election! Joe Drawdy Candidate Joe Drawdy is concerned about com niuiiivaviuii uciwixn ovjranu the student body, SG and the USC Board of Trustees, and the vice-president and the student senate. "SG is extremely limited in what they can do because a lot of bills must be approved by the Board of Trustees, and this is a handicap," Drawdy said. The vicepresident must be able to persuade the board if he thinks legislation is necessary to the student body as a whole." Drawdy has begun to open the lines of communication with the board already by calling and talking to several members. "I would like to get to know all of them personnally, and this would definitely help SG," he said. To improve relations with student^ Drawdy wants to set up a committee which would take complaints and suggestions from students, study them and refer them to the senate..

A rising junior majoring in computer science and political science, Hungate plans if elected to work to see that the new academic calendar is changed. "Different things need to be added, such as a longer spring break for the students and certainly for the fall semester not to start until after Labor Day. The new calendar will mess up the student's summer employment," he said. & icouiivijr a ai iicxiiidiidi tan of the senate and a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon, Hungate feels that he has done a lot for L the students, but could do r more as vice president "The only prescribed duty | of the vice president is to show | up at the senate, but I plan to St use the office to accomplish a ?llungate had the new pickup location approved through the athletic department, university union and the office of student affairs. j Hungate would also like to ( see the new housing contract administered by the housing office.

Andy Harley Andy Harley, a candidate for vice president, said that the student senate is the area he plans to make the most changes in, if he is elected. A rising junior history major, Harley said, "The senate seems to be a selfservicing body, more intent on self-glorification. Last week Sen. Hungate introduced a bill which would award each I senator with a certificate of \chievement or appreciation | for a job well done.

"Our present senate doesn't seem very concerned with student response, and seems to discourage it rather than encourage it," he said, j "Gerald Mosley was a good administrator and h&ndled senate well,but he did not always lead the senate in the right direction. I'd like to control senate a little more. There are too many outbursts during senate meetings and too much arguing about the constitutionality of proceedings." Harlev said. "Mv onlv qualification is the fact that I'm a student and I'll try to carry out reforms that are badly needed. "I don't claim to know all the answere, and any candidate who does is ludicrous. I know I have a lot to learn, but I'm willing." -N 5 *>y i indgren litor tsterling aff Writer
