E . Students' letter causes store closingg - new resolutions bring controversy by Anne Schwenk Highlighting a busy year for StuCo were issues concerning the publication of voting results for next year's officers, an open lunch program, and the clos- ing of the StuCo-sponsored store. All candy was removed from the store, Wednesday, March 10. Mr. Mar- vin Lindmark said the student council- run, student store made profits of 352,000 a year offering Chrisman jac- kets, T-shirts, shorts, car stickers, school supplies, chewing gum, assort- ed candies, and other items. The school store also operated the cafeteria soda pop machines. The removal of these items was the result of a letter sent to the Missou- ri Department of Education by senior Jeff Johnson. Johnson's letter ex- plained that carbonated beverages and certain candies were being sold at Chrisman in apparent violation of the federal ruling. If the school had been Student Council Design by Jeff Radel caught not complying with the federal regulations, there would have been a chance that it would have lost cafeteria food subsidies totalling S110,000. I am upset that it is closed. The store was here for the students and now it is gone, said StuCo president Sherrie Kelley, I think he fJohnsonl has a right to his own opinion, but he took it too far. I am sure that a lot of students agree with me. In defense of his actions Johnson said, I realize a lot of people are out of pop and candy during lunch, but what I did will be advantageous in the long run. The government is clamping down on waste and fraud, and if they found out on their own, we would have been busted worse. The school has a choice between the pop machines and a hun- dred thousand dollars a year for the district's entire lunch program. Representatives passed two con- troversial resolutions in February. One of these proposed by senior Jerry Huff- man, stated that students should be allowed to wear shorts to school begin- ning in March. Since this would amend the school rules regarding appropriate school attire, the final decision was left to Principal Thomas Herrick, who said he would probably not approve it. Shorts are designed for outdoor wear. I don't think they add anything to the school, he said. The second resolution presented by Johnson, allowed the publication of elections results. In opposition Kelley said, There is no re'ason to humiliate a student in front of the entire school - if a student loses by a landslide, he or she deserves to be spared that embarrassment. The paper doesn't seem to realize that they are dealing with high school elections, not an election for a town or city. There is quite a difference between the two.
