'SERIOUS... NOT BEING SERIOUS'
Presidential Candidates Give Speeches in SU
uy Bill ourney
Emerald Managing Editor
Two serious contenders for student body president and
one who's “serious about not being serious" told why they
wanted the job Tuesday at a coffee hour forum in the
Student Union. Candidates for other offices were intro
duced.
The latest entry into the race, Bob Funk of the Peon
party, said he was running:
(1) Chiefly as a joke.
(2) “Because I’m serious about not being serious . . .
there’s too much seriousness in campus politics ... I
don't favor sound trucks before breakfast ... I think
there’s something innately immodest about staying up
nights worrying about votes.”
Don Collin, UIS aspirant, said: “I am worried about
votes, because it takes votes to win.”
He listed two reasons for running:
(1) He would be a good representative of the ASUO
to the outside world.
(2) Through two years in student government, he has
seen the need for continuity and bringing of issues to
“good honest conclusions.” He feels students should know
more about ASUO functions and would work through
publicity and talks in living organizations to create in
terest. “We don’t promote ourselves enough. Students
don t realize that student government handles such big
affairs as Dad’s Day and Duck Preview.”
Collin sai<J student government must sell to the faculty
the idea that students can handle more responsibility.
This is hard, he said, because students are here only four
years, and while here they lack enough time to handle
bigger governing jobs properly. •
Tom Wrightson, AGS nominee, said:
“I m running primarily because of experience in stu
dent government, and a desire for the position of ASUO
president.
Both party platforms favor the same general things—
such as a library file, and a Northwest Conference of
Collegiate Leaders, Wrightson said.
Wrightson said he also would fulfill capably the public
relations function of the president. “That reminds me,” he
said, “of a story Lyle Nelson told about Pat Dignan being
a poor public relations man because he's engaged and
didn’t even meet Groucho Marx’s daughter.
The highlights of candidates answers to questions from
the floor and moderator Karl Harshbarger were:
On relations between SU board and the ASUO, Collin
and Wrightson both said they could be improved, that
there was no reason for friction. (Funk left before the
question period for his Peon-type job as an Alpha Phi
houseboy.)
Both said they would aid IFC in working for fall term,
rushing.
Collin explained the UIS platform plank on the need
for better foreign student orientation and counseling
by the University. He said inadequate counseling has
caused “ill feeling” among foreign students.
Both candidates agreed that the Student Affairs com
mittee should retain the function of granting or withhold
ing campus recognition to such groups as NAACP. They
both said the senate and the committee should work more
closely together, however.
On the question: “What would you do if your party
wanted a policy you didn't think was in the best interests
of the student body?”
Collin: “I’d talk them into my policy.”
Wrightson: “In practice the party platform and the
president are usually in agreement on most issues, so that
usually isn't the real problem.”
