Allen sr;ri he would like to install change machines in dorm laundry are^s and in the canteen areas, such as Gambrell Hall and the B.A. building. This would be out of convenience and necessity purposes, since those students living in the quads have to walk over to Russell House for change. Allen said new programs administrated by the Student Government need to be perfected and refined. "I am in public relations. I am a communication specialist with fresh ideas," Doug Baker said.

Baker said there is a lack of communication and information between the Student Government and the students of USC. He wants to "create awareness through concern." Baker said the Student Government officers now and those running for office are not trained communicators. Baker's reasoning is that you can't wait for communication to come to you, but you have to go get it and then deliver it. In Baker's campaign, communication comes first and politics comes second. He said he is a liberal with responsibility. "An elected official must finance many things without overspending the students' money, and I feel I am responsible enough to do that," said Baker. Concerning parking, Baker wants to poll incoming freshman and get their reaction to a seniority system he wants to propose. This system will restrict freshmen to parking in the perimeter places around campus. This will create more spaces for them the next year and for the upperclassmen at present.

Academically, Baker agrees with the crackdown on higher grades for students already in USC andtougher standardsfor incoming freshmen. In some colleges the GPR is rising from a 2.0 to a 2.5 and incoming freshmen will have to have higher SAT scores. "This will make a better USC for all of us," said Baker. One thing Baker said he doesn't agree with though, is a rumor coming from the Registrar's office that students will be given little or no chance to change their majors in the future. "We will go through all channels necessary to fight that. There is a need for self-fulfillment that can't be denied," said Baker. When the stadium is completed there will be a seat for every full-time student at USC and Baker hopes this will encourage block seating. He proposes a program that will allow block seating for everyone on a rotating basis. In Baker's plan, dorms and organizations will be in blocks, so that students can sit with their friends. Baker said he hopes this will cut down on long lines at the Russell House and be more convenient. ? 1 ? * Campaigning on an experience, energy, anu eiiuiuaidsiu, platform is Ellen Treanor, a junior, majoring in the humanities and social sciences field.

Treanor said she wants to create more leadership positions to get students more involved in the Student Government. To expand these positions Treanor wants to establish class officers. "This program will involve four officers from the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior classes. This will bring new responsibility into the Student Government by unifying each class with the Student Government," said Treanor. Treanor is in the process of researching other schools wnere tnis program is in eitect. rurman and tne university of Minnesota both use class officers in their student governments and this gives us a chance to study this program at a small and a large school and come up with one feasible to USC, " said Treanor. Groupseating is also on Treanor's platform. "Groupseating is being used at basketball games now and is a success," said Treanor. "It should be just as successful at football games." Treanor said she wants to implement new ideas in the book-exchange program. She wants to put up tables where the students are, not just in the basement of the Russell House. "At tables in the journalism school and the science center, for example, students will file cards with the name of l-v /\ I r m/J f Urvi f r\n Krvr Cf i i/^nnf c non tKnn nidi UUUN, II1CI1 lldiuc, U11U LI1C11 I1U1UUC1 .

Treanor said she would like to get the course guide out before the computer assisted registration for next fall. She said it will make" drop-add a lot easier and smooth out the process of "hoosing classes.
