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

thin line, be a bit more important than in
fluencing the University. 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.
COLLEGIAN: What structure would you have
for handling money and how would you prevent it
Key to USG president's role is 'responsibility and not passing the buck'

from being spent without being approved?
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. With the cooperation of

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.

Kennedy/Leach:
COLLEGIAN: Should USG serve the students
by providing things like DateMat'ch, Florida
trips and term break buses, or by dealing with
the administration and helping influence policy
decisions? 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

Quality student services, participadon with administration are a 'dual thrust'
senate to undertake those proposals and
executive orders that the president may hand
down to that body and to work with other student
organizations within the executive council,
within the Student Advisory Board and the
executive departments.
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. They are no more than an

said.
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.

credibility with the students and with the ad
ministration?

KENNEDY: First we have to bolster the)
morale within student government, with those:
people working directly within student govern-)
ment, and secondly we would have to work)
closely with those organizations that participate.;
in student government. Thirdly we would have to;
consolidate their support and those students that)
work within student government would be in-,
formed of our tentative proposals and would;
present a consolidated front to the University to;
deal with problems and issues which would,
concern both parties. ' )
We think that by establishing meetings, times,
and places in dorm areas and downtown we
could bolster our communications with students,
and we think a necessary outcome of that would)
be a greater morale and a higher level of
credibility, not only with students but with the,
administration. .
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.
