Candid(ates) Talk - Sidney Loko

I caught up with Sidney again and decided to continue with the questions

SFUO BLOG: Okay, second round. Take a seat.

Sidney Loko: Okay

SFUO BLOG: Awesome. Okay. If you could ask any one question to your fellow candidates, what would it be?

Sidney Loko: That`s a very hard question. Any question to a fellow candidate, what would it be? Well, reading... reading most of the...

SFUO BLOG: The Fulcrum. We`re just going to flash this up here. Wooo! New Fulcrum! Get it today!

Sidney Loko: I`d actually ask them. Well, since the VP.UA has to do with two services: the academic appeals one and the human rights service. I`m actually wondering what they are going to do for human rights and diversity on campus. Because I think there is an issue with diversity and minorities, and it`s not seeing to be addressed in what I`m reading. So that`s basically what I want to know.

SFUO BLOG: Another question is.. How do you feel about the posting regulations, specifically the vast number of posters that are allowed going up at this point?

Sidney Loko: Personally, I don`t like posting.

SFUO BLOG: You don`t like posting?

Sidney Loko: And I don`t like the posting at all. I`m an environmentalist. I study enviornmental... I just came out of an environmental law class. And, personally, I don`t like posting. I think that with the technology that we have now, we can use other means an media to get the message across. I mean, it is efficient, but getting 200 posters, and handouts and buttons and all those things. I think that some of it is a waste. And the most important is being able to talk to the people who you want to represent, because while I`m campaigning I don`t see a lot of people out there talking to students. I mean, is that... Are you hiding behind the posters? Or is it just that haven`t seen you, or that you don't have the time. I don't know. But I think that if you took down the posters and people used other means of media they would have to talk to the people and actually find out what is wrong with the people. Because reading what I'm reading right now, I just think that some of them don't know what they are talking about. When you are talking about access to internet... I think that there are other bigger issues than access to internet, personally. I don't want to criticize and I'm trying to keep it clean but it's just something that shocked me. Access to internet is shocking.

SFUO BLOG: There are more important issues to deal with.

Sidney Loko: I think so.

SFUO BLOG: Thank you very much again.
