      On

      at
      12:30,
     
     
      the
      candidate
      speeches
      were
      held
      in
     
     
      the
      Pit.
      Despite
      the
      fact
      that
      there
      was
     
     
      a
      poor
      turn
      out
      of
      students
      and
      not
      all
     
     
      the
      candidates
      were
      present
      to
      deliver
     
     
      their
      speeches,
      there
      was
      still
      a
      show
     
     
      of
      interest
      from
      the
      audience.
     
    

    
     
      Each
      of
      the
      current
      student
      union
     
     
      executives
      gave
      an
      address
      on
      what
     
     
      they
      accomplished
      in
      the
      past
      year,
     
     
      with
      the
      candidate
      speeches
      following
     
     
      directly
      after.
      Chris
      Grey,
      already
     
     
      acclaimed
      for
      the
      position
      of
      Vice
     
     
      President
      External,
      told
      the
      students
     
     
      what
      he
      is
      expecting
      to
      accomplish
      as
     
     
      VPE,
     
    

    
     
      The
      candidates
      running
      for
      Vice
     
     
      President
      Internal
      are
      Wendy
      Venema,
     
     
      who
      was
      on
      the
      Board
      of
      Governors
     
     
      this
      year,
      and
      Tara
      Inman,
      who
      is
     
     
      rerunning
      for
      VPI
      this
      year.
      Both
     
     
      mentioned
      their
      desire
      to
      improve
      the
     
     
      communication
      on
      campus
      between
     
     
      the
      students
      and
      the
      Student
      Union.
     
     
      The
      position
      with
      the
      most
      competition
     
     
      is
      Vice
      President
      of
      Operations.
      Finley
     
     
      Martin,
      currently
      in
      office,
      is
      striving
     
     
      for
      a
      third
      consecutive
      year
      as
      VPO,
     
    

    
     
      with
      new-comers
      Brent
      Byrnes
      and
     
     
      Jonathon
      Sellers
      contesting
      this
      posi-
     
     
      tion.
      Byrnes
      maintains
      that
      it
      is
      time
     
     
      for
      a
      fresh
      perspective
      in
      the
      entertain-
     
     
      ment
      department
      of
      the
      university.
     
     
      Sellers,
      unfortunately,
      did
      not
      attend
     
     
      the
      speeches
      to
      voice
      his
      objectives.
     
    

    
     
      Curtis
      Clark
      and
      Lindy
     
     
      MacKenzie
      are
      running
      for
      Vice
     
     
      President
      of
      Finance.
      However,
     
     
      because
      there
      was
      not
      a
      microphone

      available
      at
      the
      speeches,
      it
      was
      diffi-
     
     
      cult
      to
      hear
      them.
     
    

    
     
      The
      president
      for
      next
      year,
     
     
      Chris
      Burns
      --
      who
      was
      also
      acclaimed
     
     
      --
      was
      away
      on
      a
      trip,
      and
      conse-
     
     
      quently
      could
      not
      attend
      the
      speeches.
     
    

    
     
      After
      the
      speeches,
      the
      students
     
     
      were
      given
      a
      chance
      to
      ask
      the
      candi-
     
     
      dates
      questions.
      The
      student
      concerns
     
     
      that
      were
      addressed
      focused
      mainly
      on
     
     
      the
      events
      from
      the
      past
      year.
      All
      the
     
     
      candidates
      were
      asked
      to
      state
      their
     
     
      opinions
      on
      CIMN,
      the
      campus
      radio
     
     
      station,
      and
      on
      CFS
      (Canadian
      Federa-
     
     
      tion
      of
      Students).
     
    

    
     
      Their
      opinions
      of
      CIMN
      varied.
     
     
      Martin,
      Byrnes,
      Venema,
      and
      Inman
     
     
      all
      expressed
      that
      the
      radio
      station
     
     
      should
      be
      given
      a
      chance
      to
      go
      FM.
     
     
      Both
      the
      VPFs
      remained
      in
      neutral
     
     
      territory,
      and
      Grey
      --
      who
      voiced
      his
     
     
      opinion
      from
      the
      crowd
      rather
      than
     
     
      sitting
      with
      the
      other
      candidates,
      was
     
     
      strongly
      opposed.
     
    

    
     
      The
      candidates’
      positions
      on
     
     
      CFS
      were
      more
      unified.
      All
      the
     
     
      candidates
      were
      in
      favour
      of
      leaving
     
     
      the
      lobbyist
      group,
      except
      for
      the
     
     
      VPFs,
      who
      once
      again
      chose
      to
      remain
     
     
      neutral
      until
      they
      knew
      more
      about
      the
     
     
      organization.
     
    

    
     
      Time
      ran
      out
      for
      the
      speeches
     
     
      and
      there
      were
      many
      students
      who
      still
     
     
      wanted
      to
      ask
      the
      candidates
      questions.
     
     
      Because
      of
      this
      time
      shortage
      and
     
     
      because
      the
      president
      was
      not
      available
     
     
      for
      questions,
      Student
      Union
      was
     
     
      considering
      hosting
      another
      candidate
     
     
      debate.
