Open Q&A with Presidential and Vice Presidential Candidates
"It's all about you." Opening line, MacGillivray and Clarke.
"We want to talk to you, not at you. We want to have fun. To offer you the help and services you need." Clarke
"We're students just like everyone else. In these positions we never forget we are students. We are not here for our resume or job title. We believe students should have a say." MacGillivray
*Quotes are edited based on what I hear and think is relevant.
"It's all about you and what you're union can do for you." MacGillivray and Clarke.
"Good evening everyone." Opening line. Roommates in first year. Scott was Burke house president second year.
"I can do a better job than anyone else."
"Participation, communication and innovation." - core values.
"We have want it takes to be your president and vice president."
"On election day tomorrow, make sure your union is in the right hands, your hands." Scott.
Pat- was active in his home community of Dartmouth. "This desire to help is what pushed me to run in this election."
Opening speeches were kinda weak. Just because I think someone should take a risk, go out on a limb.. do something unique.
Atmosphere: The tables are fairly full and the room is consumed with chatter.
Q: Quality of Food.
Pat - we have food quality in our platform.
MacGillivray is dieing to say something... Clarke says we should bring in a dietitian. I don't know who is going to pay for this dietitian, or how students are really going to utilize it.
Pat comes back with a solid argument of, "We don't need a dietitian to tell us the food sucks." Again, they are just dancing around the question.
Q2. What are you going to do about the food?
MacGillivray - back on the dietitian kick, explaining that we need official documentation regarding the crappy food.
Pat - taking the lets talk to people approach. Ask the students, then bring the discussion to the Sedexo administration.
Q3. How are you going to work out all these idea - financially?
MacGillivray - perfectly feasible through sponsorships.
Scott - webmaster - Squeeze out every dollar where possible.
For the record I think a full time webmaster will never happen.
Q4. How are you going to get more ppl out to the varsity sports?
Scott - We will ultilize the X-Army. Which is all well and good, but the X-Army isn't that large and they put in a lot of work as it is. I would like to know how he is going to get more people involved with the X-Army.
Q5. What are you planning on doing to get people involved with leadership and events on campus?
Scott - "Leadership is very important on this campus, and it has been tapped into but really could be tapped into more."
