The candidates for Undergraduate Student Government president and vice president focused on the financial feasibility of their platforms in the third and last debate of the campaign season yesterday.

USG Senate President Mike King called former Academic Assembly President Erich May the "Six Million Dollar Man" because, King said, May's platform requires excessive spending.

"(May) will now spout out lofty rhetoric that is long on promises but short on substance," King said in his opening statement.

May said he has never "once been caught saying" he wanted any of the facilities open 24 hours, but Rec Hall, Shields and Pattee must be accessible to the student body at extended hours.

King asked May, in a cross fire, where the money would come from for expansion hours.

May said it would come from the reallocation of monies from the Office of Student Affairs.

May also wants to push for the construction of the Graduate Circle Parking Lot which has already been delayed once.

King said the parking lot was passed by the University Board of Trustees in May 1993 and construction will begin whether May is elected or not.

"I don't know anything about brick and mortar. I do know what the students want and what they need -- and they need more parking," May said.

Among other issues, the four tickets agree safety and alcohol awareness are key concerns.

Latino Caucus President Carina Defferrire and former Penn State University Veterans Organization Vice President Pat Scanlan said qualified trainers and counselors would cost money, but they would look to other organizations for help.

Then it's a matter of sitting down and talking with the members of those organizations, they said. "That doesn't cost money, that costs half an hour at a chapter meeting," Scanlan said.

Matt Thomas (senior-journalism and English) said USG needs to re-evaluate the safety-related programs it already has and make them more effective. He added that safety is a top priority for him and running mate Joy Brown (junior-accounting).
