Candidates for USG Secretary-Treasurer
JOHN "BUDDY!' TORRIS RANDOLPH CARTER
Candidates for Senior Class President
• • • * • •
The Undergiaduate Student Government in relation to the
offices of secretary-treasurer and senior class president was dis
ctissed last night by candidates for these positions in an inter-,
view with Daily Collegian reporters.-
The candidates for senior class president, Randolph Carter,
University party, and John "Buddy" Torris, Campus-Liberal
parties, agreed that the senior class president should have a
definite' connection with USG, whether as a voting. or an ex
officio member.
THE SECRETARY-TREASURER CANDIDATES, 'Katherine
Johnson, Campus-Liberal parties; arid 'Margo Lewis, University
party, agreed that their job, if elected, would be4me in, which
they would help to stimulate student interest in student govern
ment.
Explaining his reasons for wanting a close connection with
student government, Torris said, "Although you meet many peo
ple, it is impassible to know every, member of the class."
Because USG Congressmen represent every area on campus,
and know: the feelings of their constituents, he said, • the - class
president would be able to determine more effectively the wants
and needs 'of his class if he were a member of Congress. •
Carter said; "The class needs a strong leader who is sensi
tive, to' student opinidn, but the president should know better
than anyone else just what the cf•ss needs.
'Just the title of class presiclet itself," he said. "brings more
clasS pioblems to the class president's attention than a USG
representative ever could."
' BY HAVING DIRECT CONTROL: over the student opinion
bureau, which the University party plans to set up if its slate is
elected, Miss Lewis said she could increase student interest.
She said that by calling students to learri their opinions on is
sues and by compiling this information so that it can be presented
to the administration, the secretary-treaSurer can be a co
ordinator of student opinion, USG legislation and the adminTs
trators' viewpoints.
•
Miss Johnson said one- of her ideas for creating greater
student interest in USG is to publish enough copies: of the USG
agendas so they would be available to any interested students.
IN DISCUSSING THE CLASS GIFT, the candidates for class
president' agreed 'that the gift should definitely be something
which would be for the University rather than a donation to an
outside organization, such as was suggested this year by, s mem
bers of the World University Service.
Carter said, if elected, that 'this is one area in which he
would begin working intmediatOy so he would know the
specific needs of the University at gift-selection time.
Torris said';he felt that each cliss'should make its own con
tribution 'so that class members could refer to something they
had specifically donated to the University.
