Peter IN THEIR WORDS Campaign Slogan: "Putting Students First." Most Important Idea: Improving student services, including the spelling out of student rights, getting a non-voting student on the Board of Trustees, adjusting the meal plans and improving communication between student government and students. CESARO Most Feasible: Working to change the dining plan and privatizing SafeRide. Least Feasible: Getting a student on the Board of Trustees. Notable Quote: "We want to take the government to the students and increase communi cation so that people aren't saying 'What does student government do?"' Prior Experience: Cesaro is Knott Hall co-president and served previously as the Planner Hall freshmen representative, sophomore class. president and student senator. Selak is sopho more class vice president, co-chairs the Social Concerns Committee and previously served as freshman class secretary. IN OUR WORDS The Best Ideas: Forums with other colleges and universities to address ethnic and other social concerns; extending SafeRide to "popular" going-out nights; the creation of a new posi tion to aid students in appealing parking citations. Most Feasible: Posting student employment opportunities on the student government home page; replacing the Campus Hook-Up with more efficient means of advertising. Least Feasible: Privatizing SafeRide without cutting funding to other important student government undertakings. WHERE THEY STAND Student-administration Relations -Would push for a non-voting student member of the Board of Trustees. Inner-workings of Government - They believe the student government's executive cabinet has great potential for achievement and "could be such a powerful tool." Gender Relations - The pair sees the Women's Resource Center as playing a larger role on campus; they want to increase funding, publicity and office space for the center. Diversity - Can be more easily addressed by "bringing students together" through forums and similar activities; increase accessibility for disabled students. Off-Campus Students - Addressed the need for off-campus presidents to sit on the Hall Presidents' Council; stated that creation of "block captains" can help publicize student govern ment activities to various apartment complexes. What We Like: Cesaro and Selak understand both the workings of student government and Andrea the complementary role of hall government through experience in each. Their attention to detail prompted them to research each platform proposal. What We're Worried About: All researching abilities aside, they lack long-range vision for the University, which would give focus to their slate of campaign ideas. These two did not display the passion for improving student government that was present in other tickets; 'they tended to SELAK dance around the questions, summarizing the platform rather than honing in on specific answers. Selak's quiet demeanor calls into question her assertiveness and ability to lead the senate. Class/Major: Corrigan and Doherty are both junior finance majors. IN THEIR WORDS Campaign Slogan: "Great expectations for simple changes." Kevin Most Important Idea: Setting up a campus-wide database that student can use to buy and sell used textbooks. Corrigan and Doherty believe this will foster competition' with the bookstore to keep students from "getting ripped off." Most Feasible: Any of their ideas that "eliminates a common inconvenience," such as CORRIGAN installing campus telephones in parking lots and re-painting crosswalks. Least Feasible: Installation of Notre Dame Federal Credit Union ATM outside Grace Hall. Notable Quote: "We want to interact with the students and get their ideas, because there are lots of other people who are out there thinking." Prior Experience: Stanford Hall Council meetings; Corrigan is the dorm's food commis sioner. IN OUR WORDS The Best Ideas: An accessible alumni-student network designed to help students use the "Notre Dame family" when job-hunting, giving a scope that extends beyond South Bend and Chicago; putting campus phones in student parking lots. Most Feasible: Re-painting the crosswalks around campus. Least Feasible: Changing the 24-hour detex systems for the female dorms. WHERE THEY STAND Student-administration Relations - Will look into the idea of a student sitting on the Board of Trustees. Inner-workings of Government - They want to further empower the Hall Presidents' Council, which the duo says is "the students' arena" for open communication. Gender Relations - They want to eliminate the 24-hour lock on dormitory doors, saying it makes random "drop-in" visits inconvenient and thus deterring one gender from visiting the other's dorms. Diversity - Did not enumerate a specific course of action, but said they will investigate the issue and get the ball rolling. Off-campus Students -Will encourage the involvement of the off-campus co-presi dents. because "their opinions mean as much. They may not live on-campus, but they still spend half the day here." What We Like: They have logical and practical reasons for putting each idea on their plat form, and they can articulate these reasons. Much of their platform deals with "eliminating Brian common inconveniences," which indicates a real ear for what students are complaining about. What We're Worried About: Despite their enthusiasm and conviction that