      As
      Bruce
      Davison
      did
      last
      year,
      we
     
     
      undertook
      to
      find
      out
      exactly
      where
      the
      many
     
     
      candidates
      stand
      on
      issues
      we
      as
      students
     
     
      feel
      are
      important.
      Admittedly,
      we
      used
      a
     
     
      very
      similar
      questionnaire
      to
      the
      one
      Bruce
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Student
      Union
      Candidates
     
    
   
   
    
     
      On
      the
      Issues
     
    
   
   
    
     
      meetings
      that
      the
      SU
      hosts
      and
      |
      will
     
     
      keep
      in
      contact
      on
      a
      regular
      basis
      with
     
     
      all
      the
      executives.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      VP
      FINANCE
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      used
      last
      year,
      but
      we
      added
      our
      own
      special
     
     
      touches.
      We
      asked
      every
      candidate
      to
      draw
      themselves
      in
     
     
      office
      some
      of
      these
      inspired
      works
      will
      appear
      in
      this
      paper
     
     
      for
      all
      to
      see.
      Some
      of
      the
      questions
      we
      posed
      were:
     
    

    
     
      1.
      Why
      are
      you
      running
      for
      this
      position?
     
    

    
     
      2.
      If
      elected,
      what
      will
      your
      objectives
      be
      for
      your
      term?
     
    

    
     
      3.
      If
      elected,
      are
      you
      prepared
      to
      put
      your
      duties
      ahead
      of
     
     
      your
      academic
      work,
      at
      least
      sometimes?
     
    

    
     
      4.
      How
      important
      do
      you
      think
      the
      UPEISU’s
      lobbying
     
     
      with
      the
      government
      is?
      What
      should
      our
      objectives
      be?
     
    

    
     
      5.
      How
      do
      you
      view
      the
      relationship
      between
      CIMN
      and
     
     
      the
      X-Press
      with
      the
      SU
      as
      representatives
      of
      the
      campus?
     
     
      6.
      How
      do
      you
      propose
      to
      keep
      Student
      Council
      and
      the
      rest
     
     
      of
      the
      Student
      Union
      informed
      of
      what
      you
      are
      doing
      on
     
    

    
     
      their
      behalf?
     
    

    
     
      Due
      to
      the
      vast
      numbers
      of
      people
      running
      for
     
     
      positions,
      we
      have
      limited
      this
      article
      to
      the
      executive
     
     
      responses
      and
      have
      chosen
      to
      print
      the
      questions
      that
      best
     
     
      relate
      to
      the
      position
      being
      sought...
      Thanks
      to
      Steve,
     
     
      Christie,
      Nicole,
      Nelson,
      and
      Chrissy
      for
      submitting
      their
     
     
      surveys.
      If
      there
      are
      differences
      in
      the
      length
      of
      responses
     
     
      printed,
      this
      does
      not
      reflect
      a
      preference
      for
      individual
     
     
      candidates
      -
      it
      is
      due
      to
      space
      limitations
      and
      the
      length
      of
     
     
      surveys
      remitted.
      Special
      thanks
      to
      Amber
      Allin
      and
      the
     
     
      other
      candidates
      who
      were
      brief
      and
      concise.
      Our
      typeset-
     
     
      ter
      appreciates
      you.
      Several
      candidates
      did
      not
      return
      their
     
     
      questionnaires,
      therefore
      they
      cannot
      be
      included
      in
      this
     
     
      rundown.
      Several
      candidates
      noted
      that
      they
      would
      write
     
     
      columns
      in
      the
      X-Press
      if
      elected.
      We
      would
      like
      to
      see
     
     
      them
      do
      so
      even
      if
      they
      are
      not
      elected
      --
      gee,
      that
      would
      fill
     
     
      many
      blank
      pages!

      1.1
      held
      this
      position
      last
      year
      and
      I
      enjoyed
      myselfso
      much
     
     
      that
      I
      wanted
      to
      do
      the
      job
      again.

