CAMPAIGN: Platform shifts for Snapshot ► From Pago 1 times and any cost chang es. “Posting of enforcement/ free times we have been doing this with Physical Plant help,” Walter wrote. “Many lots already have the times posted we are going to post times in all lots and decks.” Delaney said his party spoke with administrators about every platform item. However, Secord said at Wednesday’s executive debate in Myers Hall that he is not deterred. “I’m not a fan of listen ing to them say what is and is not impossible,” he said. Secord also said that when the Tate expansion and parking deck were built, students were prom ised they would be able to park there after 5 p.m. “Students should get what they were promised," he said. Secord used the exam ple of the student activities fee to show the seemingly impossible could happen. Last year, SGA was given authority to allocate the fee’s funds. Delaney said students should fight for what is unlikely. “But we’re not going to promise the impossible," he said. Editing The Snapshot The Snapshot’s platform does not look the same as it did April 31, when cam paigning began. Some of the edits serve to clarify the party’s posi tion, such as adding the party will create an ad hoc committee to decide which student organizations receive the proposed 10 at large Senate seats. “Representation is still our namesake,” Delaney said. The Snapshot also changed its budget crisis statement, deleting the statement, “We will contin ue to fight for a seat at the table when critical deci sions concerning the bud get are being made," and presents in collaboration [JJjJMjJ with Phi Beta Sigma mm Dr. Cornel West •• V t ■ft - ■ •. l ••!'■•- ; • ■ ? • 3 Oditi JQ J I .'

Anew platform initia tive was added to complete what the current SGA administration started, eliminating C-minus grades, changing minimum sanctions, allocating stu dent activities fees and guaranteeing students don’t have to take three exams in 24 hours. Delaney said the edits were mpde after students said they couldn’t under stand the party’s stance. “If students want us to address something,” he said, “our receptiveness during the campaign will be the same while we’re in office.” The Green Team off probation After successfully appealing one of the sanc tions the Green Team received from the SGA elections committee Friday, the party is off probation. Because SGA elections code deems glitter as litter causing, the team received a sanction for using glitter on a campaign sign. However, the committee repealed the sanction, instead giving it to the two party members who deco rated the sign. In addition, the Green Team faced a possible sanction for using chalk to write messages on Milledge Avenue, but the team pro vided Athens-Clarke County documentation showing the chalking had been permitted. Therefore, the team did not receive this sanction. Two sanctions stand for campaigning before it offi cially began and obscuring posters on Miller Learning Center bulletin boards. The Green Team also launched a Web site, www. stopugawaste.com, so stu dents can anonymously report wasteful spending. Voting in the SGA elec tion ends tonight at 11:59 on OASIS. ELECHON: School funding top goal ► From Pago 1 grants for the University. “There are numerous federal programs that provide funds for local governments to invest In job-creating infrastruc ture, such as roads, bridges and mass transit. With an effective repre sentative in Congress, Georgia District 10 could enjoy these programs’ benefits,” Edwards said. He said similar pro grams, which he plans to bring to Georgia, exist for school-funding. Dan Coenen, a profes sor at the School of Law who Edwards cited as a positive influence, said Edwards possesses noble traits which will help him succeed in life. “I think he’s a very motivated, bright, ener getic person and student, and I think he’ll bring these abilities to whatev er task he undertakes,” Coenen said. He also said Edwards is dedicated to public service, saying Edwards set a record for the larg est amount of money raised through an Equal Justice event. “That’s a very thank less Job that requires great organizational abil ity,” Coenen said. Deena Overbye, a sophomore from Atlanta, said Edwards is appeal ing because he attends the University. “It makes me more interested in his views because I can relate to him more," Overbye said. Edwards said his expe riences at the University will aid him if elected. “The connections I’ve made and the work I’ve done in law school will serve me well as I navi gate Washington,” he said.
