Three of Tammy Wynettc's daughters have written letters a..'iking that the country singer's body be exhumed for an autopsy. In letters sent to Dr. Bruce Levy, Nashville's medical examiner, the daughters said they want to make sure their mother died from a blood clot as reported by her personal doctor. In a letter obtained by WTVF-TV in Nashville, Jackie Daly told Levy she wants "to stress to you how important it is to my sisters and I to really know how our mother died. I find it hard to believe you can tell how my mother died by looking at her and not doing an autopsy." Similar letters were sent to Levy by Wynette's daughters Tina Jones and Georgette Smith, whose father is country singer George Jones.

I ~ ELECTION '9 9 Friday, February 5, 1999 page 3 Class/Major: Brian is a freshman pre-med major, and Chucta is a senior- he'll return for Brian a fifth year- with a film production and design double major. IN THEIR WORDS Campaign Slogan: "A New Beginning, A Bright Future" Clemency Most Important Idea: Make government open to students. Most Feasible Idea: Direct election of other Student Union offices, like secretary and trea surer. Least Feasible Idea: Eliminate the position of Club Coordination Council Coordinator. Notable Quote: "A government without the people can't be for the people." Prior Experience: Clemency comes off some high-schoolleadership positions; Chucta is on the Irish Guard. IN OuR WoRDs The Best Ideas: Strengthen and lengthen Gender Relations Week; add gender relations and diversity retreats. Most Feasible: Expanding Gender Relations Week; making all meetings open to the public and in public places. Least Feasible: The sweeping constitutional reform. on which the Senate votes - but would it really vote to abolish itself? Also, moving student government out of its office spaee and moving The Observer back into LaFortune (it's a nice try, but if it were at all feasible, we'd be back over there already). Sound Bite: "Closed doors breed elitism- they remove students from the process." WHERE THEY STAND Student-Administration Relations: Increase understanding of both sides. Clemency sees it as a tough balance between pushing for student needs without isolating the adminis tration. Inner-Workings of Government: The constitutional reforms include eliminating Student Senate and replacing it with other bodies, renaming the president "representative at large," and making class government autonomous. Gender Relations: Instead of inundating freshmen with activities during orientation and letting things taper off later, Clemency proposed having socials and mini-retreats scattered throughout the year. Diversity: "Strengthen the understanding of different cultures and promote better rela tions," the duo said. Off-Campus Students: Eliminate off-campus student government and give greater repre sentation in other government bodies. Daniel What We Like: Clemency had energy and ambition which is rare in a freshman. Don't be surprised if you hear his name in the future. What We Don't Like: Clemency is eloquent enough to express his ideas. but shows little Chucta understanding that constitutional reform takes a long time to implement. Chucta did speak up softly a few times, but mostly let Clemency run the show. Class/Major: Both are freshmen; Costigan plans to be a government major, while Buyske is eyeing engineering. Chris IN THEIR WoRDs Campaign Slogan: "Why Not?" Most Important Idea: Restructuring the meal plans Costigan Most Feasible Idea: Getting cable in dorm rooms, like at Saint MaryOs. Least Feasible Idea: Getting kegs at on-campus parties by registering them with the dorm rector. Notable Quote: "You can quote me on that." Prior Experience: Buyske did not list any; Costigan is a volunteer fireman and EMT. IN OUR WORDS The Best Ideas: Having un-eaten dining hall meals meals convert to flex points at the end of the week so that the money is not wasted. Most Feasible: Establishing more programming to get students involved in diversity issues. Least Feasible: Unfortunately, getting cable TV in dorm rooms. Sound Bite: "You can't group all the Zahm candidates together as jokes." WHERE THEY STAND Student-Administration Relations: Costigan wants to see an increased voice for stu dents, especially with regard to major issues like the Big Ten. Inner-Workings of Government: More interaction between groups. Gender Relations: More activities that extend beyond freshman orientation seminars. Diversity: Fostering interaction through service projects. Off-Campus Students: More involvement with campus, possibly through RecSports. What We Like: Costigan!Buyske rightly note that the flex meal plans need refining and that money Is wasted because on-campus students have to get large meal plans that charge $7 or $8 per meal even though they rarely- if ever- use them all. What We Don't Like: Though we admire Costigan for his voluntee/positions in the com mllnity. he does not seem self-assured