STUDENT GOV'T Brian Brown Elected COR President ► After winningthe drawn-out election for ASWC president, juior Brian Brown looks ahead to a new COR administration and what he hopes will be a productive term in office. by GEORGE RIGGLE QC Staff Writer Brian Brown was declared the winner in last week's run-off election for ASWC president. The run-off election was necessary, according to the Constitution, after neither Brown, nor either of his opponents David Fujimoto and David Stimler, secured a majority of the vote in the Associated Student elections on Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 15 and 16. Because no majority vote was received, a run-off election was held to break the effective tie between top candidates Brown and Fujimoto. Brown, a junior political science major, said he was "ecstatic at the results ofthe elections." He said, "The new administration is filled with students who are both capable and determined to better Whittier." Brown calls himself "diligent Photo courtesy of Brian Brown Brian Brown and responsible," but states he is also "a typical college student who enjoys being involved." He brings' to the job of president his experience as Quaker Campus news editor in the fall of 1993, COR off- campus representative in 1994, and a term as president of the Richard M. Nixon Republican Club. These jobs, Brown stated, taught him a lot about "delegating responsibility, working with people, addressing various concerns." Brown said he looks forward to the challenge of the ASWC presidency, and states that his main objective is to represent the interests ofthe Associated Students of Whittier College and to make COR "a more open, receptive, and responsible body." Brown acknowledged the strides made by the current administration of COR to keep students involved, and give them a voice in student government. "Student involvement is the key," said Brown. He plans a monthly newsletter to increase students' knowledge and awareness of the college government. Brown also encouraged students to attend COR meetings and apply for committee positions. He said, "If you do not voice your opinion there is less chance for COR to make the decision that you feel is right." In addition to appointing students to several committee positions which need to be filled, Brown will be selecting and appointing the COR treasurer. For this position, BrOwn said he is looking for someone "willing to spend the time and energy that the position requires." He went on to say, "Funding events on campus is the major way in which COR works to improve student life." Brown promises to allocate funds efficiently and promptly, and to work to find "practical solutions to problems of student life." Brown also looks forward to working with the other elected members of COR: Vice President Nate Goetz and Secretary Stephen Rosales. Brown had nothing but praise for these fellow COR members. He stated, Goetz has proven "responsible and dedicated in other areas of student government." Brown also said, "(Rosales) has shown dedication and tenacity by attending almost every meeting of COR this year and making his voice known." Brown said the most important thing right now, is to make sure that all the COR members have a good working knowledge of the Constitution and the bylaws. He wants to fulfill the duties of his office with "prudence and practicality, and to work towards real solutions that will improve student life at Whittier." Brown hopes students will feel free to approach him with their ideas. He added "I am always willing to talk to students," and invites concerned students to call him at ext. 5493.
