Briefly explain your platform.
OAT; We plan on keeping the 24 hour library open, plan to keep the LTD bus schedule, increase the number of student tickets, and get students involved in all areas that we can.
What qualities and experience qualify you to be an ASUO senator?
Well I don’t have a whole lot of experience within Senate, so I feel like I bring in some new fresh blood and I’m involved in different areas of campus, so I feel I can represent the students well.
What are your thoughts on the purpose and size of the student incidental fee?
I feel that it’s huge right now, and it does need to be lowered.
How should the DFC deal with Campus Recycling’s budget next year?
Campus Recycling I feel is very important to this campus and it’s something that the student do want. Unfortunately I’m not super-informed about what goes into it, but it’s something I’m looking forward to tackle.
In light of the cuts to the University administration’s budget, should the Career Center reconsider its decision to wean itself off the incidental fee?
No. I think it should be off the incidental fee, for sure.
