                "1": "A major issue currently is the gun policy. I feel like that is a major concern for a lot of our diversity students. Our minority students have concerns about having guns on the premises and what that means for their safety in the classroom.",
                "2": "I definitely think that would be a good use of student fees. I think all students, not just multicultural students, would benefit from having one of those on campus. It's a good central location for diverse students to meet and learn about other cultures.",
                "3": "I would like to see more student interaction. I feel like I've only ever really had a few senators really come talk to me about them representing me in the College of Agriculture. It's good to know who represents you in the college you're in."

                "1": "I think it's definitely tuition. I really think that people should know more of what their money is going to, because usually when you get your tuition bill it says 'oh we used this much money for this.' And it's like where is my money going? I'd rather have a lot more detailed bill about where every single amount of money is going and toward what.",
                "2": "I'm not in favor of that because I think that we should use that money instead to update things that we already have that aren't up to the best place that they could be.",
                "3": "I really think that it's important to get kids to know about it because like a lot of people don't even know anything about it so I think it is really to get kids more involved and to spread information about it, because like my roommate, she had no idea what it was, and other people I've talked to have no idea what it's even about, so I think that we just need to spread the word and actually know what's going on with SGA."

                "1": "I would say that one issue that affects all students here at K-State is the price of tuition and paying for school and getting out of school without student loans.",
                "2": "I would if that multicultural facility had a place for everyone in that. I don't believe that everyone should be putting in money to something that they're not going to use. So if they're going to use it, yes, for sure, they should definitely be able to help pay for that, but if they're not going to use it, I don't think that they should be having to pay for it.",
                "3": "I think the biggest thing that we can do is to talk to people, and to go out and speak with the students and get their perspective. That right there is all that you need to do. If elected, I would just go out and talk to as many people as I can and to get their opinions on things."

                "1": "I believe as to make sure we have as many students engaged as possible. I believe we need to get the number of students who vote up. That matters, that's been an issue for years and we need to change that, and I also believe that students all need to be included on issues. So I think SGA should focus on working hard to reach out to them instead of having them reach out to us.",
                "2": "I am. There’s already privilege fee funding in use for facilities like the recreational center and athletics and the union program council, and K-State’s one of the few schools who still don’t have a multicultural student center, so I would definitely be in favor of student fees for the construction or for just the facility in general.",
                "3": "By reaching out to students definitely. Interacting with as many student organizations from my college as possible, whether it's email, or just social media in general, Twitter, you name it. It's really important that they're engaged, so whether they agree with me or not in policies and issues I just want them to stay engaged and tell me how they feel."

            "questions": {
                "1": "I think right now, the big one is the smoking policy, which, especially in the College of Ag. A lot of people in the College of Ag are not in favor of the complete ban, and a lot of them want the ban of just the smoking tobacco, and it is my duty personally, as a senator, to represent their feelings on it, so I wouldn't be in favor of the complete ban as a senator representing the college.",
                "2": "I think right now, student fees go to a lot of things that are really useful to students, like getting the newspapers in and just all of the things we have access to and a privilege to. As for the multicultural center, I think that would be a great way to implement diversity on campus. I know a lot of campuses around us are really struggling with that. K-State, so far, it has not been that big of a deal, but you always want those preventative measures, and you always strive to be more efficient and a better campus. So, if we, as a Senate, decided that would be a good option, then I'd probably vote in favor for it.",
                "3": "I'm currently an intern, so automatically, people were like, 'Hey, you should apply for this,' and I had no idea what I was in for. I was never really in student council in high school, so really just amazing witnessing the things that we decide on and having a say in that is really amazing to me and just witnessing all the things that we have a part in, so I think it's not really widespread, though, so as for me, it'd be about promoting and getting more people involved in the intern program and inviting people to come in on committee meetings that make those vital decisions and getting more people just to come into the Big XII Room to listen in because, as an intern, it has been so impactful just to be able to sit in and hear those really important conversations, so just more implementations of advocacy, so I think that would be the best option."

