Editor's note: Student Senate Debate

breakbox

Who: Student Senate presidential and vice-presidential candidates

What: A debate featuring student-submitted YouTube questions

When: 7 p.m. tonight

Where: Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union

Attention students:

I would like to invite you to attend a debate among Student Senate coalition leaders tonight. The Kansan, KUJH-TV and KJHK 90.7 will play host for the debate, which we designed with you in mind. From the format to the incentives, we want to attract students from various facets of campus life and diverse backgrounds.

The debate provides an avenue for candidates to express their ideas, but more importantly it creates the opportunity for your questions to be answered. Come hear what your potential student body leaders have to say about issues like parking and student fees. Wouldn’t you like to know about the people who control millions of dollars for campus programs?

We’ll be raffling off cash prizes, too. Enter your name for the chance to win a $50 gift certificate to the KU Bookstores or a $100 check for the student group to which you belong. We hope to see you there. And if you can’t attend, watch or listen to the debate on Kansan.com, KUJH-TV, Sunflower Broadband channel 31, and KJHK 90.7 FM to learn about the presidential and vice-presidential candidates for each coalition before Student Senate elections on April 9 and 10.

The UDK should post the debate on youtube so that those of us who weren't able to watch the debate live can see it.
