Collette Bagby Bakersfield

SHAREHOLDERS: May 7, 2008




The meeting of May 7 was the first experience as "organizers" for our Association. The approach of the elections for student and faculty but also the lack of a forum / discussion between the candidate list led us to create a platform where students could learn the "colleagues" that they would be due to the "upper floors of Power", a time that would also helped their voting choice, relying not only on election proposals written on sheets on the walls of the faculty, but also to real faces and speeches. This puts you in the weeks before the event 4 offices of the associations that have submitted the list to discuss their programs and know the candidates more closely. There is also space for two meetings in which all five groups (four lists the candidates and we, the assembly promoting association) discuss the form and set of rules to be May 7. Flyers and posters decorate the barracks until the fateful day Villarey. 24:45: it's showtime. At the "table" sit two representatives from each list. The President of ODA - that during the debate will be called the "Bruno Vespa of the situation" - opened the meeting by presenting the new association: explains the name, logo and status. Once presented with four lists its candidates, Eleonora, the secretary of ODA, presented with a nice powerpoint presentation, which are the representative bodies of students within the University, not forgetting some practical advice on how to vote.
Then comes a video of Prof. E. Moretti, coordinator of the Analysis Improvement Commission, outlined in an interview in his office, which are the main changes in the teaching of our faculty to the much debated question of the number of students. The participants did not time to digest the news from there that will involve them in two years, beginning when the main Assembly: the presentation of lists and their programs. 8 minutes are granted without exception, any list that can manage the time as it sees fit. The only rule: no comparisons. It begins, in strictly alphabetical order, the right wing University. Matt and George R. start focusing on the spirit of "right" of the association. The issues addressed are the lengthening of the library, study rooms for students, control of prices of a photocopying service, better management of classrooms to reduce waste and combat limited. It then goes on to list Gulliver . Forte is the story behind that make them the longest list of university. George P. Maurizio and touch on issues such as funds for the library, part-time enrollment, facilities or public transport and the fight against privatization of canteens and dormitories. They also say no to a limited number. The Student Office host Mark and Michelle who carry out activities such as workshops, company visits, conventions and the service notes that joins the battle to get different services exercises. Their list is opposed to the number of students. Rounding out the presentation George S. and Luke 's European University. Their intervention, mainly oriented to clarify the position the list and its history, addressing issues such as the right to study with a broader vision with proposals such as the unification of all the bodies to the Right to Education Marches on one institution. Greetings and thanks from the organizers of the meeting concluded that he wanted to make information in the round, particularly in view of the elections. The faces of interested and satisfied the "public" were a litmus test on the importance of meetings "superpartes" as of 7 May.
