Voting will take place near Java Coast in Molinaro Hall. Everyone who is currently enrolled at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside should care aboutthe results of the election, as theywillhave a significant impact on theentire student body. There are four candidates whoare running for the position of President of PSGA: David Wilson, Theodore Ruffalo, Patricia Jensen, and George Lasley.ThePresident ofPSGAbas toserve as an official ceremonial representative of PSGA, be present at all General Assemblies, serveat least five office hours perweek, and appoint one Chief J . Ustlce and two lower Justices to sitonthe Student Body Supreme Coun.The President of PSG A has theability to veto any legislation O"lgn legislation into law call for an ' emergency General Assembly session with two days' notice (as long as it is scheduled for l1laximum attendance by members of tb e student Senate) can create Or di • isband Executive Committees and appointments with a majority VOle f the 0 all members present in b Senate, and create the PSGA ;d g e t with the approval of two- trds of the Senate. Wilson D·d . ".. aVI Wilson believes that "th h· IS two years as a member of tbe student government, "intimate knowledge" of the PSGA constitution (because he wrote the bylaws and passed resolutions), knowledge of United Council as well as other organizations on campus qualifies him to be the President of PSGA. If elected, Wilson would like to get rid of the j OO-signature requirement that candidates need-in order to be on the ballot because be feels that if someone wants to run, they should be able. Additionally, he plans on downsizing the bureaucracy and giving power to students and members of the Senate. David wants to cut the United States Sports Academy (USSA) in an attempt to focus on what be feels PSGA does hest: organizing and lobbying for students on the university, local, and state level. If elected, he plans on keeping segregated fees low, make sure that the latest happenings in United Council are publicized, and improve PSGA from a public relations standpoint. Furthermore, Wilson wants to "organize an efficient and coherent body of the PSGA bylaws, to regulate and define their actions of PSGA in a physically manifested form that will ensure continuity of the rule of law and give guidance for further generations to follow." Wilson feels that the expansion of Parkside should not go unchallenged. He also feels that PSGA sbould advertise the upcoming election to create more interest in it. Ruffalo Theodore Ruffalo is running for PSGA President because he feels that "this position represents opportunities that are rare and short-lived; allowing me to make the most out of my time as a student exploring a dynamic that reaches past lectures and the classroom. Those opportunities include: making a difference in politics, helping shape the course of my (student) community for tbe better, and being proactive by helping to create lasting, fulfilling changes that will benefit Parkside students after I'm gone." Ruffalo believes that he is a qualified 10 be President of PSG A because be cares about what is happening on campus. Additionally, he speaks out and takes actions to solve problems and resolve issues and problems in PSGA. Ruffalo feels that leadership roles he had in the U.S. Marine Corps have prepared him to run student government, if he is elected. The goals he has for PSGA if he is elected President are the following: to create a streamlined student government of proactive individuals and user- friendly rules and regulations, make PSGA more appealing for a greater diversity of students, and demonstrate that you don't have to be a politician to "enjoy and enrich Parkside with political actions." Jensen Patricia Jensen is running to promote campus unity, as she believes that no organization feels valued or respected and feels that PSG A should set the tone for relations with the university "We've got issues" and organizations. Jensen has a wealth of experiences that have prepared her for being the head of PSGA: one year as the President of Sacred Circle, for two years she was the secretary of the same organization, three years as a member of Parkside Adult Student Alliance (PASA), one year as secretary of the Parkside Environmental Club, served as a Senator in PSGA for two years, one year as a member of Student University Fees Allocation Committee (SUFAC), a former member of The Ranger News, a member of student government in the Kenosha Gateway Technical College, as well as being a former co-editor of the newspaper for the Kenosha Gateway Technical College. If Jensen is elected, she has some immediate goals: change the location PSGA Senators hold their meetings, advertise PSGA, enforce what is in the PSGA constitution, make every aspect of student government more accessible because students pay fees that go towards PSGA, as such they have a right to know what's going on, conduct a student survey regarding what 'they want from PSGA, and invite the entire student body to United Council as all students pay for Parkside to be a member of it. Patricia bas several long term plans for PSGA, if she is the victor in the race for President for PSGA: she wants to have a meeting once a week with every single organization on campus because all organizations have value to them, and if they focus their energy on an issue there is no telling what could be possible. Jensen wants to improve the communication between the faculty and students of Parkside and communication between university administration and those currently taking classes at Parkside. Lasley George Lasley was unavailable for comment. Vice President and Senate Billy McCollum and Antonio Roudez are both running for Vice- President of PSGA. The Vice- President of PSGA has enormous responsibilities: he or she must monitor and inform the student Senate on the financial condition of PSGA, give an itemized budget and make bi-weekly reports, be a voting member of the Executive Board, serve at least four office hours aweek, and has to be present at all General Assemblies. As of this writing there are six people running for student Senate. However, an extension was granted until Man Apr. 13 at II a.m., at which time all applications had to be turned into the PSGA office for those who wished to be on the election ballot for this position. All members of the Senate must be present during all General Assemblies, and must serve at least two office hours per week in the PSGA office. Members of the Senate have the power to do the following: pass legislation in the interest of the student body with majority vote; override Presidential vetoes with a two-thirds vote, call referendum or special elections a two-thirds vote, impeach or censure any member of the Senate or any executive officer; or remove a Justice for not fulfilling their duties) or engaging in immoral dishonest activities with a two- thirds approval vote, approve Constitutional amendments with a three-fourths majority vote, approve the agenda for General Assemblies, amend the agenda with a majority vote of all those in attendance, and approve appointments to the Supreme Court with a two-thirds vote and committee director positions with a majority vote.

PASA Dinner and Dialogue 5:00pm to 7:00pm Tallent Hall 281 The Ranger News I'll be honest: we had a bit of a scramble to get the PSG A election candidates covered for this week, as elections are today and tomorrow. 1 think Robert Rosati did a great job in getting as much information as he could and compiling it into an article for you all. I wish we had been able to cover this last week, so it wouldn't seem so last minute; but that's just how life is, T guess.

On the same topic, this issue is filled with PSGA information. Besides the election coverage, there is a brief article about some former PSGA Presidents visiting the new Union, and two resolutions passed by the Senate. For not having much PSGA coverage throughout the semester, this almost seems like PSG A-overload. And maybe it is. But 1 think it's a good thing that we have all of this information in the issue. You, the students, deserve to be informed of what is going on with your student government, and it is our job to get that information to you.

Most likely, there are some events that we just Won'! get to cover, even though we'd like to. There are only so many of us, and only so many hours in a day. That's about it for this week I think.
