Tfie candidates for tfie senkx and graduate posittons, respec¬ tively, are: Lei^'-'PeBy..and Gregg Medlyn. The Paisano invited each candklate to submit written replies to four questions. Only four respcjise^ were received and tfieir answers are printed .below. 1. What do you think the role of the SRA should be? Brian Starr—The SRA should represent each UTSA student as fairly as possible. Jerry Serrato—Their role should be that of a student representative assembly whose acttons satisfy the student's needs. Representation must not be abused. Student opink>n should be actively sought after and used wfien in tfie majority, for that is a tme reflectton of the student body needs. Patricia CoUey—The role of tfie SftA, as I see it, is very l)ask:. As the name implies, it shoukl represent tfie students, and serve their best interests in whatever ways possible. Gregg Medlyn—I feel that SRA memliers have a respon¬ sibility to represent the students of UTSA. This representation includes; 1) listening to and votoing tfie student txxly opi- nton, 2) soliciting, exploring, and providifi^ feedback to areas of student concern, and 3) par- ttoipating in tfie policy and deci¬ sion making processes of UT¬ SA with the ttest interests of the student body in mind. 2. What specific ideas for improvement of The UTSA do you advocate? Starr—Addittonal parking spaces should be made available at UTSA, especially around the Humanities Building. A second idea is the implementation of covered walkways between buildings so necessary when it rains. I also feel the SRA should sponsor some sort of tuition scholarship for UTSA students. Serrato—Actively hiring and keeping faculty members of top caliber with money which must be acquired from the same funds which allow UT at Austin and Texas A&M to maintain their quality faculty. 11 Colley—Being new to UT¬ SA, 1 fiave not adopted any specific plans, but hope that my honest concem for tfie welfare of my fellow students will make me a very positive Entity in this representative assembly My reason for mrining is. simple—I want to be there to do v. hatever good 1 cay, and 1 am confident I can do some good. Medlyn—I definitely advocate tfiat SI^ represent ALL of the student txxly. If elected 1 would concentrate my efforts on representing the graduate stu¬ dent txxly, as-well-as all night¬ time students. I feel that in the past, these students have t)een neglected and under- represented. Some of tfie unkiue problems tfiat tfiese students face, and I feel need immediate attention continued on page 4 Special Election Schedtded for Today by Alex A. De La Pena Voters of District 57-C go to the polls today to decide if Republican cfiallenger Alan Schoolcraft or incumtient Al Brown will represent the district in tfie 1981 Texas legislature. Voters eligible to vote in to¬ day's special election must reside in the following Bexar County precincts: *324, 325, 374. 429, 431. 432, 433, 343, 442. 443, 444, 445, 446, 447. 448. 449. 450, 451, 452, 453. 454, 456, 458, 459. 463, 464, 465, 466 and 467. The polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. Tcxfay's special election was called for by Gov. Bill Clemtrits after the state legislature nullified the Nowcmtjer 4 election results in which Schoolcraft defeated Brown by 1,038 votes. Defeated incumbent Brown fil ed challenge to the Nov. 4 results with the legislature, claiming that more than 1,038 of the 2,622 absentee ballots cast in the elec¬ tion should not have t)een counted. Brown charged the ballots were cast l)y persons sta tioned in the military at Randolph Air Force Base and consequently not eligible to vote'in the local election as specified by state law. The main cause of the election dispute is t)ased on the conflic ting federal and state election laws. ' Federal law does not require a person he an actual resident of a county or state when voting in local, state or federal elections for some federal employees. In eluded in this non-requirement are military personnel, who in order to vote only need to show in their records that the place they cast their absentee ballot is their last recorded home of record. State law, however, requires a voter he a resident of the county Ijcfore voting in local and state electrons. In voiding the election, House Speaker Clayton considered Brown's challenge by afxx>inting a spKTial rommittec to study continued on page 4 PLO Speaker Due The UTSA Political Science Association will present two lectures this month conceming events in the Middle East.
