benefit anyone and/or everyone. Being a CLAS senator is about open-mindedness, listening, positive results and representing the largest constituency at KU. If elected, I will work on KUinited initiatives, my own initiatives and be open to new initiatives."

Along with those plans, I want to make sure that all organizations that influence campus are being funded equally and fairly."
Alisha Gibbs
Topeka freshman
Major: Microbiology

open communication lines between departments, student organizations, etc., I believe students would be able to maximize their education beyond the confines of the classroom."

Major: History

"We need a stronger presence in the capital. We're a public University and somehow the state
seems to be funding us less and less. Even now, there is a bill working its way through Topeka. If passed, it will result in a loss of professors, increase the years it takes students to graduate, a deterioration of buildings and all the other factors that come with a severe cut in funding."
Lance Mall
Clay Center freshman
Major: Biology

"I would like to help students become more aware of what Student Senate does. Many students do not real-

Allie Milhon
Topeka freshman
Major: Psychology
Coalition: Delta Force
"I want to try and help the Senate be a more student-friendly environment. Not a lot of people are
aware of what the Senate does or how it works. I want students to have more access to what is going on in the Senate and know how they can be part of the organization."
Wake Mitchell Coalition: Delta Force
"I plan on helping achieve our platform issues. I think freshmen and sophomores in CLAS would particularly benefit from some of our improvements such as online ticket redemption and extended hours at the Rec Center Campus safety is another important issue that I would like to address."

Mark Anderson
JUNIOR/
SENIOR CLAS
San Jose, Cali, senior Major. Economics and communication studies Coition: Delta Force
"The very least I can do is to carry out Delta Force's platforms. I'm specifically interested in making sure that block funding helps out multicultural groups. How can we be a top-25 school and not assist the different ethnic groups by promoting diversity throughout our campus?

John Connor
Overland Park junior Major Political science and communication studies Coatition: Delta Force
"I think a lot of what Senate does focuses on long-term goals and things that may not happen for
a couple years. The juniors and seniors that will have elected me, if I win, will want me to focus on things that will happen immediately. Senate always has a lot on their plate and I plan to focus on what will help juniors and seniors before they graduate."
"Eliminate all fees associated with academic services including transcripts and

Hutchinson sophomore
Major: Biology
Coalition: Delta Force
"My plan is to work for the Jr./Sr. CLAS students by responsibly allocating funds from the Senate budget to
programs that directly benefit the broad range of upperclassmen in the CLAS. Also, I plan to communicate with members of the various departments of the CLAS to make sure that departmental concerns are voiced."
Salina junior Major: Political science and American studies Coalition: Delta Force
"Students in CLAS need more career planning and job placement aid. The University administration pays little attention to the needs of students when making decisions. Tuition is rising so quickly that students are getting priced out of an education, and yet the state continues to cut our funding. These are problems I dedicate myself to fixing."

including the meetings we had last fall with CLAS Dean Kim Wilcox, discussing issues pertinent to the CLAS. I hope to expand these meetings to include junior and senior senators as well. I hope to work on KUnited's platform issues, which would benefit many CLAS students."
