I think the students would care if they knew what was going on in the Senate and SGA and if they knew what the executive was thinking of doing. I think Jerry Cameron has done a tremendous job this year but it is not so tremendous that it cannot be improved upon in that the students would know that Jerry was fighting for them. They will know that certain things are being done by the executive. Would you say that the communication problems arise from a lack of publicity? Yes, I would. What qualificatioi-4-1 do you yourself have for this office? I think experience is definitely needed for this job. I can't express that strongly enough. I have been in the Senate; I have been closely associated with the things student government has been doing this year. I have worked closely with Jerry in some of the things that he has done and I understand what is involved The President has a tremendous job to do and it goes to different areas: from having dances to seeing that quality education is being pursued at Elon College. I feel that quality education is the only way that Elon can compete with other institutions. I am given to the understanding that Princeton has only about a thousand students more than Elon and look at its prestige as far as quality is concerned. What particular issues do you feel will be influential in determining the outcome of this campaign? In my campaign, I am going to stand up for the students when it is necessary and try to improve the name and quality of Elon College in the academic world. This and the improvement of communication between the student government officers and the students are the issues I am standing on. With student support, SGA can achieve a great deal and improve the name of Elon. I think at present a closer alliance between students and faculty is important It seems to me that the administration is getting a little un-approachable to students. I would like very much to rectify this and I am sure I can. Because of discontent among students here, how much of this election do you feel will be based on personalities rather than issues? I think students are becoming more aware of what's happening in the SGA and they want someone to act in their interests. I don't think personalities will play an important role at all in this campaign, I think issue and ability are what will count in the campaign. Better student participation in the running of the school and better communication are my issues. After all, ;.he school is here for the students. They should have some say in what they're getting for their money—and that would be quality education.
