To the Editor:
I am writing to express the reasons why I believe I am the best candidate for the position of FUSA president. The several points on my platform are traditions, diversity, academics, student unity, town gown and FUSA unity. But there is one thing that is not on my platform but makes me a more qualified candidate. That is my interaction with the people of Fairfield University. I strongly believe that the FUSA president is a person who needs to be familiar with the student body. I feel confident that I can speak for the majority of our student body. To those that I do not speak to on a frequent basis, know that your voices are far from silenced. I will strive to listen to any voice no matter how strong or how silent. I am an ideas man, a man who believes in hearing the ideas and taking the proper actions to see them carried out.
Can all goals be accomplished? Of course not, but it is the understanding that I have achieved through my career in FUSA that allows me to sift through what ideas we can achieve and what ideas need to be revamped.
I would also like to tackle the accusation that a junior would not be capable of commanding respect from fellow Stags. This is simply not true. I like to lead by example and by example I will gain my respect.
Finally, I would like to tackle the rumor that as a junior I would disregard the needs and concerns of the class of 2007. Not true. I’m acquainted with many students from the class of 2007, and I’m good friends with a fair amount of them. I believe in traditions, new and old, and would work hard to create new ones that would benefit the class of 2007 and all others.
In closing, I ask you this simple request, my fellow Stags: On Feb. 28 come vote. When you do vote, vote for Hutch Williams and Megan McConville. Together we, and I mean we the student body, can build a stronger FUSA for a stronger Fairfield.
Sincerely,
Hutchinson T. Williams ’08
