Senate seat picks
2007 ASUO endorsements
by Emerald Editorial Board |
PUBLISHED ON 4/16/07 IN Commentary
- Experience as the residence hall association president.
Senate Seat 3
Shalan Ryan: She wants to emphasize accountability and education, the two main planks of her slate's platform. Her slate is Pac-8.
- Wants to educate students about the ASUO by holding regular workshops. She believes this would promote openness.
In her interview with the Emerald, Ryan said she couldn't say whether she would change stipends, and said she would have to wait to see what the politics are like next year in order to make a decision. This suggests she is impressionable and could stay especially beholden to her slate.
Recommendation - Neil Brown: As an ASUO outsider, Brown is surprisingly knowledgeable about student government, including the realities of his position.
- Emphasizes accountability in the budget process.
- Correctly believes the ASUO can be a "bubble." Brown's presence may burst this bubble.
Senate Seat 14
Recommendation - Kate Jones: Like Brown, Katie Jones is well informed for someone with limited experience within the ASUO. As a 20-year-old law student, Jones has shown she has drive and ambition.
- Important to have more law students in student government in order to bridge the divide between the law school and the campus at large.
- She wants to make improvements to the EMU, to make it more "green" and energy efficient and less of a financial drain.
Oscar Guerra: Oscar Guerra is an extremely capable and knowledgeable leader, but his Pac-8 positions are vague.
- Guerra wants to promote greater student participation in the Diversity Plan process and make the ASUO more accountable.
Senate Seat 6
Recommendation - Samantha Brodey: This recommendation was difficult, as both candidates repeated their slates' talking points in a near-verbatim fashion. Brodey, however, proved to be more knowledgeable.
- Wants to implement the EMU Master Plan.
