page 4 CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT Rosanne M. Rosenberger Since Fall Term, I have been a senatorial member of the Student Government Association. I have seen the present SGA deal with all student problems and business brought to their attention. I would like to continue dealing with the SGA's undertakings as president. A few issues have arisen that I feel should be acted upon for the benefit of the student body: ' honor roll C.C. Reader input re-allocation of funds from defunct core course offerings rewriting of the constitution student involvement renovation of Vendorville First, the topic of establishing an honor roll has been brought up more than once. I feel that having an honor roll might help let the students know that their efforts and fine achieve ments don't go unnoticed. Second, the C.C. Reader has been badly lacking writers and staff. I'd like to see a program implemented to involve students who are taking any type of journalism. They could be required to submit input into the school paper. As a result, they will gain experience while receiving credit and the paper will benefit with a greater variety of writers. Third, I have noticed that clubs, with SGA funds, are now defunct but still have budget accounts. I think this money should be allocated to the benefit of the other clubs. Fourth, another topic frequently discussed is that of core courses. I feel it would be to the benefit of many students if core courses were offered every term or at least two terms per school year. This would allow students to pick up required courses in a term in which they are not presently offered. Fifth, SGA has changed much over the years but the constitution has virtually remained the same. I would like to see the document restructured to facilitate changes that have occurred and to make it more efficient and viable. Sixth, student involvement seems to be a large problem on this campus. I am confident that the SGA can gain input from students so as to accommo date everyone's tastes in activities. We must keep in mind the average age on campus and also commuters. Maybe initalizing a campus tradition could be a start to student association. And lastly, Vendorville, a recent topic of dicussion is of great interest to me. I am currently on the Renovation of Vendorville committee. Our pri mary job is to gather information from the students and make recommenda tions. Vendorville is an area of much student activity. Hopefully , it can be made into a more attractive student area. These issues are just a few that the next SGA can deal with; I'd like to be a part of it. CANDIDATE FOR VICE-PRESIDENT Julie R. Kuhn If elected Vice-President, I will be working closely with the executive board of the SGA to enhance the well-being of the student body, to improve communication between the student body and the SGA, and to promote a cohesive relationship be tween the administration and the stu- A Platforms • dent body. Aside from the duties relating to the Student Government, the Vice- President chairs Presidents Council. This organization is composed of the presidents of each club and its effective utilization would benefit every member of the student body. My plans for the Presidents Council include expanding the movie series, organizing a book swap, and holding at least one social event each term such as a dance, a casino night, and a spring (fall) picnic. Also, I would promote more coordin ated efforts between clubs in spon soring activities. Presently, I am living on campus, but have been a commuter in the past and am well aware of the often second-rate treatment of the commuter students. As Vice-President, my un derstanding and first-hand knowlege of the problems experienced by both the commuter and campus residents will facilitate my ability to solve those problems. I have been a worker this year at Capitol; a worker in the SGA as a senator, a worker in the Hillel Club as Vice-President, and a worker in the Presidents Council as film coordinator. I would like to be a worker for you next year as Vice-President of the Student Government. Think before you cast your vote; yours could make a differ ence. CANDIDATE FOR TREASURER Susan E. Kreiser The Student's Bill of Rights does not guarantee prosperity. Product ivity does. If I am elected Treasurer to the respected Student Government Association, I plan to use my product ivity skills to the fullest extent. I believe the student body at Capitol Campus has great potential. As stu dents, we need social activities which will lead to more interest in school functions by the entire student body. I am concerned with whether or not the funds to the SGA are expended properly. Accurate books must be kept to follow through with this. The present arrangement of fund alloca tions to Penn State organizations on campus has been criticized by many students as a difficult system. I would like to reduce this difficulty experi enced by students, by seeing that a less time-consuming system is incorporated I will work