GALLERY EDITOR’S NOTE The race for editor The Daily Texan editor-in-chief is elected by students every year in order to ensure that UT students get the newspaper they want and an editorial board that represents their interests. This year, two candidates are vying for the position: Bobby Cervantes and Lauren Winchester. The editorial board will not be making an endorsement in this election. Please pay careful attention to these campaigns. The leader you select will control the content of this page and lend signifi- cant direction to the newspaper as a whole. Today we are running editorials by both candidates, who are responding to this prompt: This year, UT is facing a flat budget. In the face of budget con- straints, President William Powers Jr. has decided to cut spend- ing across the University in order to put the money saved in that manner toward recruiting and retaining top faculty. Is that the proper path for the University to follow? Why or why not? Candidates wrote, edited and gave headlines to their own col- umns (we did very minimal copy editing). Both candidates have served on the editorial board this year, and their writing is available online at dailytexanonline.com. Vot- ing will be held March 2 and 3 at utsg.org.