            "questions": {
                "1": "Probably the most import issue is our budgeting, just in terms of how much each college gets, how much each club gets and making sure that that's spread equally and each club and organization is represented equally on campus and making sure that they each get the amount of money that they deserve and that it's alluded fairly throughout the colleges.",
                "2": "I absolutely would. Maybe not right now at the present moment with all the construction that's going on, and I think it would be more ideal if we waited until at least the student center was done, and after that then, I would absolutely be ok with that because I believe that diversity is very important on our campus, and multiculturals need to be equally represented here at K-State, and with that being done, I think that we'd be able to more readily be able to do that. And as far as student fees going toward it, there's nothing wrong with that as long as they're being used wisely and they're not being spent on something else because we don't want to overload them student fees when we have so many things going on right now.",
                "3": "Most importantly is that SGA represents the people that elected us, and I believe that that is going out with -- take, for example, the smoking ban and the tobacco ban that's possibly coming up, how SGA went out and had a debate -- we're open to people's opinions, put out stuff online for surveys to be done, and simply making sure that who votes us in is who we represent. We're not there to simply vote on things. We're there as a representative. It's the type of thing where you're not voted for yourself, but you're voted for somebody else. You represent somebody else, not your own opinions. It doesn't matter what my opinions are because I'm not going to be voting for myself, I'm going to be voting for the people that elect me."

                "1": "Particularly in the College of Agriculture, a big issue is our judging team fees. A lot of our students participate in judging teams, like wheat judging and meats judging, and typically that's funded through SGA. However, SGA's looking at cutting back on this funding, which will greatly impact our college.",
                "2": "I am. I think especially a lot of universities, this is something that's becoming a lot more pronounced and important. And I think the sooner the K-State jumps on that boat and getting the multicultural center will really impact our students.",
                "3": "For me it's really listening to the voices of our constituents. They are electing us to serve them, so it's making sure we're here and voting for their voices."

            "questions": {
                "1": "I think the biggest issue that we have right now is just communicating out the opportunities that we have here at K-State. And we hear a lot at pep rallies and all that, but the one-on-one interactions that you can have, whether that's at K-State Proud days or just those group days where you can be with others, that's the time where you actually know about the organizations.",
                "2": "I am in favor of that because I believe that's something that can diversify ourselves as a student as well as on the K-State campus. We can understand different cultures and different views of other students if we build this. Of course the extra fees is something no student wants in college, but in the end it will help us, whether that's grow in multiculture interests or even outside of college we can have a better view of these different cultures.",
                "3": "Voicing out the opinions of others is probably the biggest thing that I've seen. I know that a lot of people when they go into SGA they just talk about what they do in SGA at the Senate, but you really need to voice out the opinion outside of Senate. You need to tell them what you're doing in Senate and how you're doing it and how this can affect the students, whether that's the increase in fees, or right now one of the biggest bills is the smoking policy. That's something that you need to voice out, and that's something that I believe I can do well."

                "2": "Yes, and the reason being is if you're wanting something and wanting something to be more effective, especially for the whole entire student body, with everyone contributing something to it, not just being one source, we're able to show that yes, I helped with this and this is what we're getting and this is why it's helping us and the future.",
                "3": "I intend to be more of the one that's willing to listen and kind of understand what's going on so that we can be progressed on to the future. As well as planning any rules and regulations to help the student body."

