Signpost Page 4 April 11, 1980 Candidate Moench boycotts speak-out oe By Doug Harris ASWSC has announced a speak-out for the finalists in this year’s Candidates can As final elections near here at WSC, overblown candidates continue to promise students’ items they simply cannot deliver. Every year studentbody cresidential candidates promise t>2 lower tuition, eliminate campus security, obtain married student housing and _ do something about those bookstore prices. The — studentbody president can not fulfill any of these promises; it is not within their jurisdiction. Sure, it sounds good, and maybe it obtains votes, but these student-body never fulfill promises candidates are exaggerating. No studentbody president can solve the parking problem, extend faculty office hours or require faculty members to keep the same textbooks for four years. Every year the election is the same. Candidates spend much too much printing expensive flyers and outdoor signs. It is rumored, in fact, this year, that one candidate has received contributions from local businesses. At the very least, the mass of ugly flyers is cluttering our campus. No Popularity Contest A college officer election should not look the same as a high school popularity contest. We urge voters to consider the issues and qualifications of candidates. Do not vote simply on name recognition; vote for the person you feel will do the best job. And, because the Executive Council controls $164,400 of your fees, or $6.25 from elections, to be held Monday at noon. However, one major write-in candidate has announced his intention to boycott the each student per quarter for general purposes, including convocations, please vote. You should have a voice in how your funds are spent. event. The Moench, Weber State’s answer to Millard Fillmore, is quoted as saying ‘‘No way am I going to any speak-out.’’ Evidently Moench believes he was slighted when no one approached him during the planning stages of the scheduled speak-out. ‘‘In fact,’’ says Moench, ““T’ve been left out in the cold on most major decisions this year.”’ Opponents to the Moench say he’s being unreasonably hardheaded, and refuses to debate because ‘‘he obviously has no spine.”’ ‘‘Not so,’’ says Moench. “I have a right to be mad. The only ones who consult me on anything are a bunch of bird-brains, and even they usually end up doing a number on me.”’ Moench is asking those who are ready to “‘stand up and remain firm’’ to write him in for student-body president next Tuesday and Wednesday. NOTE: The Moench for President Cat Bar-B-Que that was scheduled for April 14 in the center quad has been cancelled due to City Burning restrictions. However, organizers are planning a brick-race for next week at Willard Bay, so keep those cats coming!
