Ballot Booths - A New Experience Speeches were given and ballots cast during the Student Cooperative Association’s elec- tion. Students running for the office of presi- dent were Kenneth Bolton, Alice Hiner, and Robert Lee. Those competing for the office of vice president were Mark Finch and Mike Reaves. The candidates gave speeches and answered questions asked by the students. Afterwards everyone shared in the experience of using the voting machines for the first time.
