Full Story CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 decide which classes to take. “I’ve taken too many classes where I just have no business be ing there because it’s so hard for me,” Bristow said. As part of an effort to make sure he can implement his platform, Bristow said he would try to get parts of it passed by Student Senate before the term begins. Bristow said he anticipated some opposition in trying to get his platform approved before the elec tions ended. But he said all sena tors should be looking out for stu dents. “If they’re not working for the best interests of the students, they shouldn’t be on Senate anyway,” Bristow said. Bristow said he also supports a possible compromise on the drop date for classes that would ensure that all students could attend at least one class session before drop ping the class and earning a “W.” That would require moving the drop date one day, he said. “We don’t have a chance of mov ing it more,” Bristow said. “What we can do is get that one day to al low every class to meet.” Bristow said the reason stu dents should elect him is his expe rience, as well as the fact that other SG members have turned their backs on the student body. “I have the best sense of what students need and want and I think that Student Government’s forgot ten about them,” he said.

White CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “The advisers aren’t advising; they’re directing; they’re manag ing,” White said. And he said students “aren’t allowed to run their own organi zations.” White said he was disappoint ed that he didn’t participate in the debate, though he said Hark had decided to allow him to do so. White said he didn’t want to in terrupt the debate and said doing so would have been unfair to Bourne. He said he hoped the adminis tration wouldn’t interfere with CSJC’s decision. “This is a student affair,” White said. “This is a Student Government election.” The meeting will be held on the first floor conference room at 8:30 p.m. at 900 Assembly St. Comments on this story?

I recommend it to anyone col lege age, but... it is made up of borrowed power,” Moore said. Moore then “stumbled” across George Washington University, where she said she did not know a single concept in the business area but wanted to try it because it sounded very general. It was there where she acquired an MBA in in ternational finance—although she did note that she has not once since then stepped out of the U.S. in terms of domestic economy. During the mid 1980s, Moore wanted to be part of the leverage finance business because it was “where it was happening.” But it even though it was dominated • by white males, Moore took a chance. Moore took a blank desk without any glamour, and start ed off fresh, begging to design a business. Her idea was to build a business for companies in trouble, or what she personally calls “bruised companies”. The keys to making her business successful were refined prod ucts, and building a well-devel oped team. “No one had a business like I did,” Moore 9aid, “ Suddenly we came out in sunshine and became the most visible com pany in the country. My com pany was well trained ... and I put myself out there.” About 30 students attended Moore’s talk. “Aren’t there 26,000 undergraduate students who go to this school? Well, where the hell are they?” Moore said.

Teresa Brazell, a second-year international studies major, was pleased with the debate. “It was really good. They asked a lot of good questions,” she said. “There were some that weren’t really relevant, like what’s the best thing you’ve done for your moth er, but other than that they brought up some good issues and they had some good ideas.” Stella Mezinis, third-year broadcast journalism major, was critical of the debate. “I think other issues got over looked,” she said. “Perhaps how we’re going to bring in more stu dents for enrollment if there is a need for that.” Comments on this story?
