The tickets are Melissa Whelan/Melissa Peters and Mary Beth Wilkinson/Lynn O'Donnell. They also discussed building stronger internal and external relations through faculty and almunae links with students, as well as inter-campus activities. The debates were held last night in Haggar Parlor. A large concern for many students has been the question of an increase in student activities fees. Whelan and Peters said that they favor an increase in fees, although not as high as proposed. Whelan says it depends on student feeling about the increase. She hopes to appeal to the College for more funding as well. Wilkinson states, too, that it is something "the students need to vote on". She would favor an increase from the current 20 dollars to become 75 dollars. With this money, she would promote more cultural events, including bands, as well as The Observer/Jake Peters work to make Dalloway's a full-time paid My hero! student-run coffeehouse.