enollgh to represent the students to the administra tion. especially on tough issues. And Buyske- well. he never came to meet us. Matt Buyske ~-- ELECTION '9 9 page4 Friday, February 5, 1999 Class/Major: Deschene and Revers are both juniors; Revers is in Management Information Systems and Deschene is a computer science major. Sean IN THEIR WoRDs Campaign Slogan: "Two Common Guys, One Common Vision." Most Important Idea: Increasing diversity on campus and promoting multicultural events; Deschene increase power of the student voice by making sure government and the administration hear it. Most Feasible Idea: Online DART and online enrollment, eliminating inconvenience of trekking to the Joyce Center for just 5 minutes. Least Feasible Idea: Though Deschene and Revers are intense about getting a student Board of Trustees member, they acknowledge that itOs something that can't be done in just one administration, but across several. Notable Quote: "We want to be the voice of the student body, notjust the voice of the student government." Prior Experience: Deschene and Revers are new to student government. Both worked at cam pus clusters through OIT and Deschene is a dorm RCC. Revers is an assistant systems manager at The Observer and Deschene deejays at WVFI. INOURWORDS The Best Ideas: Increasing student-faculty forums; helping Career and Placement offer more online services; bringing DART and enrollment online. Most Feasible: The technology-oriented ideas, which have been researched -and, it is an area of expertise for both candidates. Least Feasible: Having an influence on distribution offmancial aid. Sound Bite: "It's hard for students to come to student government if student government doesn't come to them, too." WHERE THEY STAND Student-Administration Relations: Get a student member of the Board of Trustees; presi dent and vice president should constantly interact with the administration to get across student needs. Inner-Workings of Government: Work more openly to eliminate the perception of a stu dent government clique. Gender Relations: Improved 24-hour space for more interaction between genders. Diversity: Forum on race relations. Off-Campus Students: Encourage students to congregate during the day at Senior Bar, pos sibly by making it a coffee shop-area by day. What We Like: Deschene and Revers are a strong ticket. Their ideas are grounded in practi cality and their technical know-how is appropriate, given that this presidency helps usher Notre Mike Dame into the new millennium. What We Don't Like: Deschene tends to defer to Revers, whose public speaking ease seems better suited for the presidency. Also, the duo will have a lot to absorb if elected - the Revers Constitution and parliamentary procedures are the tip of the iceberg. Class/Major: Jayme is a junior from McGlinn and a graphic design/art history double major. Peate, a junior from Knott, is majoring in philosophy. Chana IN THEIR WORDS Campaign Slogan: "Students for Students." Mosf Important Idea: Giving back to the students. Jayme Most Feasible Idea: Co-sponsorship of events, specifically to benefit gender relations and diversity. Least Feasible Idea: Getting a student on the Board of Trustees. Notable Quote: "We want all students to have the best possible experience at Notre Dame: socially, academically and spiritually." Prior Experience: Jayme is the McGlinn Hall president and a coxswain on the women's crew team, and has been her hall secretary. Last year, Peate was student body president at the 15,000-student Moorpark College in California and was the California College Association Regional President. He is now Knott Hall president and captain of the debate team. IN OUR WORDS The Best Ideas: Improving race relations and bringing diversity issues to the forefront by encouraging clubs to co-sponsor events. Most Feasible: Update and improve the Career and Placement center "for all the students on campus who want to be something other than a consultant or accountant." Least Feasible: Making LaFortune open 24 hours. Sound Bite: ''I'm not a government major pretending to play government." WHERE THEY STAND Student-Administration Relations: Open the lines of communication to ensure that the student voice is heard. Inner-Workings of Government: Increase the dialogue between different branches of government. Gender Relations: increase 24-hour space on campus, improve gender relations week and have dorms and clubs co-sponsor events. Diversity: Focus on students and clubs working together to address the issues. Off-Campus Students: Facilitate activities that will draw them to campus and keep them informed of campus is~es, in part through their senators. What We Like: These two gel perfectly as a team, yet they retain their strong individuality. Both are familiar enough with government to get things done, yet possess a fresh perspective and readiness to work through all channels. What We Don't Like: The duo were