Union Board staff prepares for '03

The lineup for next year's Union Board representatives is complete. \nAfter students elected eight of the 16 candidates for next year's Union Board directors and executives Tuesday, the remaining spots were filled by interviews Thursday.\nSome of the new representatives, in response to a questionnaire about their goals for next year, said they want to provide entertainment that represents all kinds of students and as many students as possible.\n"Every student at Indiana University should be able to feel involved and should feel like their student organizations care about what they think," sophomore Scott Wilson said.\nSophomore Amy Wanninger already has specific goals for next year.\n"I plan on trying to recruit more students that want to have a say in how their activity fees are spent and have them come together and implement those ideas," said Wanninger, who served on the marketing committee this year. "Also, (I will) find out what can be done about possibly lowering concert ticket prices."\nTickets for concerts by Jewel and by John Mellencamp last month were $35.50 and $34 for IU students, respectively.\nThe comedy director Kelli Kleindorfer said new Union Board student directors and executives will decide who will serve as the three executives and 13 committee directors by an internal election at a retreat, which takes place Jan. 17 at the Waycross-Hickory Hill Retreat Center in Morgantown, Ind.\nThe election results will be available in an advertisement in the Indiana Daily Student and on the Union Board Web site a week after the retreat. The new directors will take over the positions in the second week of spring semester.\nUnion Board Alumnus John K. Malkin funds the retreat, Kleindorfer said, and it is always held at Waycross Retreat.
