Adam Humann’s day planner says it all.

Every event is scheduled. Every line is scripted. Every minute is accounted for.

Campaigning with Humann is a whirlwind of activity — meeting with students in Willard one minute, debating fellow ASG presidential candidates the next. And he’s always available on his cell phone.

But if nothing else, Humann’s frenetic pace has helped get his name out.

“It’s like human being with two n’s,” said Humann, a two-year senator and the current student services vice president, while campaigning Tuesday in Willard Residential College.

To Humann, it’s the name — and the Associated Student Government experience — that he hopes will give him an advantage.

“I already have a more recognizable name,” he said, “but I still need to get the message out. It makes things easier this year because people will be like, ‘Oh yeah, I know what you’ve done.'”

As student services vice president, Humann has worked to improve food services and tried to create a video rental service for students. He also lobbied the administration for a Midnight Madness pep rally to open the basketball season, and for improvements in student escort services after a series of campus robberies.

Regardless, he is hitting the campaign trail hard, not only making sure everyone knows his name, but likes it.

“It’s not that often that a candidate will stop by your room,” he told a Willard resident. “So if you have any complaints, there’s no better time.”

Centered around community-building at NU, Humann’s platform includes several ways to re-invigorate the Lakefill. At the top of his list are paddleboats and ice skating in the Lagoon, as well as building an amphitheater for students.

“It would really liven things up,” said Humann, who also wants to create a Northwestern Community Programming Council, composed of A-status student groups, to organize large-scale events such as a Homecoming carnival.

But Humann keeps an eye on small-scale concerns. One Willard resident complained that her extracurriculars interfered with the dorm’s dining hours.

Humann told her to send him an e-mail so he will have a concrete example to show administrators when he makes suggestions about food services and extending hours.

“People think you’re not just a politician when you go door to door,” he said. “I don’t like being called a politician even though I am one.”

Humann may avoid the label, but he boasts a massive campaign staff that never actually meets in one room, conducting most planning by phone or e-mail.

“If I had my whole staff in one room, it’d be almost 75 people,” Humann said.

Humann’s interactions with students this week provided him with a goal: If elected, he wants students to understand ASG.

“A large part of my time (would be) spent telling people what we do,” Humann said. “The mantra of ‘ASG does nothing’ will always be here. But it’s frustrating for the people who put in all the time.”

After presidential candidate Eric Svendsen dropped out of the race Wednesday, only two candidates — Humann and Speech junior Stefan Beck — remain in the field.

“I could run unopposed or I could run against 50 people, and campaigning wouldn’t be fun,” Humann said. “I don’t change the way I’m going to get my message out based on how many people are running.”

And if he meets enough students, people might just start paying attention to his platform, which Humann said builds on his efforts on the Executive Board this year.

And while some students may see Humann’s ASG résumé as a negative, Humann said he has made a difference in students’ lives as student services vice president.

“I might be Mr. ASG, but I’m Mr. ASG who’s worked for students all year,” he said. “My platform last year wasn’t just empty promises.”

Weinberg junior Jazmin Portis, one of Humann’s campaign managers, said she doesn’t think Humann’s ASG involvement will hurt his campaign — his platform is too strong.

“If they’re willing to listen to what he has to say, it won’t make a difference,” Portis said.

Humann said an effective ASG president must have solid relationships with administrators.

“If you don’t know people in the administration and know about lobbying, you won’t be successful,” Humann said.

Humann said he has already formed a relationship with Vice President for Student Affairs Peggy Barr’s probable successor after working on a search committee to find her replacement.

That means cable TV in the dorms by 2002, Humann told one Willard student Tuesday, promising a better relationship with the new VP.

Improving the way ASG lobbies the administration is another key aspect of Humann’s platform. He plans to combine lobbying efforts of ASG and organizations such as the Residential Hall Association and the Interfraternity Council, hoping to present a more united student voice to administrators.

But for now, only the campaign is on his mind. Late in his room Tuesday night, he and his campaign manager Josh Rickel were creating a new poster featuring Humann’s mug.

“You want ‘Adam Humann’ bigger, right?” asked Rickel, a Speech junior.

“Yeah, correct it,” Humann said. “I want my name to be huge.”