vague about plans to implement the Career and Placement improvements, another of their pet issues. Dan Peate ------ ELECTION '9 9 -- Friday, February 5, 1999 5 Class/Major: Both are Zahm sophomores. Killen is an anthropology and Program of Liberal Studies double major, and Nebosky is studying mechanical engineering. Scott IN THEIR WORDS Campaign Slogan: "We're Nice Guys" Killen Most Important Idea: Increasing seating options for Notre Dame hockey fans at home games. Most Feasible Idea: An ethics review of business practices and pricing at the Notre Dame Bookstore. Least Feasible Idea: The hockey seating idea. Notable Quote: "We're in complete control over our campaign." Prior Experience: Both have worked in Zahm Hall government as section leaders and recycling and athletic commissioners. IN OUR WORDS The Best Ideas: Hockey seating; pushing for a better hockey arena; the ethics review of the Bookstore. Most Feasible: Revamping hockey seating and possibly student basketball seating as well. Least Feasible: The Bookstore would probably rather self-destruct; getting better parking for the off-campus students. Sound Bite: "Notre Dame expects us to act like adults, then treats us as less," Killen said. WHERE THEY STAND Student-Administration Relations: The ticket stands behind getting a student member of the Board of Trustees. Inner-Workings of Government: Citing Andrea Selak's example, Killen and Nebosky think the student body president and vice president should visit Hall meetings. Gender Relations: A parietals evaluation could help, according to Killen. Noting that it's unrealistic to promise complete elimination, they suggested compromising by targeting weekend parietals first. Diversity: The two support bringing the issue to the forefront. Off-Campus Students: Killen argued in favor of offering closer parking for off-campus stud,ents- perhaps even on-campus parking. What We Like: Killen and Nebosky are two nice guys with solid ideas, and they articulated them well. What We Don't Like: The duo isn't running to win- rather, they want to disseminate their ideas for the benefit of the eventual victor. - Paul Nebosky Class/Major: Kuder is a Zahm Hall junior Management information Systems major, and Priest is a Zahm junior computer engineering major. Bill IN THEIR WORDS Campaign Slogan: "NO Football Rules" Most Important Idea: Football Ticket Redistribution Plan Kuder Most Feasible Idea: Notre Dame students getting football tickets before Saint Mary's stu dents. Least Feasible Idea: "All of our ideas are based in feasibility." Notable Quote: "It's not just football, it's Notre Dame football." Prior Experience: Kuder sat on the SUB concert committee, is a Hesburgh computer lab team leader and served as Zahm's computer commissioner and the vice president of the Guitar Players' Association. - IN OuR WoRDs The Best Ideas: A satellite workout area for North Quad residents and others who dislike the trek to Holt's or the Hoc. Kuder suggested Haggar or Stepan as sites. Most Feasible: Generating stronger student support for the basketball team. Least Feasible: The convoluted and ultimately impractical football ticket idea, in which a quiz weeds out the true fans and gives them the right to line up for the best tickets. Sound Bite: "It is not our purpose to destroy Notre Dame/Saint Mary's relations." WHERE THEY STAND Student-Administration Relations: Both said they'd feel comfortable representing the administration to the students while strongly presenting student needs to the administration. Inner-Workings of Government: "Delegate, delegate, delegate." Gender Relations: Kuder and Priest explained their stance on gender relations by point ing to their idea of having Saint Mary's students buy their football tickets last. Diversity: "We like it and we think it's good." Off-Campus Students: They plan to push for free parking for students who move of cam pus. What We Like: Kuder and Priest interact well, and the satellite gym idea is savvy. What We Don't Like: "We need more things around here that everybody's talking about," ey said, but the campaign platform gives no real detail. They also seemed unwilling to con some of the logistical snags of their pet issue, football ticket redistribution. • loe Priest .... ------~'--- - ELECTION '9 9 6 Friday, February 5, 1999 Class/Major: McCormick is a sophomore biology and gender studies double major; Wahl, a freshman, is undecided but will pursue a gender studies concentration. Patrick IN THEIR WORDS Campaign Slogan: "To Infinity and Beyond" Most Important Idea: Flex points at Senior Bar McCormick Most Feasible Idea: Stepan Center discotequelliquor store Least Feasible Idea: "All our ideas are feasible." Notable Quote: "Let's Get it On," from Judge Mills Lane. Prior Experience: McCormick captained the Zahm Hall basketball B-team in 1998. Wahl was class president of Newman Catholic for 2 years. IN OUR WORDS The Best Ideas: Flex points at Senior