week. Transcripts are edited for
space, clarity, grammar and libel.
Tamir Kriegel is a senior major
ing in English.
||« What’s your platform?
A»My platform is actually going
• to serve as a platform for other
people to stand on as an alterna
tive to get themselves elected.
Q« What do you consider to be the
«two most pressing issues at the
University?
A*Mass tyranny and lack of a
•good, cheap alternative to Sub
way at the EMU.
Q»How do you plan to deal with
■■those issues?
A-I don’t. If 1 am elected, I am go
«ing to retire the day I am elect
ed and leave it as one big, vacant
nothingness. If anything, I am go
ing to be the only one who follows
through with what I promised to
get done because I am not going to
do anything. I am going to leave; I
am going to be graduating. It will
be a big farce. But I will appoint a
vice-president before I leave, and
then that person will be president.
And being that no one knew about
the deadline to apply, I think it
will be more publicized and will
probably be a better pool of appli
cants for the presidency that I ap
point over the presidency that the
student body is supposed to vote
for but doesn’t because they don’t
get a proper pool of applicants,
and they just don’t vote.
Q«What are the weaknesses of
.the University?
A .See, it is more like a Mad Lib
•game because the question
should be, “The weaknesses of the
University are,” and then there
should be a blank to insert your
own weakness because the weak
nesses are overwhelming, and the
student government is at the top of
the list.
Sf.What are the strengths of the
If.University?
A .The Oregon Commentator —
.and there are a few good Eng
lish professors. (University Presi
dent) Dave Frohnmayer seems to
be on point every once in a while.
The men’s basketball team did a
pretty good job this year; I was
proud of them.
Q«What experience do you have
•that makes you a good candi
date for ASUO president?
A«I was the Emerald-endorsed
• candidate for president last
year. I was the guy who was sup
posed to win last year. I was en
dorsed by the Emerald, and the
Emerald endorsed me. Another
good point is I was endorsed. 1 am
probably the most qualified per
son to run for this position, but if I
win, I am going to retire. Voting for
me is like voting for none of the
above.
Q» Why did you chose not to have
• a running mate?
A»I want to be able to leave that
•option open for when I retire
and appoint the new president of
theASUO.
Q»What would be your goals as
• ASUO president?
J|»To retire.
Q»What sets you apart from the
•other 10 presidential candi
dates?
A«I am looking to retire as soon as
• I win. I like sandwiches, and 1
want a sandwich alternative. I
thought the men’s basketball team
was strong, but they could have
used the help of the five players
that left. I am the only candidate to
he endorsed by the Emerald as of
yet. Also my hair is larger, curlier
and fuller than all the other candi
dates.
Bostic’s focus includes bettering computer technology at UO
By Sarah Skidmore
Oregon Daily Emerald
Nick Bostic is a freshman and is
undeclared.
j|*What’s your platform?
A "Basically I’m just trying to get
•rid of some of the current cor
ruption and fix the problems.
There are, like, two things I want
to fix. Duck Call is one, at other
schools they can register for class
es online, and we should be able
to do that here. We are supposed
to be advanced in computers.
Also, make sure all the campaign
ing goes according to the rules.
|)»What do you consider to be
If «the two most pressing issues
at the University?
*«Freshman life because there
»are lots of problems with it —
and this whole OSPIRG thing.
Q»How do you plan to deal with
•those issues?
J|»I would like to make what is
H.going on in the dorms and for
freshmen known to more people
because all the freshmen know
and everybody complains, but
nothing gets done. Also, I plan to
continue to do my most to make
sure OSPIRG doesn't get re-estab
lished.
H»What are the weaknesses of
l|«the University?
A»|University President) Dave
•Frohnmayer does not teach
enough classes. I had him last
term, and he is a great teacher, but
he teaches like one class a year.
(( Basically, I 'm just
trying to get rid of some
Jo the current corruption
and fix the problems. ^
Nick Bostic
ASUO Executive candidate
The computer science depart
ment — big time. I was a comput
er science major, and they are be
hind the times. I think that
probably, from what I have heard
from other people, the curriculum
is about three years behind the
times; it is not current enough.
0«What are the strengths of the
•University?
a-It is a great place; it is a great
• location. You can get help in
your classes, and outside of class
es there are lots of opportunities.
We have got scuba and trampo
line; it is great. There are just so
many opportunities.
Q*What experience do you have
• that makes you a good candi
date for ASUO president?
A .Throughout high school, I
•wasn’t student body president
or anything, hut I was in the band,
and I was kind of a leader there,
and I was on sports teams, and I
was captain of those. I have kind
of had leadership positions since I
have been here, and I took Dave
Frohnmayer’s Theories of Leader
ship class last term, so I know
what it takes to be a good leader,
and I am on staff at The Commen
tator, so I know how to get stuff
done and pull the right strings.
QsWhy did you chose not to
•have a running mate?
A •Actually 1 do have a running
• mate, but that person has yet
to be named. I do know who that
person is, but it is going to be kind
of a surprise later on.
Q«What would be your goals as
•ASUO president?
A*To stop corruption and fix
• those problems I mentioned
earlier.
f|• What sets you apart from the
|§»other 10 presidential candi
dates?
A«My dazzling charm and stun
• ning intellect.
