Of
the
students
who
voted
in
the
past
by-election,
how
many
of
them
are
actually
informed
voters?
Judging
from
the
poor
response
of
those
who
chose
to
attend
the
forum,
very
few.
There
is
no
doubt
in
my
mind,
or
in
the
mind
of
others,
that
this
by-election
was
well
publicized.
Advertising
was
increased,
and
those
who
walked
into
CNC
couldn't
help
but
notice
the
candidates,
or
their
campaigns.
All
bulletin
boards
were
jammed
with
advertisements,
and
flyers
were
distributed.
The
forum
was
well-advertised,
yet
only
twenty-five
students
showed
up,
not
including
six
of
the
nine
candidates.
Despite
this
poor
showing,
the
candidates
still
gave
their
speeches.
Chris
Kitchen
chaired
the
forum
,
of
which
he
introduced
candidates
and
read
out
the
responsibilities
and
duties
for
each
position.
As
Chris
explained
the
responsibilities
for

Ask
a
Librarian
sports
and
coordinator,
a
remark
was
heard
from
Dylan
Cole:
"Yah,
maybe
I
should
hear
this."
The
forum
commenced
on
a
light
lone,
with
the
speeches
for
Sports
and
Coordinator,
and
External
Officer
passing
quickly.
Dylan
Cole
talked
about
changes
in
the
awareness
of
CNC
sport
teams;
explaining
that
there
are
a
lot
of
exceptional
teams
that
students
did
not
know
about.
Mantej
Hothi
spoke
for
David
Ladinski,
claiming
David's
growing
concern
for
sports
and
clubs.
A
question
was
asked
of
how
the
students
could
take
David
seriously
if
he
doesn't
show
up?
Mantej
answered,
"I
don
'
t
know."

at
the
forum.
Jennifer
commented
on
the
fact
that
if
she
gets
elected
for
External
Officer,
then
she
would
do
her
best
to
bring
in
speakers
from
the
Northern
Interior
University
Society
so
that
the
student
body
would
be
more
aware
of
their
community.
For
the
position
of
Vice-President,
Ian
Forster
claimed
that
teamwork
is
the
key
to
viewing
student
concerns.
He
continued
by
remarking
that
he
plans
on
meeting
the
challenge
of
more
student
awareness
by
creating
a
newsletter.
Ian
was
asked
how
this
newsletter
would
be
different
from
the
Free
Press.
His
response
was
that
this
newsletter
would
be
handed
out
person-to-person,
and
that
there
would
be
a
questionnaire
which
would
be
returned
to
Student
Association.
Anthony
Marotta,
also
running
for
Vice
President,
voiced
his
concern
of
boosting
CNC's
morale.
He
stated
that
the
best
way
to
start
was
to
begin
with
Student
Association.
He
wanted
to
integrate
students
with
faculty
and
administration.
At
the
forum,
the
last
position
dealt
with
was
for
President.
Romi
couldn't
make
the
forum
because
of
exams,
but
because
Anthony
spoke
for
both
of
them,
Romi's
plans
ran
along
the
line
of
boosting
student's
Spaghetti
Bridge
Contest.
morale
towards
the
college.
Shawn
Petriw
said
that
it
was
"too
easy
to
be
in
support
of
everything."
Instead,
Petriw
listed
his
line
of
qualifica
tions,
and
insisted
that
commitment,
dedication,
hard
work,
motivation,
organization,
and
creativity
leads
to
'General
Leadership'.
AlthoughElia
Vahlas
was
the
last
person
to
speak,
he
maintained
that
he
would
be
beneficial
for
Student
Association
because
of
his
liaisons
with
the
R.C.M.P.
and
City
Hall.
To
continue,
he
insisted
that
this
liaison
with
the
community
would
aid
with
dances
and
other
projects.
Elia
commented
that
Student
Association
needs
a
different
approach,
rather
than
taking
away
or
boosting
student
activities,
and
he
stated
that
Student
Association
and
students
must
join
together
in
obtaining
different
activities.
Although
these
speakers
addressed
the
concerns
of
the
student
body,
very
few
were
in
attendance.
