The first goal is communication. · we will maintain accessible, open lines of communication between SUUSA representatives, students and administration," Wasden said. To help reach this goal, a series of forums have been set up which will continue tprough the year as the "Get Red Forum Campaign.· The SUUSA web page also has information about activities, events and proposed Senate bills. The second goal is to maintain positive relations and strengthen ties with the community. It is met through efforts by the service committee and publicity committee. Also, Steve Nelson, academic vice president, sits on the Chamber of Commerce to represent students. Third, recruitment and retention. · we will work to continue to attract and keep the best students possible at SUU while increasing overall student involvement,· Wasden said. Current students travel to meet prospective students in person and 'Thunder Thursday' activities provide more regular entertainment for students here. The fourth and final goal is spirit. Students are encouraged to support the extra-curricular opportunities at SUU , including athletic events, theatre and arts. Wasden then shifted the focus to tuition and the lack of funds for higher education. "The money to provide us with an education can come from 'one of two places: our tuition or the legislature," Wasden said. He encouraged students to have their voices heard by voting in the elections on Nov. 7. "The Mure quality and accessibility of this university depends, in a large part, on us,· Wasden said. Following his address, students were encouraged to ask questions of the executive council regarding issues concerning them. A question was raised about what is being done to promote cultural diversity on campus. This year. the multicultural representative was chosen by the Multicultural Center, which helps bring the student government and the center closer. The Presidential Ambassadors are also traveling to out-of-state schools to recruit multicultural students. A resolution has been passed in the senate to begin diversity classes. Another question brought up the i~ue of how unaccessible SUU is to people with disabilities. It was suggested that a walking tour of campus be taken with some people with disabilities to determine where the problems are and what can be done to fix them. Wasden encouraged students to find out about the issues and voice their opinions with a vote. ~ ant to ear·n e_ ~tra money?