                "1": "Right now, currently, I believe it is the smoking ban and the issue of whether to ban it completely or the amendments that go along with that. I think right now it's being discussed a lot and students are having a lot of input. Recently there was a Twitter chat about it, and so I think that students are really engaged in that discussion right now.",
                "2": "I do believe so. With the eliminating of student fees in the future, I do think that leaves an area open to use those student fees to improve K-State campus. Throughout the past the student fees have been used for smaller things such as buying the newspaper every day and other such fees, but I think those fees could be put to better use, and building a multicultural center brings a whole new diversity to K-State and I think that is more appreciative towards students than just picking up a newspaper every day, whereas they could use this multicultural building to diversify themselves.",
                "3": "I plan to really open up SGA. SGA to me, when I first came to K-State was kind of this unknown entity, and I think that's the way it is to a lot of students. Sometimes it doesn't seem as open, whereas anyone can come to an SGA meeting if it's an open meeting and really have influence on K-State. So I really want to maximize the way that we use SGA to everyday students and really open it up and make sure that everyday students' voices are heard in every hearing."

                "2": "I think it would be a nice thing to build a new multicultural center. K-State keeps progressing and I think it would be a great thing for the campus.",
                "3": "I would try and get more involved with all types of students because in the past I think SGA would talk to their groups rather than expanding out to groups they may not know as well. So I think we need to communicate to more people like freshmen and foreign exchange students to try and get them more involved."

                "1": "I know one of the most prominent issues right now is the tobacco free campus which I think is really impacting students on campus because those individuals that choose to utilize that option, having a tobacco free campus would impact them on a daily basis. I think the bigger focus should be on the future students. So I do truly believe that K-State is a family and K-State is a create campus and we should exemplify that with our student body and our buildings and we should be keeping campus clean.",
                "2": "I would be in favor of using student fees to build a new multicultural center. I think K-State has a lot of diversity and with a new multicultural center we could really highlight that. I think a center could be effective in attracting new students that could possibly be from a diverse background. I think that K-State is growing and I think a multicultural center could really highlight that growth on campus.",
                "3": "So I think that when people first hear SGA they are either super confused or super intimidated and I don't think that is not the image SGA is trying to give off. I think for me SGA is an opportunity for me to represent the students in my college and to really maximize my time and their time, even thought they are not sitting in the student senate meetings on Thursday evenings, but I think SGA is really promoting student voice on campus. We are a public institution but there is no institution without students and I think they have a great voice through SGA."

For me personally, being able to maintain a job while I'm in college and offsetting the cost of schooling is a challenge and I know other students face that same problem, so I think it's a pretty big issue.",
                "2": "I would not be in favor of that. I think there should be a different avenue to build that. There are thousands of donors out there that are very generous that I feel like they would really enjoy investing in something that would benefit the multicultural aspect of campus. So I think there is a better avenue than to use student funds for that.",
                "3": "If elected my focus would be, not only advocating for the College of Agriculture but for students throughout the campus. I've been very passionate about agriculture, especially the livestock industry throughout my youth and high school into SGA where I would represent the College of Agriculture."

                "2": "Yes I am because I think a lot of other universities, specifically within the Big 12 have multicultural centers, and it is a good use of funds to where those people will be able to have their own space so when people come for tours, they're able to say, 'Well if you're a multicultural student we have this area for multicultural students.'",

For example, we're currently looking at our smoking policy so that benefits students overall. Enforcing being healthy and making sure you're taking care of yourself because then you're a better student and campus is happier and healthier.",
                "2": "Yes because I do believe academic buildings are being paid for currently by student dollars. I'm not 100 percent certain on that but from what we've talked about in student senate they are. We do need to be inviting to those other multicultural students. We are big on the ìK-State Familyî and part of that would be providing that center to them. ",

It starts at the local level. This will be my third year running for student senate, and every year we have a turnout of about 11 to 20 percent of students who vote, and I just think it's ridiculous. I really want people to know that student senators are making important decisions about their welfare in college and I think it's really important for them to realize that their vote really matters and they need to vote for people they think will represent them well.",

Student fees pay for the Collegian, student fees pay for student experience at the Rec, student fees pay for a lot of student experience.

And I believe we are one of a few schools in the Big 12 that doesn't have an actual multicultural center, not just a small office but a center.