experience is immaterial, these two are underestimating,_ the am.ount of time it takes to get a solid grasp of the bureaucracy of student government. In these two positions, there's no room for uncertain DOHERTY ty or a period of turmoil after the transition. N page 4 Class/Major: Costello is a junior governmenVinternational studies major and llesburgh Public Policy concentrator; Boyd is a sophomore theology major. Michele IN THEIR WORDS Campaign Slogan: "Committed to Action." Most Important Idea: To continue service to the community. Costello and Boyd want to spearhead a fundraising poster project for the Center for the Homeless similar to the "Irish COSTELLO Impact" series; utilize the ex-officio position for a student member on the Board of Trustees. Most Feasible: They emphasized the feasibility of a non-voting student member on the Board of Trustees and bringing Adam Sandler to campus. Costello and Boyd's platform involved three months of research which leads them to believe that all of their ideas arc feasible. Least Feasible: Voting student member on the Board of Trustees. Notable Quote: Costello, on being the only female presidential candidate: "''m running because I feel! am the most qualified. Experience has nothing to do with gender." Prior Experience: Costello has worked in the Office of the President as the assistant pub licity chair and on the service committee. She was also the sophomore class vice president and a member of SUB's entertainment committee. Boyd is Keough's senator and has served on the ethics committee, Campus Club Council and the student government reform committee. IN OUR WORDS The Best Ideas: A support group desigQed to aid the student member on the Board of Trustees. This group would help research and write proposals to bring the Board - to join the administration, they should function like it. Most Feasible: Re~tarting the Irish Impact poster project for charity. Least Feasible: A student discount card to be used at South Bend area stores. WHERE THEY STAND Student-administration Relations- Utilize University by-laws to get a student on the Board of Trustees now; will work to get a voting student member on tlw Board in the future. Inner-workings of Government - Start formal information sessions so that the senate and Executive Cabinet arc updated on which the other is working on or have completed. Gender Relations- They did not address this issue. Diversity - Use resources of other campuses by hosting a regional conference; morn joint activities between multicultural clubs and student government. They emphasize the non Catholic voice as a minority. Off-campus Students -Other than increasing the role of the on·-campus senator, they did not have concrete or long-range plans for ofT-campus students. A.J. What We Like: Commitment to service. Government should be about serving the community. What We're Worried About: The closed and covert nature of Boyd's ethics cornmittm~ raises concerns about his ability to lead the Senate. The team has few long-term goals to eon BOYD tribute to the vision of this university and its students, especially in the realm of gender rela tions and diversity; dubs may lose autonomy if Costello tries to increase their connections with student government. Class/Major: Leon is a junior government/international studies major; Grunow is a junior mechanical engineering major. IN THEIR WORDS Mark Campaign Slogan: "Bringing student government back to the students." Most Important Idea: Improving students' perenption of student government by increasing the number of rnsolutions accepted by the administration, in part by attaching to each resolu tion a presnntation that addrnsses possible objections on legal, theological or canonical grounds. LEEN Most Feasible: Creating a student director for SafeHide, which maintains student control for the program and allows grcatnr scheduling flexibility, which privatizing would not allow. Least Feasible: Satellitn Grah-N-Go stations in academic buildings around campus. Notable Quote: "We as studnnt'i nend to be more involved in our government; as people who go to a Catholic university, we need to care." Prior Experience: Leon servnd on Studnnt Senatn and CLC, chaired the senate ethics com milton and CLC's du Lac revisions committee. Grunow is the student government-senate liaison. IN OUR WOHDS The Best Ideas: Utilizing the Executive Cabinet to focus attention on gender and racial issues, writing better-resnarched resolutions, convincing administration to convert current bookstorn into a social setting for students. Most Feasible: Studnnt control of SafeHide, returning the Huddle's closing time to 3 a.m. Least Feasible: Convnrting currnnt bookstore into a social setting for student'>. WHERE THEY STAND Student-administration Relations - Will bn "realistic" in pushing for a non-voting stu dnnt mmnber of the Board of Trustees. Inner-workings of Government - The pn~sidential veto should only be usnd with the aim of forcing the senate and the president to work more closely to "build a consensus" on an issue. It should not bP usN! as an end to an issue. Gender Relations - Usn Exncutive Cabinet to en sum coordination of event'> and contribute to programming; Use Board of Trustnes report to examine problems of gender; forums with Notn!

The Board ofTrustnes report could also examine problems of race.

