, Student Body President Jordan Johnson stopped by to get the approval for his nominations of two Student Government agency directors, Chomp the Vote and Nightlife Navigators.
Law student Jenna Stern was approved unanimously to take over as the director for Chomp the Vote, an organization in charge of educating, registering and encouraging students to vote in local and national elections.
Johnson said he wanted to find someone with a grassroots personality and who was self-motivated.
Stern was a candidate for Senate during the spring election and represented the Orange and Blue Party. She also helped mobilize UF's Barack Obama campaign and is currently in California working on another campaign.
Law student Philip Erwin was also approved unanimously to take over as the Nightlife Navigator director, a position Johnson said he'd considered eliminating.
This agency is in charge of promoting safe transportation solutions for students who are out drinking.
Johnson said Erwin will act as a middle man between students and club or bar owners, educating students on their options when leaving a club after drinking.
Johnson said he is also looking into acquiring a Zingo service to prevent drunken driving. The Zingo driver rides a scooter, folds the scooter into the person's trunk and drives the customer home in his or her own car.
The program is used by the University of Georgia and the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.
Before senators approved Johnson's nominations, he lauded UF President Bernie Machen's decision on how to allocate $42.2 million in budget cuts.
"We have to do the best we can with what we have, and I believe this plan does just that," Johnson wrote in a press release.
