OUR VIEW: Ask questions of UOSA presidential candidates

The Oklahoma Daily and UOSA will co-sponsor a debate at 7 p.m. Wednesday between the UOSA presidential candidates in the Molly Shi Boren Ballroom of the Oklahoma Memorial Union.

This is a great opportunity for students to meet their future presidential and vice presidential representative and ask them the questions necessary to make an informed vote. If you have questions about the policies our future representatives will be promoting or opposing, this is your chance to ask them.

These are our future representatives, people we are electing to be our representatives and leaders; this is our chance to get to know them and make sure we’re voting for someone of whom we’ll be proud.

If you want to know their stance on smoking on campus, gender-neutral housing, open government, student government officials’ pay stipends or any other campus issues, this is your chance to ask. Jamie Hughes, the editor-in-chief of The Daily, will moderate and ask questions. If you’d like your questions considered for the debate, please e-mail them by 6 p.m. Tuesday to dailyeditor@ou.edu.

There will also be a debate on the five constitutional amendments. The amendments range from restructuring our student government to automatically recalling any positions gained in an uncontested election. This debate will be held at 6 p.m. next Monday in Beaird Lounge, and it’s an important chance to hear the discussion behind this reworking of the student representative bodies around campus.