      My
      objectives
      haven’t
      changed
      much.
      |
      want
      to
      bring
     
     
      high
      quality
      entertainment
      to
      the
      campus
      while
      keeping
     
     
      prices
      reasonable.
      My
      main
      objective
      isnottomake
      money,
     
     
      but
      to
      give
      students
      a
      place
      to
      enjoy
      themselves.

      I
      feel
      that
      CIMN
      and
      the
      X-Press’
      relationship
      with
      the
     
     
      SU
      is
      an
      integral
      part
      of
      keeping
      students
      informed
      of
     
     
      things
      that
      matter
      to
      them.

      The
      best
      way
      to
      keep
      Student
      Council
      and
      Student
      Union
     
     
      aware
      of
      what
      I’m
      doing
      is
      to
      regularly
      attend
      Council
     
     
      meetings
      and
      Executive
      meetings.
      Informed
      discussions
     
     
      with
      members
      of
      council
      outside
      of
      meetings
      is
      also
      very
     
     
      important.

      become
      a
      part
      of
     
    

    
     
      --
      provide
      students
      with
      a
      lot
      of
      entertainment
      and
      a

      variety
      of
      entertainment.
     
    

    
     
      --
      host
      rallies
      and
      debates
      in
      which
      students
      can
      learn
      or
     
     
      voice
      their

      their
      relationships
      with
      the
      SU
      is
      very
      important,
     
     
      especially
      tothe
      position
      of
      VPO.
      They
      are
      extremely
      good
     
     
      resources
      for
      advertising,
      and
      if
      I
      am
      elected
      into
      office,
     
     
      then
      I
      hope
      to
      use
      both
      ofthese

      I
      will

      use

      as
      stated
     
     
      earlier.

      I
      want
      to
      become
      more
      involved
      with
      the
      university.
      I
     
     
      feel
      that
      running
      for
      vice-president
      of
      finance
      is
      beneficial
     
     
      to
      the
      university
      as
      well
      as
      for
      myself
      since
      I
      am
      enroled
      in
     
     
      the
      accounting
      program
      and
      feel
      that
      I
      can
      do
      the
      job
      well.
     
     
      2.
      My
      objectives
      for
      the

      job
      to
      the
     
     
      best

      keep
      them
      informed.
     
    

    
     
      3.
      Yes,
      although
      |
      value
      my
      studies,
      I
      will
      put
      my
      duties
     
    

    
     
      ahead
      of
      academic
      work

      I

      the
      X-Press
      and
      CIMN
      when
      |
      feel
      the
      student
      body
     
     
      should
      be
      informed
      of
      an
      important
      issue.

      2.
      My
      objectives
      for
      the

      are
      to
      accurately
      create

      budget,
      effectively
      manage

      finances
      pertaining
     
     
      to
      the
      Student
      Union,
      and
      to
      ensure
      the
      lines
      of
      communi-
     
     
      cation
      are

      sugges-
     
     
      tions
      of
      any
      nature
      which
      they
      deem
      to
      be
      valid
      and
     
     
      beneficial.
     
    

    
     
      3.1f
      such
      and
      incident
      should
      arise,
      I
      believe
      that
      better
     
     
      organization
      and
      the
      use
      of
      time
      effectively
      can
      in
      turn
     
     
      allow
      both
      my
      duties
      as
      an
      executive
      and
      my
      academic
      work
     
     
      to
      be
      fulfilled
      to
      the
      highest
      standards.
      However,
      if
      such
      an
     
     
      occurrence
      is
      inevitable,
      I
      will
      do
      what
      is
      required
      in
      order
     
     
      to
      accomplish
      the
      task

      Over
      the
      past
      year
      or
      so
      I
      have
      come
      to
      learn
      more
      about
     
     
      the
      student
      union
      and
      what
      it
      does
      for
      UPEI
      and
      its
     
     
      students.
      This
      has
      inspired
