“You may not know this, but
there have been over 200 candidates
for president in each of the last four
elections,” he said. “We have a com
mittee to study these and determine
which are viable candidates.
“The primary question we ask
ourselves is do they have a legiti
mate chance at being the next pres
ident of the United States.”
Fahrenkopf said that in the last
election there was considerable de
bate within the commission on
whether or not to include indepen
dent candidate Ross Perot.
“Eventually we decided to in
clude him,” he said. “And looking
back, I think that was the right de
cision.”
The next election will likely fea
ture a third party candidate,
Fahrenkopf said, and the commis
sion will determine whether to in
clude them based on the candidate’s
national following.
Another issue the commission
will face is the format, which
Fahrenkopf said can have a great
impact on the educational value of
the debate.
A panel of reporters interviewing
the candidate was thrown out, as
was the idea of using network an
chors, he said.
“With a panel of reporters, if
one reporter asks a question, the
next reporter wants to show how
good they are,” he said. “And it
has been our view that some of
those anchors try to compete
with the candidates.”
Fahrenkopf said the 1992 cam
paigns used a variety of formats, in
cluding a town-hall style meeting
with randomly-selected uncommit
ted voters.
“Some of the people in Washing
ton think. What do private citizens
have to do with this?”’ he said. “But
we thought it worked out all right.”
Kirk said no formats are set for
1996 at this point, but there will
probably be a small number of de
bates, each dealing witli a variety of
topics, rather than focusing on one
particular topic per debate.
Kirk said the commission evalu
ates its results by setting up focus
groups consisting of citizens who
watch the debate and discuss what
they learned from them.
“Almost all of the people in the
focus groups said that by watching
the debates they learned something
new about the candidates,” he said.
Currently, 41 communities and
university campuses are bidding to
hold the 1996 round of debates.

the most feasible plan would
be Tax Increment Financing.
TIF is done with local funding
and requires the cooperation of
all taxing entities.
With a TIF district, there
would be no assessment or tax
increase, and local property
taxes will be used exclusively
for local projects.
Pobiner outlined many pro
jects that ranged from short- to
long-term actions. Some pro
jects included streets being re
paired and sidewalks widened
with more lighting for safety.
Local business owners who
are in danger of losing there
businesses were also at the
meeting.
Tara Sopasakis, owner of
Burger Boy and Aggieland Tu
toring Services, said she is still
upset because her businesses
and others are not located on
the map of the future Northgate.
“We have been told that
they will not leave us out, but
where are we on the map?”
Sopasakis said. “We designed
our businesses especially for
the Northgate area, and I don’t
want to relocate.”
Other small businesses
have had trouble because they
said it seems like their busi
nesses have already been des
ignated as parking lots.
Tami Selbi, owner of the
U’R grocery store, said she lost
a prospective buyer for her
business because the owner of
her land told the buyer it
would soon be owned by the
city and become a parking lot.
“I was selling my business
so I could join my husband,”
Selbi said. “I had a deposit
check from the buyer when
they were told my store would
be a parking lot.”
Selbi said she is stuck be
cause they have invested thou
sands of dollars in her store,
and she can not just walk
away from that investment.
Another community meet
ing will take place in a few

engineering major, “voted on
names that I heard or signs
that I saw.”
Like many freshmen, Smyer
knew little about any of the can
didates and found the voting
process to be a prime example of
“how people vote when they
don’t know who they are voting
for.”
Scott Kulle, a freshman gen
eral studies major and a mem
ber of the Corps of Cadets, said
candidates who were Corps
members made more of an effort
to reach their classmates.
“From my perspective, I saw
a lot more of the Corps members
trying to make themselves
known,” Kulle said.
Many freshmen eagerly
voiced their disagreements with
the voting process.
Emily Redman, a computer
engineering major, said she
wants to change the process.
“I don’t agree with it,” Red
man said. “We don’t have an;
information about the people*!
are voting for. It just doesr.;
make sense.”
Greg Krueger, a freshi:
physics major, said the lacki!
information about the candi
dates can discourage freshiw
from voting.
“You have no idea whattlit
candidates stand for, what
they’re going to do for youtr
why they even have theseil
fices,’ Krueger said.
Cochvan said studentsan
better informed of the platform
for other student body elections.
For freshman elections, thoujt
candidates have not bet:
around long enough to fora:
late ideas or platforms.
Melanie Conner, a freshiw.
political science major whom
for a Senate position, said that
the new senators should estat
lish contact with their
stituents.
“I hope that the winnerssta;
in touch with the freshman
don’t forget who they are repre
senting,” Conner said.
