A student representative should be
acti\ oI\ involved in student affairs
with a sincere concern for student
rights. I am on staff at the Women's
(’enter on campus; through this I have
had the opportunity to network with
other student groups and become
aware of mans prev alent student
matters. I have a double major in
Geography and International Studies,
and am concerned with environmental
issues. I also work at the I’sslmger
equipment room where I come in
contact with a large number of our
diverse student population. Through
volunteering at III I’and interning with
Chicano Affairs, my know ledge ol
under represented students on campus
has broadened.
I feel there is a communication gap
between the I diversity administration
and students. \S ith respect and coop
eralion, ASI’A( can make a difference
for students by getting our concerns in
legrated into the administration’s
agenda. All student concerns deserve
to be heard and we all have a responsi
bilitv to strengthen the voice of the stu
dents. Voting for a progressive camli
dale is a positive step. \ ote Megan
Cogswell for ASPAC (Associated
Student’s Presidential Advisory Conn
cil) and let your voice be heard.

With so man) concerns in today s
society we are all being pulled in
various directions. I see ASPA( with
so much potential to change the prob
lems that lace us as students today.
We all have one thing in common, the
search for higher knowledge as well as
an understanding of the world we live
in. Only with vast channels of commu
nication will vvc be able to understand
each other's concerns. I want to be
that route for students.
My varied interests keep me in
formed on most issues and involved
w ith making things happen. I am a
v ery approachable anti open minded
person w ith concerns in many areas
and feel everyone’s suggestions and
opinions should bo heard. I want to
listen to anyone w ith any concern they
mas base, no matter boss big or small
I am dedicated to change and ass arc
ness ot issues that apply to us as
students as well as the younger genera
lion. I believe that the President
should he aware ot these issues. I be
future belongs to us. Change will only
occur it we make it happen I can
show you how much change we can do

As a board member, I would stork

do? Do you know? Do you care?
Il is ms goal to make-people
care about vs hat the I Ml Board does
Ms main goal as an IMl
Board Member is to gam more student
control over the IMl I he IMl is
supposed to lx1 a student union but I
have found that in the past two years
there are more conferences and con
ventions for people not ot the l 'Diver
sity while student groups often get
overlooked or given less priority, l or
the past two years I have worked in the
ASl () (one as an intern, and one as the
Publications Coordinator). With this
experience, I feel I have gained knowl
edge necessary to understand the red
tape that must be overcome when
dealing with the 1 Diversity and Stu
dent government.
I would support banning
smoking in the IMl
Affirmative Action recruitment
in the IMl as well as IMl Board
control ot what it sells to students are
the two issues I want to affect most.
