Show Candidates debate jobs, book prices By DIANE LOFGREN Chronicle Staff Lowering book prices, job placement for graduating students and whether or not candidates should represent particular student groups were recurrent issues as candidates for the Associated Students of the University of Utah (ASUU) presidency spoke at the East Institute of Religion Thursday. Todd Hayes, 'fusion party presidential candidate, was unable to attend because he was only notified of the forum late Wednesday night. His running mate, Max Coff, was never notified. Dave Heath explained the basics of the 'fusion party. Most candidates recognized the need for something to be done about the high cost of books in the University bookstore. A student co-op bookstore set up in the Union, which would offer both used books at lower prices and competition to the bookstore, is the solution proposed by Dave Hansen, Students for Students presidential candidate. can-didate. "A student co-op and the bookstore is a dead issue," said Norm Albiston, vice-presidential candidate of the Make It Happen party. Mr. Albiston quoted a 1938 Chronicle stating that the high cost of books and the establishment of a co-op was a major issue of the students. He said that since then it has been proven across the nation that student co-op bookstores won't work. Mr. Albiston said that the answer is to work through the professors. Pressure should be put onto the professors to turn in their book lists early enough for the bookstore to order used instead of new books. "Gripe to college councils when your professors make you buy a new book and then use only a single chapter, and get the professor to change," he said. Placing graduated University students into jobs was called by Steve "Philo" Johnson of the Students for Students party "a problem of students stu-dents as a group, not a problem of LDSSA, of the fraternities, of the Huddle, but a problem of the students." Strengthening the Job Placement Center, along with strengthening the college councils were two of the major points of Brandt Hutchison Hut-chison of the Independent party. He said that students should come out of the University with an education and a job. Paul Iwasaki, running for vice-president in the Independent party, Mid he has become disenchanted with the whole situation, and the only thing he could find to do about it was to run and try to be Wed so he could change the problems. Moss said that the useful continuation of the University depends on now well the University can meet the needs of society and meet needs of the students. He noted that last year Weber State University placed more graduates in the field of marketing than did tne University of Utah. Repeatedly all six of the candidates from the three parties told the S'up that they were not appealing or representing a certain student i'H ion campus. However Moss and Hansen appeared to be a little ls on how the factions of the campus should be represented on tissue of Bill 98 and the funding of the Human Sexuality In-wmation In-wmation and Counseling Center.