closely with other SGA officers to increase productivity and help our Student Government Associ ation work more efficiently for you. Also, as Treasurer of SGA, I would work closely with other club treasurers in order to familiarize myself with their monetary needs. In doing so, activities can be better scheduled and, therefore, followed. In closing with my views of action, I would like to say that, if elected, I will always be open for suggestions of improvement and comments to en hance SGA's productivity and success. Remember--Proper allocations of funds and scheduled activities will lead to more student enjoyment at Capitol Campus! CANDIDATE FOR SECRETARY Denise M. Dick I believe we need a strong SGA as the backbone of this campus. I would like to become a part of the SGA, to have a voice in policy-making con cerning our students and campus. In the past, I've held an active position in the SGA at my previous campus. Through the experience and by the knowledge I've gained, I can take on the responsibilities of the reporting secretary. Thursday, April 24, 1980 CANDIDATE FOR SENIOR BUSINESS SENATOR In order for any student organiza tion to work properly, there must first exist a body of leaders who will work hard with enthusiasm not only for the students, but also with them. During my years in the Pennsyl vania State University system, I have always considered myself a hard and diligent worker, as exemplified by my GPA of 4.0. I take great pride and interest in any job placed in front of me--a quality necessary for a position such as SGA Senior Senator for Busi ness. By being elected to this post, I would be given the opportunity to share my interest and enthusiasm for student life with others in hopes of doing my part to help cure the student apathy being experienced at Capitol Campus. CANDIDATE FOR SENIOR ENGINEERING SENATOR My objective as your Senior Engin eering Senator will be to provide as much help in improving this school as I possibly cam I am a member of the Resident Student Council which will enable me to suggest improvements and changes concerning housing and food service. I am also interested in continued beauti fication of the campus, especially in the area of landscaping. I feel that this campus is being neglected and it is about time something is done about it! I need your support. CANDIDATE FOR SENIOR ENGINEERING SENATOR I am running for the position of SGA Senior Engineering Senator. I am running because I feel that ALL students should have a say in the Student Government. Although I'm an engineering stu dent, I feel that I can represent not only the engineering students but all of the students. As a member of the Capitol Campus Baseball team, I would like to see a strong sports program here at Capitol. If elected, I would help the Athletic Department as much as I could to build a strong sports program which would help the image of the campus. How ever, at Capitol, academics come first. In this area, I would like to see some type of Dean's List each semester. In the way of activities, I feel the students should speak up and suggest activities they want. If elected, I would welcome any comments how to improve life here at Capitol. CANDIDATE FOR SENIOR SOCIAL SCIENCE SENATOR As the current Junior Social Science Senator, I have become ex ceedingly interested in the operations and activities of the SGA. Over the past year, I have become well ac quainted with the functions of the SGA and, with my experience as a senator, I feel that I am especially qualified for the position of Senior Social Science Senator. Meredith Livingston Mark Polins Jon Ference Sandra L. Shirk As a student, I am very active in organizations here at Capitol. Some of my activities include women's volley ball, cheerleader for men's soccer and basteball, intramural softball, and I am a member of the Committee to revamp Vendorville. I am also supportive of various other activities and I hope to spread some of my enthusiasm and get many others involved. I am a Social Science/Public Ad ministration and Policy major. My cumulative grade point average is 3.83. I feel that I am a very responsible and dependable person and that I am totally capable of fulfilling the duties of Senior Social Science Senator. WRITE-IN CANDIDATES Unfortunately, eight people who submitted petitions for the senior elections had to be disqualified because of their failure to follow the instruc tions as stated in the petition: "After the petition is approved, the candidate may begin his/her campaign." The election-screening committee of the SGA is required to confirm the validity of the twenty-five signatures per peti tion, and is required to personally interview the candidates before ap proving their petitions. Eight people began campaigning (posting signs and radio advertisements) before they were interviewed and approved, and thus they gained an unfair advantage over those candidates who correctly followed the instructions. continued on pg 5 NEW BOOKS BY PSU-CAPITOL CAMPUS FACULTY Submitted by Samuel T.
