February 21, 1992 A look at th ww I lulva Monday's primary for Senate Executives Raymond Jones trie Adamson Jon Jester Chad Anderson president vice president treasurer secretary My friends and I have decided to run for the Senate executive body because we have notbeen satisfied with the direction in which our college has been going. We are concerned with the way the stu dents' money is being spent. Keeping in mind the tremendous budget deficit, itseems foolish to be spending money on trivial items such as the new lights on top of the security vehicle. We are also concerned Joe Wallace Carl Christie Andy Hultberg Mike Stone president vice president treasurerr secretary Our Platform: 1. Putting the community back in the Community Senate. —The floating Senate (Conducting Senate meetings in the different residence halls) to promote non-senator attendance —Strongly encouraging Senators to report and talk to the people they represent on a regular basis about Senate activities. -Making upcoming events known, well in advance, so interested people may attend. -Encourage Senators to become invovlved with other organizations —Holding "office hours" to enable any in dividual with a concern u) speak out about it about some of the policies currently being discussed in the Senate (i.e. keg policy). Another of our major concerns is the judi ciary process, where it seems that one is guilty until proven innocent. The traditions of this school are impor tant, and they are not being upheld. The basic Quaker philosophy of consensus is currently being compromised, the Mary Hobbs situation is a perfect example. in order to have more direct input After all, it is the "Community's" Senate! 2. Increased involvement in environmen tal affairs. 3. Increased Student Service emphasis upon quality and efficiency during meals. 4. On-going campus beautification projects, including support on a project to place more benches around campus for people to use and enjoy the scenery. 5. Any other concerns the students in the Guilford College Community would like addressed because we are here to listen to what others have to say instead of telling them what we want to do! NEWS Our Platform: •Stronger bond between Senate and student body. —Greater student voice in administrative affairs. —Widespread understanding of Senate by student body. —Extended knowledge of student issues discussed in Senate. —Promote senatorial involvement in other campus organizations and activities. •Increased independence of the Student M Jnx. ■ f m ■ mm mm H s ..?■■■■■■& i —- Jason Smith Chuck Dunn Reggie James Suzanne Moore president vice president treasurer secretary What we would like to accomplish next year in Senate are predominantly realistic, high energy, high profile goals. We want Guilford College students to know what Senate does. We are speaking to students across campus to see what they want accom plished next year. Students have continually expressed concerns about security, a sexual harassment policy, Painter Boulevard and health services. Suzanne Moore has been instrumental in past improvements in stu dent services. Chuck and Reggie's experi ences with Residential Life and my own with Judicial Review Task Force and Senate give us the sensitivity and coir.petence nec essary to effectively deal with these issues. Also, we would like to improve training for .... \ It-v .HMifflHHi nnHBnL THE GUELFOkDIAN Union. •Greater community involvement in env ronmental issues. •Studentinvolvement in reconstructing first year student seminars, formerly IDS. •Improved first-year student orientation. •Greater emphasis on career development and counseling. •Support the review of 24 hour visitation policy. •Legislate initiatives to confront the issue of sexual harassment and violations. our student Judicial Board. Again, Chuck's experience as Co-Chair of Judicial Board and our close contact with one of the currer.; co-chairs would be vital. Few people realize that the Senate Treasurer is responsible for a student activities budget of nearly a quar ter of a million dollars. As Budget Manager of WQFS, Reggie is quite capable of effec tively budgeting this money. Student opin ion so far seems to show that students are interested in increased student activities, such as better bands on campus. Through some clever budgeting, we belive we can increase the funding for Union next yeai. These are certainly not all of the goals we hope to accomplish next year, but it is a solid start. 7
