Candidates representing the Delta Force, United Students and Students Rights coalitions participated in the question and answer session.
The debate, open only to student athletes, gave candidates the chance to address their platforms specifically to student athlete needs.
Chelsey Pryor, Washington, Penn., senior and Student Athlete Advisory Committee senator, said the debate helped SAAC endorse the best presidential and vice presidential candidates. SAAC will announce its endorsement decision later in the week.

Darrell Stuckey, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore and football player, said the debate was very productive.
"It was a much needed experience for student athletes," Stuckey said. "A lot of athletes haven't voted in the past because they didn't know anything about the candidates."

Mark Lohmeyer is on staff at the budget office in Strong Hall and he has caught water in trash cans to avoid puddles on the floor. Luckily, there has been no significant damage to the office.
