PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES ON CAMPUS

Sanders visits alma mater

WEDNESDAY:

In Other Ivory Towers

Bernie Sanders spoke at the

University of Chicago Insti-
tute of Politics on Monday, the
Chicago Sun-Times reported.
Sanders is a presidential can-
didate for the Democratic
party.

The talk was part of the

IOP’s Road to 2016 series,
which consists of several
events relating to the upcom-
ing presidential election and
offering equal opportunities
for all presidential candidates
to speak.

In his speech, Sanders

encouraged the students to be
active members of their com-
munity.

“Change never takes place

from the top down,” he said.

“We need the idealism and the
energy and the intelligence
of millions of young people
to join us in the fight to make
America the kind of country
we know it must become.”

Sanders was well received

by the students in Hyde Park,
where he received his under-
graduate degree in 1964.

“(Sanders) was electrify-

ing,” said University of Chica-
go freshman Jacob Johnson.

Silvio Weisner, director of

George Washington Univer-
sity’s Mental Health Services,

was forced to step down last
week after it was discovered
he is not a licensed psycholo-
gist in Washington D.C., the
GW Hatchet reported.

After discovering his lack

of credentials, Peter Konw-
erski, dean of student affairs,
said administrators respond-
ed swiftly.

“Immediate
action
was

taken to ensure compliance,”
Konwerski said.

According to the District

of Columbia Department of
Health, Weisner’s license to
practice in D.C. is awaiting
reinstatement, though he is
licensed to practice in Vir-
ginia.

Roundtables

planned to discuss

revisions to

misconduct policy

BY JACKIE CHARNIGA

Daily Staff Reporter

At Tuesday’s Central Stu-

dent
Government
meeting,

CSG President Cooper Charl-
ton, an LSA senior, announced
initiatives to work with stu-
dents on the issue of sexual
assault.

Charlton said CSG will host

roundtables with students on
sexual assault prevention and
to gather feedback on proposed
changes to the sexual miscon-
duct policy in the next two
months.

Dates for the roundtables

are Oct. 1, Oct. 26 and Nov. 3.

“This
is
something
we

should all be fighting for, and
I encourage you to show up,”
Charlton said.

Charlton also requested that

CSG allocate $3,800 in funds
to bring a production of The

Haze to campus. The play is an
autobiographical one-woman
show by San Francisco resi-
dent Heather Marlowe about
untested rape kits.

“There are over 400,000

rape victims in the United
States whose rape kits have
gone ignored at the hands of
local law enforcement agen-
cies,” Charlton said. “Heather’s
purpose and her objective is to
use theater and performance
to bring this issue to the fore-
front.”

Charlton said several stu-

dents reached out to him about
bringing the play to campus,
and he thought the perfor-
mance would spread aware-
ness of the issue to students at
a minor cost to CSG.

Budget amendments

CSG voted on and approved

the Fall 2015 budget with a
few amendments, including a
2-percent increase in the bud-
get for the Student Organiza-
tion Funding Committee.

LSA senior Kevin Ziegler,

CSG treasurer, said the finan-
cial committee reduced both
operations and payroll by 1 per-

cent to raise SOFC’s funding to
$200,000, constituting half of
CSG’s Fall 2015 budget. SOFC
is the CSG committee charged
with allocating funding to stu-
dent organizations.

Ziegler said it is CSG’s duty

to make sure the student fees
that make up the budget are
spent responsibly.

“Not only just spending

money, but establishing pro-
grams that benefit students
for years to come — keeping
that in mind in spending our
money,” Ziegler said.

Ziegler also discussed how

CSG can properly use its money
to avoid funds being left over
after the budget period are
allocated for ends. In Fall 2014,
there was $34,000 left over
in unused capital from CSG’s
commission discretionary and
legislative discretionary funds.

Ziegler said this could be

avoided by this year by the
assembly if they properly apply
for and utilize the money set
aside for them.

“All leaders on campus can

use the CSG funds in different
ways,” Ziegler said.

awareness, finalizes budget

Professor discusses
important issues,
helps pre-meds for
future interviews

BY SANJAY REDDY

Daily Staff Reporter

Tuesday afternoon, 30 stu-

dents convened in the Student
Activities Center to consider
ethical questions in medicine.

Hosted by the Career Cen-

ter, the long-running event was
originally designed to introduce
undergraduate pre-medical stu-
dents to the ethical issues phy-
sicians face on a daily basis. The
program also provides critical
exposure to the kinds of ethi-
cal questions posed in medical
school admission interviews.

The event featured a presen-

tation by Emergency Medicine
Prof. Andrew Barnosky, who
has led the session since its

inception. Barnosky stressed
the importance of exposing stu-
dents to medical ethics issues
early on in their careers.

“(It) allows them to gain

some degree of orientation and
familiarity with issues that
will become of growing impor-
tance as they advance in their
careers,” he said.

During the presentation, Bar-

nosky discussed ethical issues
currently generating intense
debate in the medical field,
including
physician-assisted

suicide, abortion and stem cell
research and physician profit
motives.

Barnosky put these topics

into the context of a medical
school interview, explaining to
students how best to approach
controversial
questions.
He

emphasized that there’s no one
correct answer to these ethical
dilemmas: No matter what you
answer, he said, doctors need to
convey to the interviewers that
you will put patient interests

above your own and promote
fair treatment for all patients.

A Q&A session followed the

talk. Students in the audience
volunteered to read controver-
sial medical ethics questions
aloud and share their likely
response if they were faced
with the situation in the field.

University
alum
Andrea

Berkemeier, who said she is
applying to medical school dur-
ing the 2016 application cycle,
said she found the event useful.

“I felt that the question-

answer session at the end was
very helpful,” Berkemeier said.
“It was framed in a very posi-
tive, constructive way.”

Berkemeier added that, as a

pre-med student, opportunities
to work with these issues are
hard to find.

“As a pre-medical student

you don’t necessarily have the
opportunity to address and
think about these questions
until you are preparing for
medical school interviews,” she
said.
