David Gibson and Mary Hotchkiss, two ASUO presidential candidates, spoke before the
Panhellenic and Interfraternity councils yesterday. The councils backed Gibson.
Councils back ASUO hopeful
By Richard Burr
Of the Emerald
The Interfraternity and Panhellenic coun
cils Monday unanimously endorsed David Gib
son of Sigma Nu fraternity for ASUO president.
The endorsement followed an hour-long
debate and question-and-answer session
before an audience of 40 people. The fraternity
and sorority councils sponsored the debate
between Gibson and Mary Hotchkiss, ASUO
presidential candidate for the Students for a
Progressive Agenda.
Hotchkiss criticized the Balfe administra
tion for “poor outreach” to the student body.
She said her administration would conduct
polls to determine student
opinions on issues.
"Surveys are the only
way to improve communica
tion and make oppor
tunities available to
students," she said.
“It's not the fault of students that they
don’t know where Suite 4 is," Hotchkiss added.
Gibson said he also would conduct polls
on certain student issues.
If a poll has a strong student response,
Gibson said he would not go against the
students’ wishes. Such a practice is not the
policy of the SPA platform, which advocates
' cutting the athletic department 10 percent even
i if students want the funding level to remain the
( same, he said.
An audience member asked whether Gib
' son would eliminate minority student programs
if a poll advocated such action. On such a
“touchy subject," the action would be discuss
ed at seminars before minoiity programs would
be cut, he said.
“In this day and age you can't just cut out
minority programs,” Gibson said. He later
clarified his previous statements, saying stu
dent surveys on programs would be advisory.
Hotchkiss said students would be
surveyed on how much funding the athletic
department should receive. Students are
"pressured" by high incidental fees, much of
which is caused by funding the athletic depart
ment, she said.
Gibson also said he would conduct a stu
dent survey on the athletic department.
But he did not criticize how much the
department receives. The athletic department
has been cut $145,000 the past two years, and
the amount of student fees the department col
lects declines correspondingly when enroll
ment decreases, Gibson added.
Hotchkiss would formulate long-range
goals and depend on her staff for information.
Long-range goals have been missing from past
ASUO administrations, she said.
“The important quality of a president is not
to be a bureaucrat, but to be capable of
translating information into goals and policy,”
‘We can hit the ground
running,’ said Gibson.
‘We don’t need training.’
Hotchkiss said.
Gibson emphasized
his experience and that of
his vice-presidential runn
ing mate Sheila Schain. He
is ASUO vice president for
administration and finance,
a former Incidental Fee committee memoer
and a former EMU budget committee, and
Schain is ASUO budget director and a former
IFC member.
Hotchkiss is chairer of the EMU budget
committee and was president of the Amazon
Childcare Center, an ASUO-funded program
Kevin Kouns, her running mate, is an ASUO
comptroller and a former program director.
“We can hit the ground running,” Gibson
said. "We don't need a three-month training
period. We can implement our programs star
ting June 1."
The ASUO would sponsor a major sym
posium on an issue every term during her ad
minstration, Hotchkiss said.
"We are committed to the idea that
democracy has to take place responsibly,” she
said.
Gibson said because of an investment
plan he is working on, next year’s student
government probably will have $6,000 available
that would be used to hold a major conference.
The ASUO also will sponsor several small
speaker events, he said.
The ASUO is sponsoring another presiden
tial debate Monday at 3:30 p.m. in EMU Rm. 167.
