10--The Daily Collegian Friday, March 21. 1980 Healey/Weintraub: Editor's Note: The: following five pages con tain interviews with the candidates for president 60 vice president of the Undergraduate Student Orovernment: Joe Healey and Andy Weintraub; Charles P. Kennedy and Ray Leach; Joe Kreta 40 Chris Cobb ;pave Prichard and Pam Nesky ; ;Ind , Stephen Reeves and Chris Calkins. Wein teaub and Leach were the only vice presidential candidates who attended the interviews. The interviews are arranged in alphabetical order awl' have been edited for length. They were conducted by Daily Collegian staff writer Linda Campbell. COLLEGIAN: Should USG serve the students providing things like Date Match, Florida trips and term break buses, or by dealing with the administration and helping influence policy decisions? Nilhich is more important? HEALEY: I don't think it's reasonable to say one. or the other. Term break buses and Date Match are things that USG provides to the students for entertainment and knowlege, and these are both things that people value. These things also create money which is very im portant because it does take money to run the student services. , It stands to reason that students should he able to influence policy decisions, so USG should have the ability to help influence the administration for the students. USG should be able to supply the student voice to the administration. I feel that USG should potently affect the decision making process. I feel that both parts of USG are very im portant.if I had to make a decision as to which, I would feel thet student services may, by a very FAMILIES ARE FOREVER speaker: Charles Taylor, Ph.D Professor of Human Development film: Why Mormons Build Temples date: Tuesday, March 25 time: 7:00-8:00 p.m, place: Reading Room HUB Presented by: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Kii Student Assoc.

Because if we don't provide services we will lose most of the services provided. However, if we don't give the input, the University has in the past set up a board to seek input. But I feel that this question would not be up to me. It would be up to the students. COLLEGIAN: What is the role of USG president? lIEALEY: To make and help USG to function in the best way for the students. He would have to be very aware of this University and how it is run. He would have to have the knowledge of administrators so that he can go to the specific administrators with problems. His role is one of being a leader and being able to communicate well with the students as well as administrators. He also has to have the knowlege of USG and student organizations' function. He has to be able to put in the time because he has to pick up the load if other people slack off and hopefully with the type of organization I want to set up next year there won't be people slacking off. It is also very important to be able to communicate with the members of USG. I guess the key word is responsibility and not passing the buck. One very important point for the role of president is openness, openness in the communication with the •University, and the news agencies such as the Collegian. All members of student government and students should know what is going on and no decision shold be made under wraps because the president doesn't feel that another branch couldn't handle it.

HEALEY: This decision is up to the senate because they are the best representative voice of the students. To prevent money from being spent without being approved, the executive should have the knowlege of who has the ability to spend money. This decision is also up to the senate. It would be a conflict of interest if Andy and I sat down and decided who was going to spend money because our patterns of spending money should be checked. COLLEGIAN: Do you have any special ideas, proposals, or programs you would like to im plement? HEALEY: We have a feasible plan to help finally get a student elected to the (State College) borough council. This would be ac complished by getting all student organizations via Executive Council or another council to work together to choose a candidate to represent students and help him or her get elected to the (borough) council. This is feasible because in the past the voter turnout for students voting for borough council has been very low. Safety is another program that we care very much about. We want to work with the borough to improve the safety downtown and the safety knowlege. WEINTRAUB: We feel that coed housing is important because it is a form of learning. Learning takes many forms and coed housing can offer experiences not offered in the classroom. We feel there is much you can learn socially from coed housing. We would also like to implement an academic adviser to Academic Assembly. Athletics is another concern of the University. Andy and I will strive to make athletic facilities available to the students in the future. Campus safety is another issue. With the development of the night map safety awareness has risen to further broaden the awareness of safety at Penn State. We will push for im plementation of a one- or two-day safety presentation to be part of the required health and physical education classes. WEIN'FRAUB:Last year many students were questioning our investments in South Africa and all of the leaders at that time said that they, for moral grounds, wanted divestiture. And yet it's been a year and nothing has been accomplished. Now, the moral question hasn't changed and the need hasn't changed, only the commitment has. 'But we are committed to offer our full energies to this concern. Our learning experiences can be expanded through interaction of people of various backgrounds, cultures and races. MOre active recruitment by this administration is necessary to achieve this. We will work with the ad ministration to accomplish this goal. lIEALEY: Our first step would be to improve communications betweefn members of USG itself by having new senators come and observe two senate meetings before taking office. Secondly, we would ask all facets of USG to attend at the second, third and fourth meeting of the USG Senate for an orientation presentation. On other branches of communication, we would have a meeting with the department heads from this past year to set procedures for selecting the department heads for the next year. We will also appoint executive liaisons to work with the executive and USG.

