Show Tfie Tfumderbird Monday, Fe6ruary 27, 1984 Page J Final student body elections set Wednesday (continued from page 1) Price wants to form a college rent board with student, adviser and landlord representatives to settle housing disputes and stardardize contracts so that renters and managers get a fair deal. He also favors establishing a graduate interview program that would increase job opportunities for seniors and make traveling to SUSCs remote campus d recruiters. more attractive for A retail internship program with local businesses, like that at the University of Utah and Utah State University, would improve students marketability, he says. According to Price, his party will form an academic student council to deal with more problems than just distributing the ASSUSC budget, although he does indicate that allocations be closely monitored and modified, if need be, for efficient use by the recipients. The G.O.L.D. platform also includes establishing a number of awards and chartering an Honor Society to recognize exceptional scholastic achievers. The changes we propose are not representative of the G.O.L.D. party per se, says Price. They were researched for two months and we allowed for student and adviser input. Its not quick action, its not drastic action, its progressive action. Jensen, however, says the opposing party is talking about things that have been tried and failed. This campaign, as I see it, has been pushed into revolving around issues created for the campaign. The issues that deal with students need to be created by students. city-base- Jensen wants to build a more effective senate by getting solid student input from every aspect of the campus. He wants to form an executive committee of the dean and department chairmen within each school; the senators for that school would head an appointed student committee for each department. Both groups would define and present academic grievances to the senate for resolution. Were establishing an open forum through the senate, he states. Its time to hear from the students. Jensen agrees that SUSC graduates need a more effective interview program The US party also wants an academic student council and Jensen would like to organize a quarterly budget session to effectively disburse money where it will be used well. Jensen says state-levlobbying for the college is an important responsibility, but its not a major consideration in his campaign because it occupies maybe 10 percent of a presidents working time. In reply to allegations made by Price that, at a Phi Beta Lambda meeting last week. Jensen claimed that if he were elected the campus would not change, he says he is in favor of controlled growth but fears that grow'th for The ASSUSC election ballots will feature two parties the U.S. and the G.O.L.D. Voters are free to vote for individual contenders of either party. r iwrawmnmifMnwnwiiiMniOT w nininmmmTfiniii but prefers to base a counselinginterview center in a Salt Lake house donated to SUSC, taking the applicants to a large market rather than bringing the market to the applicants. Although the US party outlines few solid programs in its platform adhering to the tenet that students, not politicians, create issues Jensen does say that easing the housing shortage for married students is a top priority. He has spent time at SUSC both married and single, and he says, I think that makes me more effective as an administrator when it comes to serving all the students. n riTiifii YfiwmiTiTrriaii m TraumwiTTT growths sake could eliminate the personal attention and friendly rapport students receive from faculty and staff. This institution has a personality and its that personality I want to see unchanged. We have to watch our growth to be careful that we dont outgrow ourselves and our personality. " Price, a junior communications major who has participated in debating programs for six years, challenged Jensen to a political debate last week. Jensen, a senior accounting major, declined but says he would still consider a discussion of the issues; however, I think his asking me to debate playing into his forte is like my asking him to an accounting contest. How far would he get if he played into my forte? Jensen stresses that his partys strongest asset is its people; all his running mates and senators have had experience in either government or student service positions. Bruce Hiskey, US candidate for social affairs vice president, has served as public relations director for PBL and program director for LDSSA. Bob Sperry, academic vice president candidate, is currently president of the Circle K club. Jensen himself is currently serving as a business and technology senator. I think my qualifications are there, he says. I know I can do the job. This institution has given me a lot, taught me a lot. Id like to give something back. Prire, who has worked on government committee but never held an official ofiice, also lauds the experience and dedication of his running mates. Staci Bird, candidate for social affairs vice president, is currently the clubs and organizations coordinator for ASSUSC and Steve Wright, academic vice president candidate, was chairman of the Student Intercommunications Board at Brigham Young University. Were a group of highly motivated individuals in the G.O.L.D. party, says Price. We handpicked each of these individuals so that their experience matches their jobs. I think if we win this election, its indicative that people support us and our proposals. I think our platform is a beginning, not an end, to communication with students. Our door is open. Forensic squad shines in Arizona The SUSC forensic students captured sweepstakes honors at the University of Arizonas annual Desert Classic. Two SUSC debate teams one in senior division NDT (National Debate Topic), the other in junior NDT finished competition with 11-- 0 records.

Chidester started competition with Vince Meldrum who had to drop out of the competition after the second round because of illness. I finally had to take him to the hospital, Smith said.
