Maison Bleam says one of his primary goals as UI Student Government president would be to serve as a voice for UI students who are continually "shortchanged."
The UI junior and political-science major is the current Student Assembly Budgeting and Allocating Committee chairman, and he has three years experience as a UISG senator and funding committee chairman. He also worked as justice of the Student Traffic Court and chairman of the Recreational Services Charter Committee. Bleam is also the vice president of the Dean's Student Advisory Committee and a member of the Youth Advisory Commission.

Writer Doug Thorpe defines the "wild truth" as the territory when a person has moments of touching some deeper meaning in life. He'll read from his book Friday at Prairie Lights at 7 p.m., and invite us to look at things in a different way - because, he says, awareness is a wild thing. (0) comments