Bar. Most Feasible: Using proceeds from the Stepan disco/liquor store to solve budget problems for the Student Union. Least Feasible: Actually putting a combination disco and liquor store in Stepan Center; ending the tradition of enrolling a certain number of "legacies." Sound Bite: "We may not be running to win, but we want to get the ideas out there" WHERE THEY STAND Student-Administration Relations: "No comment." Inner-Workings of Government: "Improvement needed." Gender Relations: "Improvement needed." Diversity: "Improvement needed - we need to make minorities not afraid to come to this university." Off-Campus Students: "Not applicable." What We Like: Their platform reads, "We feel it is time that Notre Dame finally had a woman president," a campaign promise that takes on new meaning for an all-male ticket. What We Don't Like: McCormick wasn't at all articulate, and Wahl let him do all the talking. - Brian Wahl Class/Major: Murphy is a junior finance major from Keough Hall; Palumbo is a junior gov Micah ernment major from Keenan. IN THEIR WORDS Campaign Slogan: "Bringing It All Together." Murphy Most Important Idea: "To utilize the talents. resources and ideas of the students and other clubs and organizations on campus." Most Feasible Idea: Using co-sponsorship successfully Least Feasible Idea: A campus television station Notable Quote: "As president and vice president, we see ourselves as servants of the Notre Dame community," Murphy said. Prior Experience: Murphy is the Keough president and the head of the Trident Naval - Society in the Navy ROTC battalion. He was also freshman class vice president. Palumbo is the secretary for the Student Union, the Executive Cabinet and the Campus Life Council. IN OUR WORDS The Best Ideas: The "Last Lecture" series; campuswide spirit events like midnight pan cakes in the dining halls during finals week. Most Feasible: Network for summer intern housing; most of the student services platform. Least Feasible: Establishing classes with diversity-related content (student government would have little to no say in this). Also: campus media renovations. establishing later final exam times. Sound Bite: "There's always an open-door policy on the second-floor of LaFortune." WHERE THEY STAND Student-Administration Relations: Strengthen the lines of communication; fight for what students deserve. Inner-Workings of Government: Promoting student government unity by "greasing the wheels" and fine-tuning the workings of each body. Gender Relations: Roundtable discussions; a gender relations week and mentor pro grams. Diversity: A "celebrate NO" cultural festival; interactive campus forums and panels addressing diversity issues. Off-Campus Students: Increase their awareness of what's happening on campus; work • with off-campus representatives. What We Like: Their experience; they've obviously made a commitment to student ernment. Palumbo's enthusiasm is infectious. What We Don't Like: Murphy and Palumbo have no rapport. They also seem reluctant to take risks, meaning that their tenure would be more of the same "play-it-safe" attitude we _..... Mike Palumbo saw from Cesaro/Selak. L___~~------ ELECTION '9 9 --- Friday, February 5, 1999 page 7 Class/Major: Poirier is a junior government and history double major from Zahm. Smith is a sophomore architecture, math and economics triple major. Wall)' IN THEIR WoRDs Campaign Slogan: "We're Not Stupid Any More!" Poirier Most Important Idea: A confrontation with the bookstore over the ethics of its pricing and buyback procedures. Most Feasible Idea: Keeping the main floor of LaFortune open 24 hours. Least Feasible Idea: Developing the islands that exist on St. Joseph and St. Mary's lakes (much like a similar area Saint MaryOs has on its campus). Notable Quote: "Why you get what you get?!" (Poirier, reciting words from a sign at the Bookstore that he finds offensive.) Prior Experience: Poirier is Zahm's gender relations representative in hall government; Smith is on Zahm's hall council. IN OuR WoRDs The Best Ideas: Forums for freshmen about gender and race relations; investigating the Bookstore; regular student opinion polls. Most Feasible: Better lighting around the lakes; HPC Dorm Spirit Week; 24-hour basket ball courts at the Rock. Least Feasible: A Barnes & Noble book sale/fair for Notre Dame students to ofl'er a com prehensive alternative to the Bookstore. Sound Bite: "The University needs to offer more entertainment on campus. our current choices aren't widely appealing and aren't entertaining. LaFortune Ballroom gels old quick ly." WHERE THEY STAND Student-Administration Relations: Persistence and feasibility: need proper presenta tion of ideas coupled with a willingness to fight for the students. Inner-Workings of Government: End exclusivity, so as to understand campus concerns more universally; establish broader communication. Gender Relations: Need as many men as women to participate in finding solutions