COLLEGIAN: What type of pay system do you wany to set up for USG? • lIEALEY: I don't think it's our place to say what type of pay system we would like to set up. in USG because we don't have the right to set up any pay system. Before moving on I would like to comment that any type of pay, if there would be,, for president would not be commented on at this time it would be an obvious conflict of interest. COLLEGIAN: How would you improve USG's credibility with the administration and with the students? HEALEY: USG's credibility could be im proved with the students by being open to the' students, not having closed meetings. Next year' we would work closely with the Collegian in getting news information out to students. But above all the president has to be out of the cloud and with the students. Improving credibility witr, the administration is also very important and their respect must be gained. We will work toward that goal by showing them that we do' truly care and that we are organized and are ' willing to listen to them. COLLEGIAN: What is. USG's biggest • problem? HEALEY: I think USG's biggest problem is a lack of education and knowlege. People in some' branches of USG do not know what other branches are there for. Education is very im- ' portant to USG. We have a plan to educate USG as a whole because it is very vital to give everybody a working knowlege of what is in usq and then after that is done we will work on giving students a working knowlege of USG.

Which is more important? OCENNEDY: Our priorities would be quality student services. We would• necessarily expand the business operation to provide more services. We would also stress participation, with the administration to solve problems of a mutual concern, and Ray Leach) and I are prepared to carry out our administrative ideas, particularly hr . : , the area of the Student Advisory Board, Executive Council, lobbying in the Board of Trustees, direct ties with the administration, direct ties with the (USG) Senate, and adhoc committees that would he doing most of the field work. The stress there would be a very strong leadership and we think we have the best chance ty.cause of our experiences. LEACH: We think there should be a dual thrust to USG, that it should provide services to the students and that it should also serve as leverage to present the students' views to the administration, to the state and local govern ments and basically be the student advocate, and we don't think this has been effectively done this Oar. We would like to apply ourselves to im proving both of those thrusts of USG. COLLEGIAN: What is the role of USG president? KENNEDY: The role of the USG president is basically that of overseeing the operation of the executive departments, and also persuading the A proposed $55 per term room and board increase will be discuSsed at the University Board of Trustees meeting Trustees today and tomorrow at the Capitol Campus in Middletown.

The president sets the tempo for the year for student government and this person would have to have the experience necessary to effectively deal with administrators on their domain. This person would also have to have leadership ability, so I think that the president is the person that the administration looks toward as refleCting how student government will be that year. The president has the authority to basically restructure, with the consent of the senate, those departments and those areas that that person may feel are impeding the growth and progress of USG, or he can rearrange them so that his ideas can flow more smoothly through the system. The president does not rule by decree. He rules by the consent of the governed and of those bodies such as the senate and heads of student organizations. • COLLEGIAN: What structure would you have for handling money and how would you prevent it from being spent without being approved? KENNEDY: There has been designed a means to control the funding of the business wing of USG, and this year it has been abused to a great degree.We don't think this should continue and we do have a plan to restructure the business 237-5961 wing so the executive branch has control. It is controlled in levels by president of USG, the vice president, the treasurer, the president of the senate and the appropriations chairperson in the senate. Also the business manager would make weekly reports to the senate on approproations. COLLEGIAN: Do you have any special ideas, proposals or programs ,you would like to im plement? KENNEDY: We advocate the creating of a seat at large for the executive council. This would go to smaller organizations such as Eco action, HOPS, or the Caribbean Student Organization. Our idea is to have these groups participate in an observing position and they would serve basically one month and that way we could get maybe 12 organizations to observe the actions of the council in one year. We think that this would contribute to the cultural and intellectual stimulation of the council and also increase the interaction between those student organizations participating With the council and the larger student organizations. We would advocate a restructuring of USG departments which would take the Race Relations Board and collapse the department of minority affairs and more or less consolidate their functions under one USG department, and we would call it the department of intergroup relations. The Race Relations Board, I think, would benefit from being made a department because they don't have access to funding as they are right now.

Six events are scheduled for next week, each concentrating on a dif ferent theme, said Phyllis Skreski, chairwoman of the awareness week committee. The programs are open to everyone and all events are free. "We have expanded our program from last year so that more guys can come to the programs. We have also used more publicity to make the students aware that everyone is advisory board and • more or less a training program. In the area of the programs that were provided we think the department of intergroup relations could effectively implement those programs and continue to provide the quality of service and programs for training prospective RAs and sensitizing them to the concerns of various groups at the University. COLLEGIAN: What type of pay system do you want to set up for USG? KENNEDY: Before we can' discuss pay for USG we have to discuss structure. The structure we envision calls for a department of programs and services that would continue along the lines of policy already enacted; that is, anyone would be eligible to pay. Separately, we would reinstate JEM productions. This business mamager would be eligible for some type of compensation. The• various project managers would be given compensation for the time that they worked on their specific project. The manual laborers would be paid on a fixed hourly rate. The business manager would be responsible to a, board of directors which would include the president, vice president, and the treasurer of USG, the senate appropriations chairperson. We would leave a seat for a faculty person. This would be optional and would depend on how the board of directors feels.

COLLEGIAN: What is USG's biggest, problem? LEACH: The best thing I could do is refer to the previous question. USG's biggest problem right now to the run-of-the-mill student is credibility, competency and efficiency. I don't, think you can interest students in undergraduate , student government if you're doing an un professional job of running it. Every year maybe 25 percent of the students vote in USG elections and it will never be im proved unless the student has confidence in the student government and unless the student believes that the student government is doing an honest, responsible job of representing him. make-overs and discuss skin care.
