Pinckney claims diversified ticket By Paul Apfelbeck Of the Kmerald “We’re in an unprecedented position,” says Lynn Pinckney, ASUO presidential candidate. “We're being supported by the SPA (Students for a Progressive Agenda) and the Greeks, as well as the law school.” Pinckney's platform of con tinued affirmative action, divestiture of State System of Higher Education funds in South Africa, increased security for women on campus, streamlined student govern ment and what she calls a “liberal agenda” has found support from a broad spectrum of student groups. Lynn Pinckney and John Dreeszen The focus of her agenda is in creased student involvement in University government, Pin ckney says. Her running mate, John Dreeszen, says bringing different students together is at the core of their campaign. “For us it’s a matter of princi ple to show that people from diverse groups can work together,” Dreeszen says. Diversity and teamwork are the crucial elements on a ticket that pairs Pinckney, a second year law student and co-director of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance, with Dreeszen, a graduate adviser to the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity and a first-year MBA student. The differences between Pin ckney and Dreeszen symbolize the diversity they say they would achieve. Communication, addition part of Saunders’ platform By Mary Lichtenwalner Or the Emerald Listening to students’ needs with a "big ear," and represen ting those students, is what ASUO presidential candidate Todd Saunders says is the main thrust in his campaign. Saunders' platform is based more on "positive addition" than change, he says. Those ad ditions include a strengthening of communication between ad ministration and students. Saunders. ASUO assistant coor dinator of events, says the com munication issue was raised during the recent conversion of the Alder Street tennis courts into a parking lot. Saunders says he plans to work closely with the ad ministration in the future, and says he is confident that tennis players will be back on the courts by June, with an alter native parking option in place.

That problem is the lack of communication between the ad ministration and the ASUO committees. The solution, he says, is to improve communica tion between committee officers and the ASUO. “It’s better to act than to react,” he says. The ASUO exerts pressure through organizing rallies, Saunders says. “That’s the way to act when the administration doesn't listen.” Students need a voice in the University Health Center’s budget as well, Saunders says, explaining that the Student Health Advisory Committee's $2.5 million budget is funded entirely by student dollars. Recently, Saunders received approval from Dan Williams, University vice-president of ad ministration, to form a student committee to vote on the Health Center budget. A ballot measure for the committee will be in cluded in the ASUO general election. So far, he says, students have spoken in favor of forming the committee. “So many students have told me it's the most positive change on this campus this year,” Saunders says. Todd Saunders fj Saunders says he plans to act upon improving the quality of teaching by graduate teaching fellows at the University if elected. He would propose of fering a campus workshop through the Graduate Teaching Fellow Federation. Saunders says ASUO ac cessibility to students and cam pus groups is a primary concern in his campaign.
