Candidates -Fron Page 1 Singh said the University needs to reduce the $100 dorm deposit. He also said the prices at the Russell House Cafeteria need to be studied. "Other schools can operate on a $25 deposit, why can't USC?" He asked. "Our students are not any more financially well-off than any other universitys." Singh, however, would not take a stand for a $25 deposit. Instead, he said he would work with housing officials to formulate a lower and more reasonable deposit fee. Singh cited the prices in the Russell House Cafeteria as another University failure. "I will use my knowledge of statistics to run a survey to Let's make Carolin EFLi FOR PRE Captain Zero for President (write-in vote) FRE NI NIT] DII Masters Ca a universit F] unveil plati determine if prices are too high," he said. "If it (the study) shows prices are significantly higher, I will put it on the desk of Don Hottel (Russell House Cafeteria manager)." Singh concluded, "I will try to bring all the campus closer together--foreign, black, white and married students." r4elton Parris, a chemistry major, is the candidate of the American Bison Party. The general conditions of University life stimulated Parris to carry the American Bison Party banner this year. "If students speak out loud enough things will get done," Parris said.

Froms having open meetings--they (students) would find out a lot of things they don't know," he said. "You have got to show students you're willing to go to bat for them," he said. Through petitions, the students could get more of what they want, he said. Parris added, "I think the Board of Trustees would roll over and die if they got a petition with 20,000 names on it. I think they would pass it (an issue) then." He said problems such as housing and parking were created by a lack of com munication. Parris would use hall advisors to channel in formation to students and ease communication problems. "The SGA can serve as a voice for the student populous," he said. Parris concluded with the American Bison Party's philosophy: "Let the chips fall where they may, we'll give the students what they want."

A lack of action from past presidents caused Rayford to seek the presidency, he said. "The issues are the same to me as they were the last couple of years. These issues will be the same until someone can do something about them," Rayford said. Therefore, "the main issue is unity between the student body and the student government." Through student forums sponsored by the Student Senate this unity can be achieved, he said. But Rayford is unsure of the exact nature of these forums. "Feedback is the main -point of my campaign," Rayborn con cluded.