for problems of this nature. Diversity: Combat ignorance early, like at freshman orientation committee. Off-Campus Students: Need to communicate the opportunities for participating in campus activities. Also, possibly student government-sponsored activities off campus. What We Like: Poirier and Smith have a lot of good ideas for improving campus activities and aesthetics. Smith is a better match for Poirier this year because his ability to articulate Grfif. himself improved. What We Don't Like: PoirierOs comfort-level with pushing the administration borders on being a hobby, and that could alienate government from the administration and impede Smith progress. Class/Major: Turski, a sophomore from Badin, majors in science-business. Robey is a Knott sophomore with a French-English double major. Cynthia IN THEIR WORDS Campaign Slogan: "Bringing Student Government to Student Level." Most Important Idea: Putting Teacher-Course Evaluations on-line. Ttirski Most Feasible Idea: Having campus-wide public forums for student government leaders. Least Feasible Idea: A separate "express" line for students at the Bookstore on home foot ball weeknnds. Notable Quote: "The Big Ten= Big Zero." Prior Experience: Turski works for the Notre Dame Council on International Business Development as the main contact for poland for the schools program. Robey is a seventh grade CCD teacher at St. Monica Church and works at bot.h campus radio stations. IN OuR WoRDs The Best Ideas: Making TCEs available online could be a useful resource for students try ing to decide between several classes or professors. Most Feasible: Campuswide forums and standardized detex hours so that the rules don't change from dorm to dorm. Least Feasible: An"express" line at the Bookstore that actually is any quicker during foot ball weekends. Sound Bite: "Student Government needs a leader who's not so caught up in Student Government-type things." WHERE THEY STAND Student-Administration Relations: They want to improve relations by encouraging faculty to eat lunch with students. Inner-Workings of Government: Less emphasis on internal conflict and more on unity; address issues that are pertinent to students. Gender Relations: The duo said more 24-hour space would facilitate student gatherings after parietals, which in turn could ease gender relations problems. Diversity: c;ive multicultural groups more space in which to meet; encourage hiring of multicultural professors. Off-Campus Students: Increase their representation in government bodies. What We Like: Turski and Hobey are two people who genuinely want the jobs and want to • serve the student body. What We Don't Like: Hobey showed signs of life when he was allowed to speak for him self in the interview (twice). But don't misunderstand- Turski did jump in on most answers, but she was not effusive. Her manner was detached and monotone. Stet hen Rooey .. ... ----~------~--.. ------~-.------.--~------~------ ELECTION '99 page 8 Friday, February 5, 1999 Class/Major: Both are juniors; White is an English major, and Hennigan is pre-med. IN THEIR WoRDs Luke Campaign Slogan: "We Love You." Most Important Idea: We should hade a club where we all get along and bake things. Most Feasible Idea: Kill the black devil swan and make his power our own. White Least Feasible Idea: Convince Father Malloy to grow a goatee. Notable Quote: "Remember, orderly transfer of power is always better than a bloody coup." Prior Experience: White is the editor-in-chief of Right Reason; Hennigan ???????? IN OUR WORDS The Best Ideas: Convert the quads into a huge amusement park called Catholicworld; establish a "if you can catch it, you can eat it" rule around campus to control the squirrel population. Most Feasible: Kill all swans and replace them with flamingoes. Least Feasible: Eliminating the graduate school "leeches"; finding protective gear for the flamingoes so they will survive the winter. Sound Bite: "The black swan is the Devil, and the white swans are his minions." WHERE THEY STAND Student-Administration Relations: White contends that only relations between stu dents married to administrators should be allowed. Inner-Workings of Government: Most student government problems can be fixed with an Allen wrench, in White's opinion. he recommends "a good quarter turn." Gender Relations: "We should make a co-ed leper dorm." Diversity: "Why does Notre Dame accept no Eskimos?" Off-Campus Students: "We love off-campus students and want to give each of them a puppy and a swan." White didn't comment on whether he'd kill the swan first. What We Like: In his song, "The Ballad of Daniel Hennigan," White played a mean guitar, and he has pretty good pitch too. His "healthy dose of surreality" was as entertaining as his campaign posters. What We Don't Like: "If you can catch it, you can eat it" works great for those squirrels (uh ... trust us) but couldn't it also give rise to cannibalism? Dan Hennigan promises.
