SGA candidates spar in presidential debate by Jennifer Grillo and Davina Yetter the stetson reporter Candidates for the 1997-98 SGA Presidential race argued about tuition, student activity fee funding, and other campus issues in a debate last Wednes- Kari Miller and Gabe Gehret day at Rinker Auditorium. Jim Schwartzel and Wendy Moore debated against Gabriel Gehret and Kari Miller in front a crowd of around 40 SGA senators and interested students. When asked about his proposal for the university to freeze tuition, Schwartzel responded, "We won't get anywhere unless we press the university." He added that Gehret's proposal, which suggests the university lower tuition and increase enrollment, simply "appeases the university." Both presidential tickets said they would encourage more involvement by student organizations in requesting student activity fee (SAFAC) funding. While both sets of candidates hope to work for a future student radio station, Schwartzel said that progress HBO film crews take over the CUB . by Davina Yetter the stetson reporter Film crews for the HBO documentary From the Earth to tlie Moon have been working in the Faculty Lounge of the Carlton Union Building over the last week. The Faculty Lounge was decorated to resemble the White House cabinet room for a scene in the first of the 12- part series aboqt the Apollo space program. The production crew be gan work in the Faculty Lounge last Thursday. Crews have also been using the Student Lounge, the Stetson Room, and the Garden Room of the Commons, causing both vehicular and pedestrian traffic to be rerouted around the CUB area. . Crews are expected to film today and complete their work tomorrow. Two-time Oscar-winning actor and director Tom Hanks is expected to be on campus today directing the scene. has been stalled because of the library building project and the lack of an available frequency. Both tickets want to follow through with the implementation of the 24/7 visitation policy passed earlier this year. Gehret considers himself as being the better candidate because "all of my policies are beneficial to Stetson students and realistic." Schwartzel hopes to aim high concerning issues such as tuition in the hopes that a compromise can be reached. "I have to start for the top to at least get the middle—so that any [tuition] increase can be offset," Schwartzel said. The SGA presidential election will take place tomor- Wendy Moore and Jim Schwartzel row in the CUB Lobby. Students must have their Stetson ID card with them in order to vote.
