SSFC 5-6-10

6:05 - We're getting started, time to start up open forum.

6:06 - Sworn in

6:06 - Boan is speaking - Boan doesn't like Matt Manes - he has 'bad social communication skills.' Matt was offensive in private.

6:07 - Evan Hurley [chances of me butchering his name: high] (Vice Chair with WISPIRG) - WISPIRG doesn't endorse candidates, likes Jolie. Other people can help Jolie with technical experience. Jolie will do a good job making sure the process is fair and as welcoming as possible (it's inherently pretty stringent).

6:10 - Coordinator for ALPs (gonna spell the name wrong) - being available by e-mail and in person is key. Communication is key. Wants someone neutral to both groups.

6:12 - Tina is up. She's speaking for herself. What GSSF groups/CWC is looking for from leadership. This year we had very accessible leadership. Liked the professionalism of the chair. Tina doesn't like Manes, even if he is open in the future the negative precedent has been set. Wants to make sure that we have someone who is approachable, who understands GSSF groups and works with them. Wants a chair that comes from the student org perspective. Generally liked what ALPs said.

Awww... I didn't get a shoutout

6:16 - Carl Fergus - Ex Chair - What is important in leadership. GSSF is a small portion of the money that SSFC works with. Future leadership needs to have a vision for what to do with nonallocables. The chair should have extensive knowledge of the system, we need institutional knowledge that's ready to go from the start.

Speaking out for Romanesko

Looks like I aint gettin any love from anyone today.

6:18 - Wisconsin Student Lobby coming in to speak for Manes and Romenesko. Questions about Bylaws need to be answered quickly and truthfully.

6:20 - Kurt Gosselin is up - SSFC is a position of great power and great responsibility. I'm totally spiderman.

6:22 - Kurt likes Manes. Really likes the idea of a Campus services fund (Kyle walked in in the middle of Kurt's speech). Likes institutional knowledge, apparently is doing his thesis on the segregated fee system (Holy crap, and I thought I was a nerd). Wants people who can see the larger picture, stewardship of the fund. Really likes the numbers that have been cut by Manes and Romanesko. Wants us all to vote for Manes and Romanesko.

Well I guess chit chatting with him about my ideas last night fell on deaf ears.

6:26 - Michael Romanesko is up. Chair/Vice Chair of WISPIRG likes Romanesko.

6:27 - Kyle S is up - Was the secretary and the vice chair - Going to speak to Jolie as chair of ssfc. Jolie has a lot of experience in the GSSF world. Having someone outside of the committee would really help things. Wants us to cultivate healthier relations with the GSSF world. Wants to urge against abstaining.

Still getting no love.

Wants more leadership and more diversity on the ssfc.

Urges a vote for Jolie.

6:36 - Chief Justice elect wants a good lawyer! Is that me? or a backhanded insult aimed at me? or none of the above! We will never know!

6:40 - Brandon speaks!

6:41 - Chief Justice Darby is speaking! Wants people who have a respectful relationship with the Court.

6:48 - Chair Speeches! Jolie Lizotte vs Matt Manes - pretty much what you'd expect. Manes is basically endorsing my ideas wholeheartedly. Awesome.

6:53 - Manes gave a pretty awesome comprehensive speech. Jolie has some pretty god ideas but this isn't looking all that pretty.

6:58 - Potty Break!

7:22 - Chief Justice is big on appeals, I can do that!

7:24 - Debate is open!

7:33 - 10-2-1 for Manes

7:41 - Back in order, running for VC

7:56 - Two questions from Nichols, no debate shot down hard 11-1-1. Wheee. Oh well, more time for homework.

8:07 - Missing rules committee meeting. Also, secretary is getting significantly more Q&A/Debate than me. Awesome.
