The Student Senate elections are still more than a month away, but the race for student body president and vice president has already begun.
Pair will run for student body offices
David Adkins, Topeka junior, and David Welch, Topeka sophomore, confirmed yesterday that they will seek office offices in the Nov. 18 and 18 elections.
Adkins, Student Senate Executive Committee chairman, and Welch, a Numeraker student senator, will run on the first ballot in which already has 45 candidates.
THE TWO SAID that they want to restore credibility to student government.
"We would like to bring a new perspective to some of the activities that Student Senate performs," Adkins said.
He said that changes in Senate over the past few years such as the cut in size, the changing of elections and the newly created Budget Committee could be used to decrease the amount of time Senate spends on money allocation.
Welch said, "The Senate is not really informed, and it needs to be."
"There are academic issues that we need to be able to address," Adkins said. "We have a new chancellor that seems very open to student input."
ADKINS SAID he also would like to see Senate become more involved with the Legislature, the Board of Regents
Adkins also said that to restore Senate's credibility, Senate would have to realize that it had limited resources.
and related administrative and financial issues.
"We can still have a lot of fun doing what we do."
"I get tired of the endless progression of people in Senate who think Student Senate should be the be all and end all, so that they are not made those limitations and make the best of it.
Adkins said restoring Senate's credibility in the eyes of students and faculty was an important task that needed to be done.
"In order to restore that credibility, we have to address the issues with sincerity, with intelligence and from a moment of occasional compromise," he said.
MANY STUDENTS see Senate as a repository for "juniar politicos" and people who are trying to pad their resumes, Adkins said.
He said that Perspective Coalition would have to reach out to those students and convince them that Senate was a worthwhile activity.
"I think they care, and I think it's just a matter of tapping their concerns," he said. "This is the selling point. We have students that we are viable candidates."
Adkins said they would divide the issues of their campaign into leadership issues, campus issues and money issues.
UNDER LEADERSHIP issues.
Adkins said they wanted to coordinate the various boards that Senate appoints, such as legal services and health services advisory boards.
Campus issues included a possible credit union, KU pre-enrollment and sexual harassment and minority and handicapped student issues.
Financial aid, funding of non-revenue sports, graduate student salaries and a fee waiver are some of the financial aspects respective would address, Adkins said.
He said the specific stands that he takes on the issues will depend upon response he gets from members of his team during meetings at the next few weeks.
"I would like to see more student input on those issues," he said.
"There are some good things that can come out of Student Senate and haven't
