Election Personalities cciodidettOs -.View Nei;v' - - USG Interest , 1 . • 1 CaMimigners for ihe top 'Undergraduate Student Gov ernment offices said last night that they, haVe observed on campus a definite increase of interest in student govern ment• and . new knowledge of its activities. The:two candidates foi . USG'president,' Dean Wharton, University party, and Allison:Woodall, Cainpti-Liberal parties, noted the increased student interest over that encountered when they both ran in the fall 1960 elections. At that time, Wharton was running for sophomore class president and Miss Woodall was a candidate for student government assemblyman. Wharton and Miss Woodall, plus the vice 'presidential can didates, Morris Baker, Univers ity party, and George Gordon, Campus-Liberal, discussed this and other election topics in an interview with Daily Collegian reporters last night.' , "BACK. THEN," Wharton said of the 1980 elections, "stu dents asked questions such as 'What is student government?' and had the 'You can't do any thing anyway' attitude. Now they seem' to be assuming stu dent government is doing something „and want to know specifically what we will do." Gordon said he believed this change in attitude lis due to the candidates in recent cam paigns stressing what student government has done rather than what it has failed - to do. The time spent by candidates meeting students, - Miss Woodall said, is directly proportional to the voter turnout. "If students see and hear.you they have a basis on which to choose between the candi dates," she said. Baker said, "We will try to meet each student, but for the ones we don't talk to, our plat form will have to speak for s us." He stressed that this is a "cam paign of issues rather than of personalities." ? BOTH PRESIDENTIAL can didates discussed the need for better relations between ad ministrators and student gov ernment leaders. Wharton said, "The trouble i n communications bet Ween student government and the administration is that the stu dents are here for only four years and want to see things done immediately. The admin istration will be here much longer and isn't in such a hurry." Miss Woodall .said she be lieves that regardless of one's . feelings, these relations can and must always be kept on a mature level. Since one of, the main func tions of the vice president's office is to run a well-conduct ed 'Congress meeting, Baker and Gordon gave their ideas on the subject. • Baker said it is essential for the vice president to be well acquainted with parliamentary procedure and Robert's Rules of Order. It is a matter .of edu cating the Congressmen in' these rules so that the meeting can run smoothly, he added. IN ORDER THAT the Con gressmen know exactly what they are voting for, a bill must be restated before the vote is taken, Gordon said. "Once in awhile asking the simple ques tion, 'Does everyone under stand?' would also, help in keeping ' complicated issues clear," he added. As Dennis Foianini, incum bent USG president, will be at the University next year, Miss Woodall and Wharton explain ed what they thought his func tion as past president would be. Both agreed that he . would definitely be valuable' as a resource person, but that he should have no official connec tion with student government For information about "be hind the scene risponsibilitieS, such as being' a member of Senate sub-committees," Miss Woodall said Foianini would be a great help. Wharton said that, if elected, he would definitely meet with Foianini to _discuss problem' areas to "gain froin his exper ience." DEANe WHARTON ALLISON WIXIDAU., GEORGE GORDON Tilt VOL. 62.
