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.

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. CSG talks sexual assault 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.
