SGA Candidates and their Statements President X&l A jHI PC* Cori Lesniak 02, Engineering SGA would be a good way for me to get involved here at Penn State. I’ve had several years of expe rience in dealing with student govern ment and I am a qualified candidate to serve the students here at Behrend. Stacy Erzen 02, International Politics I am running because I want to get more people involved in campus ac tivities. Relations among students and student activity groups are pretty weak.

I have pre vious experience in Student Govern ment, and whole-heartedly accom plish my tasks I Kelly Pahel 06, Management I think I would be a great asset to SGA. If I were elected student Sena tor, 1 would try to increase the amount of on-campus activities during the week and especially during the week ends. Many students complain that there is nothing to do during the week ends and as a result, they go home for the weekend. I would also try to make living on campus a better experience. This would include improving apart ment living conditions (heat, repairs, carpeting etc...), lower food costs and more activities in the dorms. I would also like to build a bond between greek life and other organizations. Campus life would be a lot easier and Behrend could provide more for the students if all the organizations teamed up and helped each other out. I believe I would be a very good Senator because I am very involved on campus. I am very active in intramurals, I am Vice President of TPA, I am an orientation leader, I am Const.. Chair of Panhellenic Council. Vote Kelly Pahel for Student Senator on election day.

Jullie Meyers 03, Biology I would like to be reelected to SGA as a senator to continue the progress that we’ve made throughout the last year.

Vice President Senators News Andrea DiPlacido * i mmm ■, 9m . |BB in mnM Matthew Parson 02, Liberal Arts One of the issues I believe should be discussed is the quality of food that we students eat here both at Dobbins and Bruno’s. The price we pay for food is nowhere near the quality of the food. The food should be better prepared or prices should be lowered. This is not the only issue I will fight on but this is one that I will fight for so that our meals improve ■<■ <'m r*H' ;'\A • \ •. • ; : : ■;i :/»£ IH l Jobe Piemme 02, Plastics Engineer- I am a freshman majoring in Plas tics Engineering Technology and am currently interested in running for stu dent Senator.

Thursday, April 16, 1998 - The Behrend College Collegian - page 3 Secretary Charles Testrake 04, Political Science As an SGA Senator, my goal will be to bring student government back to the students. If re-elected, I will continue to work hard to make SGA more accessible to students by under standing and keeping in touch with their needs and concerns.

As SGA Senator, I will do my best to increase Behrend pride and spirit amongst students in order to give them the urge to part take in Behrend events. Furthermore, as SGA Senator I aim to represent ev eryone, to eliminate the bitter com ments of misrepresentation; to ad dress and hopefully conquer many issues others feel are taboo or are sim ply afraid to speak up on; basically I aim to please! Carl Grande 04, Accounting I just wanted to get involved and help make this campus a better place for the students. One of my goals is to address and solve some of the prob lems and concerns the students have about Behrend.