Sarah What We Like: Lmm and Grunow know the ins and outs of student government, and their plan to add f.,'l-n page 5 Class/Major: FitzSimons is a junior government/international studies major, and Murphy is a junior American studies major. Both are concentrating in the Hesburgh Program. IN THEIR WORDS Tim Campaign Slogan: "Vote FitzSimons and Murphy." Most Important Idea: Improvement of the Women's Resource Center through the addi tion of programming that targets both sexes. Most Feasible: Inclusion of off-campus presidents in the Hall Presidents Council. FITZSIMONS Least Feasible: A student as a voting member on the University's Board of Trustees. Notable Quote: "It is important that the student body president and vice president are ful filling commitments and representing themselves and Notre Dame well to the public."_ Prior Experience: FitzSimons and Murphy currently serve together on the Hall Presidents Council as the presidents of Sorin and Keenan Halls, respectively. Both served as members ·of their hall councils in previous years. IN OUR WORDS The Best Ideas: A colloquium on the millennium for the students of the University as a means for long-term continuity of ideas from the undergraduate population; mandatory con tribution of drivers to SafeRide by clubs receiving more than $500 of University funds. Most Feasible: The aforementioned proposition to expand the focus of programs emanat ing from the Women's Resource Center. Least Feasible: The renovation of the basement of Hesburgh Library to allow for a more comfortable atmosphere and higher quality refreshments. WHERE THEY STAND Student-administration Relations - Intend to pursue the seating of a voting member on the Board of Trustees, but have indicated their willingness to compromise with the board and the administration if necessary. Inner-workings of Government - Their experience does not suggest a great deal of understanding of the specific functions and processes of the system, but their research into these areas of concern may prove complementary to their work with HPC. Gender Relations - Genuinely concerned with this increasingly prominent campus issue. They offer concrete ideas toward the improvement in this regard, such as further development of the role of the Women's Resource Center and increased 24-hour social space. Diversity - Address the issue with a number of goals such as the streamlining of the gov ernment's diversity department and the cultural arts committee to eliminate budgetary con flict, improved access to, and publicity of, prejudice reduction workshops. Ott-campus Students - Show concern for the recent lack of communication between stu dent government and off-campus students; intend to include the off-campus presidents in HPC. What We Like: FitzSimons and Murphy offer a refreshing combination of dynamism and perspective. They possess a far-reaching vision of student interaction with the administration Brian and the Board of Trustees, while maintaining a realistic understanding of the day-to-day com mitments of holding the executive positions in student government. What We're Worried About: Despite their apparent energy and experience as leaders of their respective dorms, Murphy and FitzSimons do not have frrst-hand experience with the MURPHY procedure and functions of policy-affecting bodies such as the Student Senate and CLC. While their attitude and work-ethic would be ideal for leaders of those governmental institutions, a better working knowledge of the system could prove critical. Class/Major: Poirier, a sophomore, is a government/international studies and history double major. Smith is a freshman ALPP and economics double major. IN THEIR WORDS Walter Campaign Slogan: "Drop the Bomb in '98." Most Important Idea: Creating more on-campus activities so that students are less enticed to go to off-campus establishments. Most Feasible: "There is no one singular plank of our platform that starids out as OIRIER being more feasjble than any other," Poirier said, emphasizing h{s belief that it is both possible and crucial to plan on-campus activities on weekends. Least Feasible: Converting Stepan Center into a discotecque. Notable Quote: "We want to end the 'Griffin and Nass Club.' It's a quasi-yacht club.'' Prior Experience: Poirier sits on the gender relations committee and attends Zahm Hall Council; Smith has none. IN OUR WORDS The Best Ideas: In light of the recent Bridget's raid, it makes sense that Poirier and Smith are looking to pack the weekends with on-campus activities. Most Feasible: See above. Least Feasible: Getting Sting to grapple with some World Wrestling Federation com petitors in the Joyce Center. WHERE THEY STAND Student-administration Relations - This ticket is against putting a student on the Board of Trustees, saying that selecting the student is a problem and the position might not be as active as people hope. Inner-workings of Government - Poirier/Smith did not comment. Gender Relations - Publicizing activities to foster interest among students in improving gender relations. Diversity- "This is the admissions office's area," Poirier said, adding that their ticket wants to deal better with the level of diversity Notre Dame currently has. Ott-campus Students - Getting an outpost set up in an off-campus area, making information available at the whim of the off-campus student. What We Like: Their desire to be active members of Notre Dame's student communi ty is appealing because they are comparatively young. At times, Poirier showed legiti mate concern that student government is cliquish and isolated, offering his ticket's lack Gregory of experience as a remedy for this. What We're Worried About: The platform is missing concrete ideas. A desire to avoid a club-like student government should not preclude devising definitive goals for .11.·\ .. ··., 1:.-y··.~.·H.· ·· effecting change both in that area and around campus. S" "... ;' ..

