1976 Cactus Yearbook In 1970, the big word in campus politics was radical. After almost eight months of continual campus unrest, radical candidate Jeff Jones emerged as the Student Government president. Jones focused on untradi- tional issues throughout the traditional University election, receiving 5,885 of the 10,121 votes cast, with only $40 in campaign expenditures. Many speculated about the future of the University with a radical Student Gov- ernment president, a traditional administration and a conservative state legislature. In the Student Government elections of 1976, Jay Adkins and Skip Sly- field drafted an Arts and Sausages platform for their Absurdist Party. If elected, Adkins and Slyfield promised to change the University ' s motto on the Main Building to Money Talks and to sponsor a different spectacle each month. Tiring of political antics, voters opted to abolish the Students Associa- tion, April 1978, claiming that the body squandered $42,000 of appropriated funds with little, if any, voice in administrative matters. Despite the stu- dents ' push to abolish Student Government, the final decision rested with the regents ' vote. Where once a scurry of political activity flourished, later an empty mall remained. In 1979, the big word in campus politics was extinct. 1979 Cactus Yearbook 9
