Candidates Speak
As Elections Near
By STEFANI NICOLETTI
C©w Editor
The group of students campaign-ing
this week for positions as cam-pus
lead ers, for next year, are leav-ing
no doubt that the future of
UNC-G will be in good hands come
fall 1983.
Because many students may not
be fam .liar with all of the can-didates
Tht Carofinianhas con-ducted
interviews with each in-dividual
- to meet the person
behind the platform.
All candidates, regardless of in-tended
office, were asked the same
basic questions and allowed to res-pond
freely.
!SG PRESIDENT
JOEY KATZENSTEIN
I've been working with SG all
year in the executive cabinet and I
feel I've, in a sense, been trained for
the position in such a way that I've
been exposed to the administration
and students in the capacity of a
very tense working situation all
year, trying to get the credibility of
SG restored. Being in daily contact
with the administration and with
the Htudents I feel like I've been
able 'co grow into it. 1 feel it's going
to be a very natural progression if
I'm ,<iven the opportunity.
Our biggest issue (in the Task
Force) is that we are having SG
completely re-evaluated through a
mandate with Chancelor Moran.
We found that SG is not represen
tative of the students of UNC-G -
that, it represents a very small part.
I'd also like to see SG become more
accessible on a fuller realm with the
students.
I would like to continue the good
Sir-grams that have been started by
G and continue to maintain the
credibility that Sybil (Mann) and
Jo n (Hensley) have built into SG.
BOB HUGHES
I've participated in a lot of
student-oriented activities and at-tended
a whole lot of organizations'
meetings. It's pretty much that the
things I get involved in I try and
stick with and do well in. I would
definitely put a lot of time into the
presidency.
I got involved with the Com-muting
Students Association quite
heavily and, through that, we've
worked with SG a lot. I feel like I
could do a lot more in other areas
than just through CSA. We have a
lot of interaction with SG.
The biggest issue in this campaign
is the image of SG. It's got to have
a good image. I would like to see a
lot of people vote, see a lot of peo-ple
participate.
The Black Studies program needs
to be pushed a little bit further.
They've had it proposed for three
years and there hasn't really been
anything done with it.
The RHA. if we can get that off
the ground and get it to work, that
definitely will get people's participa-tion
up. One of the first rules of
management is, if you get people to
participate in something, they'll
have a vested interest; and if
they've got an interest in
something, they'll participate and
the school will grow.
As far as changes I'd make, SG
right now needs to be streamlined,
a lot of the fat needs to be cut out.
Once you do that, you're more ac-cessible
to the students. Right now
they go into Senate or somewhere
else and they get really frustrated.
It's important that SG be their
representative.
If I know that a lot of students are
concerned about an issue, that issue
should be settled and not passed on.
SG has got to be the represen-tative
of all students. It's got to
represent the diversity of the
students. It can't be a little
Although it's been hard to figure out the weather lately, with mow, warm temperatures and rain com-ing
on consecutive days, these four students were able to enjoy a few moments of sunshine recently
in front of Jackson Library.
SG Gives WUAG
Console Grant
Tuesday night, Senate ap-propriated
$5,000 for WUAG in
order for the radio station to ob-tain
a new Audio Consol. The
move to appropriate the money
came after little debate.
WUAG spokesman Neil Matson
said that they needed the new
board because the one they have
now is outdated.
"It's 11 years old and it's getting
extremely difficult to get
replacement parts." Matson said.
"I think that Senate demonstrated
that they can work effectively for
the students they represent. It will
help the overall sound of the radio
station for years to come," he ad-ded.
The new console's cost is $5,600,
hut WUAG has the additional $600
in it's repair budget that can be
transferred to pay for the board.
The present board was obtained
in 1972. and staff members at
WUAG said that is when they
became 89 FM.
Members of WUAG said that
they hoped the new console will be
installed as soon as possible, but it
may have to be delayed until
WUAG has completed its move to
the basement of Taylor Theatre.
egotistical battleground where per-sonal
conflicts come into play.
KIM THERIAULT
I'm the only candidate with ex-perience
in both branches of SG.
legislative and executive. I've got-ten
experience in knowing how the
legislative process goes. I have
more experience with all areas with
which the executive branch deals.
Race relations is a hot issue right
now. I think blacks and whites are
going to look for a candidate that is
not going to just play and talk the
role. We need somebody who has
proved that they can get things
done and not just sit there and let
someone else take care of it.
SG should serve as a mediator
between all of the organizations and
make sure they are offering things

TAU KAPPA EPSILON donated
their time and energy to the 2nd an-nual
TKE KEG ROLL for St.
Jude's Children's Research Hospital
located in Memphis, Tennessee. The
hospital, founded by TKE alumni
and entertainer Danny Thomas, is
the philanthropy of TKE. Interna-tional.
At seven o'clock, Saturday
morning, 35 brothers and little
sisters of the fraternity left from
Greensboro with the theme "TKE
Tackles the Triad" in mind-running
while pushing a keg from
Greensboro, to Winston-Salem to
High Point and back.
The keg, modified by attaching a
push bar to the sides, was pushed
by two at a time, while replacments
for the tired runners rode in a Miller
step van behind the keg. The run
halted in High Point at 3:30, then
the runners were bused to the
Winston-Salem Hilton where they
stayed in rooms donated to them by
the hotel.
Sunday, during the rain, they ran
from 8:00 am until reaching the
quad here on campus at 1:45. The
Teke's raised approximately
$2,000.00 for their part of TKE, In-ternational's
pledge of $1 million
dollars to the Hospital, to be used
for a new wing in their name.
CHI OMEGA held a "Swing-A-Thon"
to raised $1,000 for the
Leukemia Association's Rainbow
House, located in Winston-Salem.
Thirty-seven girls swang for
twenty-four hours on the swings
located behind Elliott University
Center. The girls took turns swing-ing
one hour shifts all through the
night, apparently, there were no
seats on the swings, so the girls im-provised
and swang on pillows. Ac-cording
to some of the sisters of the
sorority," "it was cold, but we still
had a great time raising money for
such a worthwhile cause." The
Rainbow House was founded to
serve as a residence for families of
Leukemia victims so they can stay
near the hospital where their
relative is being treated. A minimal
fee is charged for the families to
stay overnight.
The March of Dimes Birth
Defects Foundation held its annual
"WalkA-Thon" this past Saturday
and raised approximately $35,000
from direct pledges made to the
walkers. Several UNC-G organiza-tions,
including GAMMA SIG,
ALPHA PSI OMEGA and DELTA
SIGMA PI participated in the
event. These groups were among
others which either walked as part
of a team or helped as monitors dur-ing
the walk. In total, UNC-G
organizations contributed $1,000 to
this past weekend's "Walk-A-Thon."
The American Alliance for Health
also sponsored its annual ".Jump A
Thon" at UNC-G to raise money for
various organizations including the
American Heart Association.
Several students from UNC-G
jumped rope for three hours to col-lect
money for pledges. UNC-G's
"Jump-A-Thon" is part of a
regional effort to raise money for
the AAHPERD. Several other
events are being held throughout