Because with the growing population of multicultural students, I feel like it just shows that K-State is backing us up and is on our side and wants us to keep multicultural and diversity, and diversity is a part of the K-State 2025 plan, so I just think it would be a very good use of student dollars, especially if some of those dollars come from multicultural students.",

A lot of times, people will run and not do anything when they're elected, or they'll run and just be afraid and not prioritize it, so if you're going to run, you need to enact change, you need to engage in change, because it is a position where, if you're not changing anything, you're not improving anything, you're not doing anything for anyone, and I think if we as senators, as UGB, as college councils, if we can keep that in the back of our mind, then we'll be better connect to K-State."

With political advocacy, really attacking what inhibits most students, and that's the rising cost of education, so ensuring political advocacy, making sure that students have a voice in the legislature, and moving students from a special interest in the United States legislature to a chief interest.",

There is so much the effects students with the affordability of college and so I think that students need to have a better say and understanding of what is going on, and from that being able to participate in conversations and have their voices heard regarding the way that their money is spent.",
                "2": "Yes I am in favor of building a multicultural center, however, I do think there is a lot of support from alumni and I think there are lots of donation opportunities. I think student fees should definitely help and be a component of the building of a multicultural center, however, I think here are lots of gifts from alumni and donors that could also help offset the cost.",
                "3": "It has a lot to do with student outreach and student input on things. I think right now senators are elected and are never heard from again outside of their campaign, they just go to the meetings every week, whereas I think it is important to be talking to constituents and figure out what is the student goals. Above anything else, it doesn't really matter what my opinion is, but what truly is representative of my college's opinion or the university's opinion on various issues."

One that directly affects students in the College of Engineering is the new surcharge that we're seeing coming through. It's an $80 surcharge over the process of five years. This year we're seeing a $20 increase in that. So that's one of the biggest issues that students in the College of Engineering are going to face this year.",
                "2": "You know that's a good question. I haven't thought much about that. In the past, student senate has taken the stance that we do not use student fees to build buildings, and I feel like a multicultural center would be an exception to that, similar to the (K-State) Student Union and that we should use student tuition dollars to build a place like that because it would be a place where students of different backgrounds would be able to gather and feel comfortable and have their place on campus.",
                "3": "One way that I've been working to help SGA impact other students on campus is by making sure we let everybody know what issues we're dealing with and letting them know how we can get involved. Encouraging people to step out and reach, email their student senators, representatives from their college, is a key way that everybody can get involved."

A lot of times, it's easy to ignore all the topics that are going on if you don't know what they are, so making sure that all those students know what's going on and are involved in the process and just making sure they have a voice in what we're doing, and it's not just the people who are elected, it's everyone.",
                "2": "Yeah, I am. You always hear this about the K-State family and supporting the students around us, and if we're not willing to kind of support each other in that, then we shouldn't be saying we're a K-State family, so even though it's using student dollars, it's just supporting those that are around us.",
                "3": "I think again, going back to making sure every student has a voice, whether that's through just communicating with people in my classes or through Twitter, or anything like that, but just making sure that every person feels like they're being heard and knows the issues that are going on."

                "2": "I am definitely in favor of building a new multicultural center. It's kind of a shame that K-State doesn't already have a free standing building for that. This campus definitely gets better with diversity and I think a lot of times we tend to forget that because we are a land grant agricultural institution so people think we aren't going to be as diverse as some other universities, however, the more diverse the university is the better off we will be.",
                "3": "I think the best way to do that political advocacy. I want to let people know what we are doing. I think a lot of people don't realize that students are in charge of where your privilege fee money goes, so I think if people were more aware of that they would be willing to speak out and decide where they want their money to go."

