This year ‘the elections began with a few puffed-up egos and ended in a ‘paroxysm of apathy. A good election, it is said, should be run on the basis of the issues. But when every candidate runs on the same issues with the same position, wha’ta ya gonna do? Someone did at least think to set up an evening’s forum for the candidates to speak their minds, an event which was heavily attended by all of twelve students, most of whom were candidates. But then who needs to bother with such trivial things when you already know who you like and who your vote’s going to. I guess it’s true of every high school college university election, but damn, the S.A.I. is nothing but a popularity contest. You know that, I know it, and Louie “Landslide” Perez knew it when he ran against Pete (George McG.) Thaddeus. So from now on why don’t we just dispense with President and Vice-Presi- dents and just vote for Most Popular, Cutest, and Most Likely To Succeed. Seriously I wish the Perez administration all the best, they really seem to have a lot going for them. But just remember to watch your step, because Pete and the Fourth Estate will be watching closer than ever. Why is this man smiling? i =e = oe Laren - ‘ | SOPHMORE= RES. lovac

Sure you know the scene. You’ve been here with friends and you’ve stood here alone. Its the best entertainment in the world, people. People living their lives, on their way to class or on their way home—but they stop here for a while. Stop to say Hi!, or stop to see what your answer was on the exam. Stop to talk about the game or stop to make a date for the weekend. Just to stop for a second or because there’s no place else to go. It’s great! It’s like a play with acts on three stages at once (or maybe I’m thinking of a three ring circus). It’s like Hollywood and Vine, stand here long enough and everyone comes by. Look, there’s Peyton and Tim on first—who’s the game with today, who’s got the edge and who’s that frosh Biloxi’s tryin’ to put the move on—nice! Who’s on second? Pete and Kevin—there’s a paper to be put out, what’s the news that’s fit to print at St. Eddies? Who’s that on third? Been in every class I’ve had here and I still don’t know. Here are people talking, laughing, fighting, running, waiting, staring—God!, it’s almost like the real world. 125
