CABINET continued from page 1
Students interested in position;
must fill out an application. Applica
tions are reviewed by the president
and the applicants are interviewed
"Some applicants were applying fo
specific Cabinet positions, but some
times I placed them where I though
they would do a good job," Dickersoi
said.
According to Dickerson, students
applying for Cabinet don't necessarily
have to have SG experience, "but some
Cabinet members [do]."
The Cabinet is approved by the stu
dent senate.
According to Dickerson, it's the Cab
inet's job to help the president accom
plish his or her platform. This year, th<
Cabinet also formed a committee t(
bring the SEC Student Governmem
Conference to USC and helped orga

Husser said he plans to choose Cabinet
positions through an application
process.
If elected, he wants his Cabinet to
"compare to this year's Cabinet and
maybe be better."
Dickerson said that, although
promising Cabinet positions to people
has "surely" happened in the past, she
doesn't think it has happened this year.
Shah said candidates shouldn't
promise Cabinet positions before being
elected.
"I don't think you should make
promises unless you know for sure you
can keep them," Shah said.
Husser said promising Cabinet positions
before elections is "up to the individual."
He said it's fine if a candidate
can "guarantee victory."
"You have to remember, promises
may come back to haunt you," Husser
said.
Dorsel declined comment on the
ethics of promising positions before elections.
