Electing A New Government This spring, four students were elected as Student Gov- ernment ' s new executive board. Elections lasted for two days and the turnout was excellent. The increased turnout could have been caused by the number of write-in candi- dates. Both Marion Sowinski and Jim Wing ran as write-in candidates for the office of President. Duncan Donahue was the only Presidential candidate who was listed on this year ' s ballot. The remaining officers ran unopposed and succeeded in receiving their qualifying number of votes. The small number of candidates should not, in any way, lessen the importance of the Government ' s role. The best students were elected to do a challenging job. With the change in the drinking age, this year ' s executive board must work to insure that social life on campus does not suffer. Other areas under concern are: The increased aca- demic load and its adverse effect i.e. vandalism, student businesses and their role on campus and student ' s represen- tation in administrational decisions. President Duncan Donahue, Vice President John Zim- mer, Treasurer Bob Katz and Secretary Bob Levine are the four students who will do their best to represent every student ' s rights and interests. 138 mBmmmaMam

. . And The Door Was Locked Once the fire, on the third floor of Central, was out numer- ous questions arose. What caused the fire? Which room was it in? Who pulled that floor ' s fire extinguisher box off the wall? And most importantly, why was it locked inside a closet? The answers show that no one expected a fire. But, that is the problem, no one ever expects a fire. For this reason, students should always be ready. Carelessness is the prime ingredient to disasters. Fortunately, we can say that no one was hurt and damage was kept to a minimum. For the future, student s can see that fire is a real danger; It moves quickly, it causes massive damage and it kills. 139
