What do you believe to be the
issues facing students during the
coming year, and now wouId you
Student resources are dwindling.
Budget cuts or not, we must find ways
to mal^ the library and computer labs
more accessible (longer hours) and
also update the labs. Programs such as
mtramurals and thoxampus escort
service that benefit all stu den ts need to
be fully supported. I also feel that the
majority of students would benefit
from maintaining the CSUF title.
What should the ASl's mission be?
The ASI needs to be committed to the
equitable distinction of funds.

What do you believe to be the
issues facing students during the
coming year, and how would you
A big issue facing many students is the
status of Campus Children's Center. A
decrease in funding may force the
closure of the current sites. The
Children's Center allows students with
children to complete their educational
goals at CSUF. It also benefits the-
School of Education as well as the
Departmen t of Psychology. Access to
campus resources for all students
must be maintained and expanded.
What should the ASl's mission be?
It is extremely important that ASI be a
responsive student government. One
which is representative of the entire
campus community.

The issue is whether or not students
can get as much out of the university
experience as possible. The average
student gets little out of the ASI, but a
tiny number make out like lottery
dubs, campus activities, sponsored
lecture series, Campus Children's
Center, International student activities
and will decrease student enrichment.
A book exchange program is a must on
this campus. The Campus Children's
Center is an investment not a waste of
which a "UNREALISTIC" party
thinks. The funding of organizations,
clubs, activities is also an investment.

winners. Issues like fee increases,
library hours, computer lab availabil¬
ity and protection from on-campus
crime require civilized negotiation and
compromise, not confrontation and
grandstanding.
What should the ASl's mission be?
The ASI mission is enhancement of
education. This means concentrating
on academic needs, not personal
political crusades. Every student puts
$32 into the ASI, and should expect to
get $32 out of the ASI.

Issues facing students during the
coming year, and how wetild you
address those issues? •*
Students, in School of Ag Sciences and
Technology need a representative that
believes strongly in and will fight for
the participation of all students, from)
animal science to cultural studies. Ail
students pay fees to ASI, and all
segments of the school need respon¬
sive leadership from ASI in return.
Two to three years' of elitist rule have
resulted in a divided campus. If s. time
to end the game-playing with Campus
Children's Center, the recruitment
conferences and dubs and organizations.
Vote for change.
What should Ins AST's mission be?
ASl's sole mission is students. All students
no matter what background, sexual
orientation, gender or anything else.

Foster an awareness among the diverse
communities on campus to fight for
student rights. The issues are common
amongst all candidates, but the oUfferences
lie in the ultimate possibility of their
actualizatiort Though many student issues
are not directly conVbDed by the ASL that
does not mean that passive acceptance be
required The overall picture must be seen
and battles be fought in the right arenas for
keeping access to the. university, stabilizing
tuition and increasing the educational

What do you believe to be the      I
issues facing students during the
coming year, and how would you
address those issues?
The current ASI reduction being
presented to the students. Students
need to know that if this reduction is
presented to the students and is
passed, it will deal a serious blow to
the programs the ASI funds, namely
the University Lecture Series, the
Campus Children's Center, The
Collegian and dubs and organizations.
What should the ASl's mission be?
The ASI mission should be to maintain
the integrity of the corporation and to
maintain the integrity of the students.
We should make it our duty to protect
our interests. Access to adequate
classes, proper student representation
in government and to keep our
integrity.       V

What do you believe to be the
issues facing students during the
coming year, and how would you
address those issues?
ASI has been exclusively for individu¬
als who were elected and, because of
this, it has had very little student
support I feel that it is important for
the students to be actively involved
with their school Without the
student's involvement, the ASI would
not be a democratic form of govern¬
ment. The ASI is responsible for the  /

important issue is theorgani/ation

What do you believe to be the
issues facing students during the
coming, year, and how would you
address those issues?
The issues revolve around the ASI fee
decrease. If the fee is decreased, all
arid positive role in educating the
campus community should be finan¬
cially assisted. A second concern is the
lack of representation students receive.
Students want, to be heard.
What should the ASI'a mission be?
A$I's mission should be to take a
supportive and culturally sensitive
rote in carrying through with the #
needs requested by the diverse student
community. ASI should speak on
behalf of the students and not in self-
campus resources won't be accessible
to the students. There's a lot of stu¬
dents that don't know what is going
on with student government and one
of my jobs as a student representative
is to inform the students because there
are decisions being made about their
futures.
It should be a commitment to building
toward representing a diverse popula¬
tion of students not just a select few.
promises on such ''predictions'' would
make it hard for me to fulfill those
pledges. All students that pay ASI fees
should benefit equally, regardless of
age, ethnicity, income, etc. Lastly, one
group or interest should not gain
unjustly at the expense of another.
What shoutdtw ASf s mission be?
' The ASl's mission should be to assist
the greatest number of students in
practical ways.