IN THEIR WORDS Matt Campaign Slogan: "No More Bull." Most Important Idea: Giving out lottery tickets for a half-court shot at Midnight Madness to win a partial or full scholarship to Notre Dame, paid for with alumni contributions. Most Feasible Idea: Getting a non-voting student member on the Board of Trustees; the TOMKO outline for this "already exists in the University by-laws." Least Feasible Idea: Getting a voting student member. Notable Quote: "We're not politicians, but we have proven that we can get the job done." Prior Experience: Tomko is the Knott Hall student senator and sits or has sat on the senate committees for residence life, multiculturalism and gender relations, and the financial manage ment board. Kerr is the student senator from Siegfried, and is on the residence life, oversight and ad hoc committee for the student bill of rights. He is also the senate-SUB relator. IN OUR WORDS The Best Ideas: The realistic approach toward a non-voting student member on the Board of Trustees before trying for a voting member; town hall meetings to really "hear the voice of the students." Most Feasible: Expand SafeRide to Thursday nights and make it more reliable. Least Feasible: Converting the Hesburgh Library basement into a cafe and keeping it open on a 24-hour basis. WHERE THEY STAND Student-administration Relations - They believe a student sitting on the Board of Trustees provides an instrumental, unified student voice behind the offices of student body president and vice president. They believe that the pursuit of a non-voting member of the board is the best initial course of action. Inner-workings of Government - More interaction between Student Senate and llall Presidents' Council. Gender Relations - More communication between the administrations of Notre Dame and Saint Mary's to make Saint Mary's women more a part of the Notre Dame family. Diversity - They cited more involvement with the diversity chair of student government. They intend to foster further ties between OMSA and student government. Off-campus Students- They said it is the off-campus students' responsibility to keep up with campus events; there would be an information desk for them in the student government office. They also expressed interest in conducting a study of why students are choosing to live off campus and using the results of such a study to improve incentives for living in the resi Ross dence halls. What We Like: Their platform is very well-researched, probably more so than the other candidates. Kerr's dynamic personality would be effective for leading the Student Senate; Tomko's behind-the-scenes research would help him get the job done. What We're Worried About: Despite the aforementioned, this ticket does not have very KERR concrete ideas about gender relations or diversity. Also, their lack of concern for off-campus students' needs is not a good quality for leadership of the student body. Class/Major: Williams is a junior history and philosophy double major; Reising is a sophomore communications and government/international studies double major. IN THEIR WORDS Brandon Campaign Slogan: "Making it Happen." Most Important Idea: To improve race relations at Notre Dame by attracting promi nent speakers to campus to address issues of diversity. Most Feasible: Improving the availability and accessibility of food services and increas ing the convenience of book purchases with the use of a more extensive on-line service. WILLIAMS Least Feasible: They feel their research proves the feasibility of all of their goals. Notable Quote: "We still haven't seen what the (new) constitution can do." Prior Experience: Williams represents Zahm Hall in the Student Senate and is a mem ber of the Campus Life Council; he also chairs the CLC's diversity committee. As a sopho more, Williams sat on HPC as co-president of Zahm Hall. Reising represents P.E. in the Student Senate, and also has experience with the Student Union Board and, as a freshman, served as a class representative and class vice president. IN OUR WORDS The Best Ideas: Implementation of a comprehensive diversity presentation involving race, gender, religion and sexual preference in the context of Freshman Orientation; addi tion of late-night dining hall hours for snacking and caffeine. Most Feasible: The aforementioned diversity presentation. Least Feasible: Commercialization of LaFortune for improved food options. WHERE THEY STAND Student-administration Relations - Williams and Reising feel that it is "over whelmingly important" to place a student of the University's Board of Trustees and would push for a voting member. They also hope to resolve issues of enumerated student rights in regards to academics and interaction with Student Affairs. Inner-workings of Government - Williams and Reising agree with c'onstitutional ehanges that emphasize the separation of polky-making and programming within the Student Senate and llall Presidents' Council respectively. Gender Relations - Very attentive to problem of gender relations at ND/SMC; pursu ing expanded c.ooperation with SMC student government; access to 24-hour space also a key issue. Heising is a member of the senate's gender relations committee. Diversity - Genuine concern for multicultural groups. Ideas include introductory preju dice reduction workshops, attraction of nationally prominent speakers and increased inter action between students and female professors that are both insightful and feasible. Off-campus Students - Acknowledging the inevitability of students moving off cam pus, they plan to distribute a regular newsletter, accentuating the importance of contact between the vice president and the ofT-campus senator to keep those students informed. Julie What We Like: Their passion for making Notre Dame a better place lends credibility to the long-term goals of improving gender relations and diversity. They bring the right amount of experience, while simultaneously staying connected to student wants and needs. REISING What We Worry About: Williams is not as polished as some, though this brings with it a straightforwardness that politician-types often lack. --~------~------~--~ E· N THE CONSTITUTION Monday, February 9. 