Presidential Hopefuls Speak Out
Each spring the undergraduate community must decided who its
official student representative will be. The Undergraduate Student
Association Council (USAC) president has a constituency of over
22,000. This year Martin Chippas, Stacy Lee and Benjamin Geer have
stepped forward to submit their ideas to the campus community. In
the first election of the post Students First! era, many watchers
of campus politics are interested in what direction USAC will know
take. Will USAC
continue down the path of increased grassroots activism, or will
it take a more non-partisan role as some have urged? Ultimately,
the decision will be made at the ballot box. Viewpoint has
assembled three of the four presidential candidates (the fourth,
Chris Ihara, was unavailable for comment) to discuss their goals
for the future direction of student government.Martin Chippas
