I have lived in Adams Center since the
fall semester of 1992. During my first
semester at OU, I was chosen floor presi-
dent of Johnson 6-7 and was very active on
the Presidents Council. In the spring
semester of 19931 was appointed executive
assistant of Adams Center. Currently, I am

Adams Center is a very unique commu-

expand those programs and services to
provide a better environment for everyone
Center, I would make it my duty to make
sure that every resident is informed about

Finally, I would like to concentrate on
service. You, as Panhellenic women, gra-
ciously donate so much of your time and
talents to helping our community. It is one
of the most heart-warming parts of being
greek. Panhellenic should take pride in
promoting each of your chapter’s philan-
thropies and also keep updated lists of the
community’s volunteer opportunities.
Your Panhellenic president is there to
serve you, and I would welcome any new

Leadership in the face of adversity. As
the Adams Center president for the past
one-and-a-half years, I have had the oppor-

opportunity to represent the interests of
my fellow residents faithfully.
I can not take all the credit by myself. I

is the smallest of the on-campus residence
halls, right across Lindsey Street from
Dale Hall, and has a population of 650 stu-
dents. Being the smallest allows us to
develop into a small community, and
friends made here are friends for life. But
in being the smallest Cate Center has little
income and needs money to survive. I
believe that it is the duty of a center presi-

to see to the well-being of his community

my word of honor that the ideas I have can
and will improve the quality of life in Cate.
My platform, as it stands now, consists of
corporate sponsorships for individual
houses in Cate, corporations that will pro-
vide internships as well as special services
to “Caters.” With that part of the financing
seen to, we can have greater community
interaction for charities, reopen the com-

Before I even get started, let me say
that I am in no way related to the godfather
of soul, the NFL hall of tamer, or the guy
on CBS Sports who happens to share my .
name. I am the guy who is running for
Walker President As I am unopposed, I
don’t have to waste time talking bull**** to
get elected. Let me just say that I look for-
ward to continuing the service to the resi-
dents I started as vice president in fall ’92.
I plan to continue to improve the services
provided to the residents, increase the
awareness around “the Tower” and keep
up the great programming we have in
Walker.
As it stands now, Housing has the most
effective student government on campus.
My main goal for the Walker Presidents
Council is to increase our recognition
throughout campus so that in the future
our needs and concerns are not regarded '•
as secondary to other areas of campus. I
plan to do this by developing a relationship
with The Oklahoma Daily so that Housing
concerns gain the attention they deserve. •
Housing is presented with a great opportu- -
nity, now that we are under Student
Affairs, and have an actual director of
Housing.
Contrary to popular belief, the students •
are not in a fight with the administration,
except perhaps in the case of a rate
increase. The Department of Student
Affairs is more willing to listen to our con-
cerns and work with us to develop accept-
able solutions, especially on issues such as *
cable in the residence halls, maintenance
of our facilities and Internet links in the
dorm rooms. I intend to continue meeting •
with Dr. Smith, vice president for Student •
Affairs, as my predecessor has done, along
with meeting with Housing officials on a
regular basis so that the administration

Many chapters have restructured their

improvement Strengthening the IFC judi-

I also want to improve the relationship
between the PC office and the residents.
As I walk by the PC office late at night I
occasionally see lights and hear people in
the office, but the office is locked. The
office should be an area open to any
Adams resident, not a private club. As part
of my plan to create an open environment
in the PC office, I want to install a window
in the office door. Also, if elected, I will re-
establish the Adams Center newsletter as a have noticed that many residents do not
get involved at all. Increased involvement
and participation are two of the goals I
have set for Cate next year.
If elected, I would like to increase pro-
gramming. This would start early in the
fall semester as a sort of welcome-back ori-
entation program. Along with a beginning-
of-the-year program, I would like to see
more programming throughout the year as
a result of the Presidents Council. Most of
the programs would be social events that

elected house officers.
Since Cate is mostly upperclass hous-
ing, it is evident that the residents live
here by choice, not by requirement For
this reason I want to use the residents’
input rather than the input of just a few
officers. I plan to keep in close contact
with the residents throughout the year. I
want to know the residents, and I want
them to know me.
If you have any questions for me or if
you would just like to talk to me so you
could get to know me better, feel free to
