Presidential Hopefuls Speak Out

Each spring the undergraduate community must decided who its official student representative will be. The Undergraduate Student Association Council (USAC) president has a constituency of over 22,000. This year Martin Chippas, Stacy Lee and Benjamin Geer have stepped forward to submit their ideas to the campus community. In the first election of the post Students First! era, many watchers of campus politics are interested in what direction USAC will know take. Will USAC

continue down the path of increased grassroots activism, or will it take a more non-partisan role as some have urged? Ultimately, the decision will be made at the ballot box. Viewpoint has assembled three of the four presidential candidates (the fourth, Chris Ihara, was unavailable for comment) to discuss their goals for the future direction of student government.Martin Chippas
