’84 Election student involvement Furnished with the state and national flags, Orono was host to Governor Rudy Perpich, Senator Rudy Boschwitz, Representative Gerry Sikorski, and political hopeful Pat Trueman. After much hard work on Ms. Sjeklo-cha's part, many students had the opportunity to hear the candidates ideas through their introductory statements. A wide variety of questions asked by students about pertinent topics included drunk driving, abortion, ERA, acid rain, and the deficit. Senator Boschwitz stressed national arms control and jokingly added a comment about the Boschwitz family’s lack of control of their own arms. Through this rare and unique experience, Orono students were encouraged to become more politically active and definitely more conscious of this country’s political machine.