                "2": "Yes, I would be in favor of doing that. As the only school in the Big 12 that doesn't have a free-standing multicultural center, and with the rising importance and light shined on the issue of diversity, I think that's something K-State should definitely implement in order to be with the times.",

Because there are so many students that say, 'Oh, I should go to this, but I'm not going to.' And I think it would be really cool if we somehow increased students' confidence to be able to go by themselves, rather than having to have a group or something, because we have all of the things here.",

I'm an intern currently and I've been on the smoking policy committee, and working through that, I've really seen how it affects students on campus, and I've been able to see it from both sides because coming from me, I'm obviously not a smoker, and I think that affects our population as a whole, but I never really realized that it affects people who do smoke. And looking at it from a different standpoint, it was interesting to see it from international students because they come from a different culture, where it's completely normal for them to smoke, so on campus, they might not feel as welcome. That's an issue that I think is important that it's being looked over now, and I think hopefully we can deal with it in a way that can benefit all the students at K-State because I don't want anybody to feel like they're not a part of the family.",

I don't want to be at a university that doesn't encourage diversity and is very judgmental toward anyone or doesn't make anyone feel welcome. For me, I'm all about family and about the K-State family, and I just think it'd be a really good idea to do that.",

There is nothing wrong with coming from a traditional ag background, however, I think it makes it hard to relate to some of the students considering the College of Ag. So as a representative I think it is important to have a really diverse ag council and have someone who can serve as a liaison between organizations within the College of Ag and can really play a role in getting people to come to the College of Ag.",

You’d think going to the library would be the best place to get Wi-Fi, but inevitably, there are too many pulling on it, and it doesn’t work. For students that live off campus, it would be parking. Myself and several friends live off campus. We’ve missed classes because we can’t find parking. That’s actually the entire reason I take 8:30 classes, so that I’m forced to be here on time, and I’ve heard almost everybody else complain about that at one point or another.",

I think that a lot of our students feel that their voice doesn’t matter, and they that can’t have an influence on policies or changes that are happening on campus. It’s evidenced by around 2 percent of our student body votes in elections, and that’s in a good year. I think getting students engaged, that’s the biggest challenge that the next leadership will face.",
                "2": "I’m definitely in favor of a new multicultural center, but before I would want to impose fees upon students I want to explore a variety of different fundraising options. There are lots of donors that I think would be willing to give to such a worthy cause. I want to explore those options. I think if students are going to be imposed with a fee like that, they should have some sort of say in the matter, whether that be a referendum vote or something like that, like when we did the Union.",

It is clear that students really think that we would be a good voice for them. If elected, Michael and I would really take the time to visit with students about their opinions on what matters to them, like what issues should the student government address. By doing that, that’s one of our platforms, student outreach by having town hall meetings whenever there’s issues that arise as well as email updates of what’s going on in student government and what students should be concerned about."

There are a lot of big decisions that go through our group and we can have a lot of impact on really the K-State experience for students. So I think being able to relay that and make sure that there’s a better connection between what’s happening in student government and the administration level and how that’s going to affect your student experience, is a really big disconnect that I hope we can improve in the future.",
                "2": "We actually had a sit-down conversation with a bunch of different multicultural groups this semester and their opinions on all the issues that our university is facing. The multicultural center was one of the big issues that came up that they were wanting. And I think also in the colleges of business and engineering the past couple of years there have been fee increases and they were not received well. I think the multicultural center is very valuable, and I think the people see the value in that, and I especially think private donors would see the value in that. So I would prefer pursuing funding from private sources before going towards the public.",
                "3": "I think one cool thing that we’ve done so far is kind of coming out of nowhere as a write-in campaign has definitely engaged a lot of interest. Hopefully we’ll be able to use that momentum that we’ve gained to stay in touch with the students. That would be a good way to keep our relationship. I know one of Lindy and I’s thoughts has been student engagement, having monthly town hall meetings with each college to make sure that everyone knows what’s going on at the student government level, as well as putting out bi-weekly emails, sort of like a fireside chat, just so that everyone knows what’s going on. That’s probably the best way to keep students engaged."
