House ticket to run for IUSA positions

The House ticket announced its candidacy for control of the IU Student Association this week, citing increased administration accountability as its primary goal. The ticket consists of freshmen Dale Drizd for president, Jim Brueggemann for vice president for Congress, Heath Voegerl for vice president for administration and Adam Traylor for treasurer.\nThe group said its strength rests in improving current standards established by past IUSA administrations. Ticket members said they can enrich relationships between on- and off-campus students, as well as faculty-student associations.\n"I haven't really seen any problems in the current administration," Drizd said. "However, House plans to elaborate on the framework IUSA has already established."\nThe ticket's platform consists of three major proposals, Drizd said. While acknowledging the validity of IUSA's current campus efforts, House strives to increase attention on faculty responsibilities, student rights and general University liabilities, Drizd said.\nThe ticket's official platform asserts faculty must accommodate student needs more readily. Drizd said this could be accomplished through more concentrated extracurricular assistance programs and lengthening office hours.\nHouse plans to rouse student involvement through polling and individual contact efforts, Drizd said. The group plans to "bring back individual rights to students," according to the platform.\nAnother ticket concern is the prevalence of on-campus vandalism. House plans to, if elected, integrate a fee in standard tuition fees to cover repair costs, Drizd said. Residence hall security is also another area of focus for candidates.\nBrueggemann said House plans to implement a University fund to subsidize vandalism costs. \n"There have been some vandalism issues on campus, and everyone has had to pay," Brueggemann claimed. "Essentially, everyone is found guilty."\nTaylor said the focus of the campaign is really on presidential candidate Drizd, not the rest of the candidates.\n"I'm not really the person to talk to," Traylor said. "I'm kind of just a space filler, along for the ride"
