Candidates Continued froir can accomplish far more than an editorial battle fought on the pages of the Gamecock. Now is the time for student government to : get serious not radical because more can be accomplished when people work together rather than against each other. The other problem is not so easily solved. The cost of an education goes up with every increase in the cost of providing that increase, and this has to be realised. However, Student Government must do all that it can to insure that every other available avenue Has been exhausted before the burden falls on the students. This can be done through watchdog committees and other student awareness groups. Student Government must also find out about proposed increases at the earliest possible time, so that students will have enough time to readjust their budget. How would you rate the effectiveness of this year's Student Government and what, If anything, would you have done differently? Fink: This year's SGA has worked hard on effecting changes and setting up policies that they believe will better the students' status nere ai scnooi. ine prooiems 01 noncommunication, apathy, and lack of total student representation have had their effects on our present SGA administration though, and that handicap and a lack of action at strategic moments over the year have overshadowed all the efforts and achievments of the present SGA administration. The answers to the problems facing today's SGA can be found in the previous question, and you have my assurance that I will make those my highest priority.

Iih i page 4 German: The main problems of this year's Student Government are those of other past administrations. They came into office last year promising specific reforms such as attendance policy reform or better Senate attendance but have fallen short. That is why I am not saying 1 will guarantee specifics because I can't and neither can any other candidate. I can promise, however, that wherever students can have input to the decision making process, they will. Students will always be on the "cutting edge" of action taken at the university. II A- ~ ? A.'

I .. parking problems, etc., but cannot work .. miracles and students should be aware of how cc far this influence can go. The effectiveness of the present student administration, I believe, ^ was hindered because so many students ex- ^ pected too much. Change does not occur in a ^ day. Or even a year. A consistent Student ^ Government, one with "guts," stamina, patience and energy can change things over ^ time. I cannot judge the present administra- ^ tion simply because I do not know enough about it. My objective, as a candidate, is to jt become informed, but my objective as a student body president is to.inform. ! Snell: Subdued. SG did not represent SF students as it should have, cnuld havp nnrl *c would have, had I been in office. I would w have demanded facrt and offered alternatives to cost increases. ec Washington: Student Government has ^ been moderately effective in the area of providing minor student services. However,it . has failed in the all-important area of student ^ participation. Far too often I hear that Stu- . dent Government is doing nothing. This is . not entirely the case, it has simply failed to ^ envelope and or inform the student body of it . ' activities. There are students sti on this campus who do not even know where the Student Government office is located. , ^ This is a sad but true fact, that has resulted ' t w simply because the SG president didn't effec- ^ tively take the Student Government to the ? people.
