In Student Body Elections Leaders Emerge Undaunted by general apathy toward the elections, 14 sophomores and juniors chose to accept the challenge of student body office nominations, and although four offices ran unopposed, there were some close races. After presenting campaign speeches in a special assembly, candidates started a hard week of selling themselves — utilizing cards, colorful posters, and person-to-person contact to win votes. A week later voting took place to determine new officers,and due to close results, a runoff was necessary for president. After the final ballots were tallied the following people were chosen to lead the student body for the year 1974-75: Daryle Rico, president; Alan Mitchell, vice president; Christy Carlson, secretary; Norma Kollen, treasurer; David Fackler, parliamentarian; Vicki Tola and Virginia Forseth, co-ads managers; and Brad Jorgensen, concessions manager.
