THE STUDENT NEWS AND VIEWS OF SOUTHERN UTAH STATE COLLEGE Scott Price heads the G.O.L.D. Party ticket CEDAR CITY, UTAH T heron Jensen heads the U.S. Party ticket Jensen, Price vie for ASSUSC presidency by Fletcher Matson Two political parties with similar goals but differing philosophies will compete for student council seats in the 1984 ASSUSC General Elections. Last weeks primary elections narrowed the political selection to members of the United Students and the Gaining Order, Leadership and Development parties. Voters eliminated Ray Olsen and Gordon Gurr, two independent candidates, from the presidential race. David Burton, an unaffiliated candidate for the business and technology senatorial seat, was also eliminated from this weeks election. Both parties advocate improved communication between students and government representatives, creating effective service organizations and more campus growth through student involvement, but their presidential candidates disagree sharply on how to achieve these goals. Scott Price, G.O.L.D. presidential candidate, says activism is his partys watchword. He wants SUSC legislators to take the initiative for evolution in the college by researching problems and submitting solution proposals on their own as well as relating students concerns. Theron Jensen, presidential candidate for the US party, states that campus government should always be the students instrument for management and improvement. His party is committed to wiping out apathy by establishing efficient communication lines between students and legislators so that student issues, not political issues, are resolved. Price, however, maintains The thing that changes apathy is not asking students what they want, its giving them programs that work. One of these party programs is promoting bills beneficial to SUSC by lobbying m state education organizations. Price believes SUSC can obtain support from the stare legislature for major projects if campus leaders become actively involved in the Utah Intercollegiate Association and tht Student Lobby Association. He sees lobbing as an important responsibility-lonneglected by previous presidents. (continued on page 3) |