1998 page 7 OF SOUND WORD AND PROCEDURE After a year of ironing, Student Union Senate vice president \,Standing committees J I committees predict I I I fairly smooth course I (I) Chief of Staff I Office of the president I in road ahead I I ByMATTHPWLOUGHRAN I Associate News Editor I (2) SUB Board Manager I Director of Programming On April 1, 1997, the new Constitution of the I Undergraduate Student Body, was adopted by the I Student Senate. I After 10 months. the new structure has shown both II ( strengths and weaknesses. But, according to members of HPC co-chairs Hall Presidents' Coundil the original student government reform committee, the I structure is strong, it simply needs clarification in some I minor areas. !Student body president "The senate has worked," said Brendan Kelly, former chair of the student government reform committee. "By (6) Club Coordinator making it up the way we did with a senator for every hall, Club Coordination Council and removing the senators from the hall council aspects :Club Council Representatives of government, the senate has become empowered and Executive Cabinet has gotten a lot of stufl' done. "Many of the new senators are very eager to get involved," he added. "The reforms have even initiated a reform of the Campus Life Council." Class presidents Another strong aspect that the members noted was the increased representation in the Student Senate. "I like how the new structure has worked," said Mark Leon. former district three senator and current presiden tial candidate. "There is a lot more representation in the (2) Off-campus co-presidents current Student Senate. You go to a hall and everybody Off-campus council knows who their senator is. When I was a senator, nobody knew who I was." The Student Senate has borne the brunt of the constitu tional revisions. Under the old constitution, the Student Election Committee Senate was presided over by the student body president, and contained members of SUB, the Club Coordination Judicial Council Council and the Hall Presidents' Council. Currently, the only members of the senate are those in the separate Student Advocates office of "senator." Each dorm is allowed one senator. "Prior to the current student government, there was not good representation for the students on the senate," Business Board Sam Gaglio, assistant dean of the College of Business Administration, and a guest member of the reform com mittee said. "Some arms of the government were going oiT and doing their own things. It was very hard for all the students to be represented on the senate." In the opinion of many student leaders, the aspects of the constitution that need to be ironed out have been handled by the senate's oversight committee. "Some things were proposed by the oversight commit tee in the last senate meeting," said Matt Mamak, senator from Keenan Hall and chair of the oversight committee. "I think that the constitution itself is a very long, tedious document and as we have been amending it, we have been fixing that. "The part that talks about the difference between an action and a resolution, where the president can decide not to approve an action and the senate can override that was slightly confusing," he continued. "We have cleared that up and it is explained in the constitution that the sen ate was acting on its own power in that instance." A constitutional review board was established as a means of checking the progress of the constitution in its first year. "I think that it was too haphazard in its con struction," argued Kelly. "With this committee, you have to be really sure of what you are doing. Here you have an unelectcd body that can overturn what you do. It needs a lot more coordination." Another problem that has been expressed, by some of the candidates for student body president, is the lack of involvement by the llall Presidents' Council in any policy making decisions. "The constitution has taken a lot of power to make decisions away from the hall presidents," said Mark Fennell. former Kennan Hall co-president and current co chair of the IIPC. "Some of the presidents have been dis appointed over the lack of control that they have over pol icy, but I think that we have fixed that weak link of com munication." "It was a conscious decision to make the Hall Presidents' Council less of a policy body and more of a programming body," Kelly agreed. "The hall presidents approved the new constitution. Their job is to plan activi ties for their dorms. In taking away the policy, we have just taken away something that is a burden to them." Every onn of tim leaders agreed that many of the prob lems with the constitution have been ironed out in the Failure[of either the president or vice president] to last 10 months and that the process has become stream constit}ltional duties shall constitute grounds lined.
