The words Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness demand activity. These are the words that spurred the colonies to action, and even today these words inspire us to be active. Existing is not enough. We have to do more than just be aliveg we must live. Our years of college are more than long hours spent pondering over books, writing research papers, and studying for tests. The talents and skills we possess, the pleasure and happiness we seek, and the satisfaction we get from being involved all motivates us to be active.,We have a desire within us to entertain and to be entertained 3 we wantto perform, to dance, to play, to sing, to compete, and to achieve, We want to be a part of the world. ai, b . -1 5' f Mrs. Sue McCrossen, Bruce Power, Dick Wise and Diane Perkins.

'Know the Facts' Spring comes, and once again people begin stirring. Days grow longer and warmer, and winter fades into memory. The grass turns from brown to green, bare tree limbs are covered by leaves, suddenly littleflowers appear everywhere, and just as suddenly candidates for the Student Senate appear. Every wall on every building is papered with posters saying Vote for ,for Student Senate , and Know the Facts . On every poster, the candidates name blazes boldly in clear large letters. As the campaign intensifies, the candidates pass out cigars, suckers, and leaflets, telling of their plans, and some even do some old fashioned handshaking and speechmaking. The American system of politicing, made famous by people like Henry Clay, Abe Lincoln, the Roose- velts, and Lyndon Johnson, still flourishes, even at the col- lege level elections. In the Springi, elections for Student Senate officers and for senators were held. A large field of candidates entered the race, campaigned, and spoke at the Meet the Candidates portion of the Flea Market. Clear cut issues aroused the interests of the student body. Discussions, and occasional, arguments took place over the issues and the candidates. ln two days of voting, over four hundred students, a record number, cast ballots. The officers elected were Christy El- kins, presidentg David Arnold, vice-presidentg Andrea Lam- bert, treasurerg and senators elected were Lana Adams, Rusty Allen, and Becky Goff. l rge eil? .
