N ew D C S A all fire d up BY CANDICE LICHTENBERGER Chronicle staff ntroducing the 1999-2000 Durham College Student Association... I March 10, late afternoon: anticipa- tion was high, and so were hopes as this year's DCSA candidates gathered in a conference room in the Student Centre. Dwayne Christo, current DCSA presi- dent, held their fate in his hands. Votes had been tabulated and it was time to announce the winners. After a week of campaigning, the nominees were more than ready to hear the results. Moya Frape walked out of the room with a smile on her face and excitement in her eyes. She was president. "I want to get to know everyone (in the DCSA)," Frapc said. "I want to get the group together and get to work." Frape plans to work closely with Christo for the next few weeks and learn the ropes of the presidency. Students must have thought Dan McWhirter was tlie "McMan for the job" because he was voted in as this year's vice-president of Student Affairs. "I'm very relieved," McWhirter said. "This is a lot of weight off my shoulders." McWhirter believes the DCSA's open-door policy will be one of the best aspects he will offer students. "I am looking most forward to interacting with the stu- dents and working with this year's DCSA," he said. McWhirter wants to concentrate on the issues students find most important. ' - "I will do my best to carry on the tradition of an out- standing student association with my leadership and my Pholos by Vanossa Straiten willingness to fight for what's right," he said.
