Finally Chimes can proclaim “the Student Senate election race heating up.” Unlike recent elections, this year’s executive team election is actually a race.

Three contenders are in the runnings this year for the Presidency of the 1999-2000 Student Senate: Steve Bulthuis, Ryan Noppen and Ken Zylstra. Joining these three are the rest of their executive teams, each of which is made up of a vice president and a secretary. Voting takes place today from 12:00 - 3:00 in the Library Lobby and Johnnys.

With three teams vying for the position, presidential hopeful Steve Bulthuis said the increased competition should incite students to increased interest, both in the proceedings and in the actual vote itself. Bulthuis, who emphasized that he did not want this to become “a mudslinging campaign,” added that “the more choice you have, the more informed people are going to have to be.”

The candidates stressed that students should vote. “That way they can get their voices heard,” said Noppen, who said he is running because “we thought it would be a fun thing to do.” He added that he is in favour of having more than one contestant because, “it provides some variety.”

Zylstra agreed. “I would rather be in a race with other people because it makes you have to know exactly what you stand for. ... At this level, there has to be competition. It’s a necessity.”
