H ft o e n Above: The Kick-Off had a big turn out Left: Pam Vann and Sharon Knight prepared the audience for election speeches. The Elections Board got everyone excited for the upcoming elections. The Meredith elections board worked hard to make this year ' s elections involve more students and be more fun and they succeeded. Sharon Knight, co-chair of the elections board, said their work had paid off because students were more enthusiastic about running and voting in the elections. The theme for the freshman elections was Get Carried Away, but their feeling seemed to be present in all the elections. There was a greater number of students running than in the past. This provided good competition and resulted in more offices being filled. The statistics from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd slates were as follows: 1st Slate 52% Total Students Voted Runoff 32% Students 2nd Slak 42% Students Runoff 24% Students 3rd Slate Rising Seniors 44% Students Rising Juniors 28% Students Rising Sophomores 52% Students Special Elections 14% Students Congratulations to all the winners!!!

Fun in the Sun On April 20, 1986, the island and ampitheater at Meredith was transformed into The Celebration of the Year! You celebrated the annual Spring Fling and, this year, you had it Mardi Gras style. Bright yellow, purple, green, and orange beads decorated Meredith women and their guests. The warm day perfect for eating yogurt, throwing frisbees, and canoeing. Blankets covered the island as you sat and listened or got up and danced to entertainment provided by Fat Amnion ' s Band and The Fabulous Waller Family. It was a Sunday afternoon of fun in the sun for you and your friends! Student Life
