KUISCOOL BUTITISN'TPERFECT
Students at KU have helped create one of the finest institutions nationwide. We have excellent instruction and the most beautiful campus around and we keep it that way while helping the environment by recycling.
However, students' rights are diminishing every year while our only voice, Student Senate, has sat by idly and raised fees (by 11.5% this year) and engaged in unsound fiscal policy.
IT'S TIME FOR STUDENT SENATE TO CHANGE
Bill Gist and Scott McDaniel offer a chance to elect Independents for President and Vice President and break the vicious cycle of COALITION control of Student Senate.
-Ensuring that there are NO NEW FEES next year.
-Work for your parking rights and keeping Jayhawk Boulevard open.
-Ensuring Residence Hall and Off-Campus representation.
-Fight to bring back the right to drink on the Hill.
