Ken IV Ray AityccM. dcci on chairman, grimly examines ihe massive petition that ensured that Hank's student government election votes would be counted and released to the public Hank's campaign manager. Steve Patterson, shows his ght, HANK THE HALLUCINATION WINS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION Hank T. Hallucination, the creation of law student and Eyebeam cartoonist Sam Hurt, was elected president of the Students' Association, the newly formed student government for The University of Texas at Austin campus, in a campus-wide election held on November 10. 1982. Hank garnered 3.013 write-in votes, defeating Paul Begaia (1.327 votes) and Pat Duval (1.486 votes). Law students almost exclusively handled the Vote Your Mind campaign. Hank announced his candidacy in Hurt's Eyebeam comic strip, which ran everyday in The Daily Texan, and law student Steve Patterson served as campaign manager. A support group of law students banded for the duration of the campaign under the label Society for Hallucination Integration of Texas (S.H.l.T.). Unfortunately, law student Ray Albrecht, election chairman, disallowed Hank's victory, and called a November 17 runoff which Begaia ultimately won; the S.H.l.T.s did not petition for Hank's inclusion in the runoff since they already considered him the student government president. Accordingly. Hank supporters hosted an Inaugural Ball on Friday. December 3. donned formal attire, and toasted the presidential victor. Hank’s term of office was cut short on December 8. when he was gunned down on the West Mail by a chiid'sfinger. after surviving two previous assassination attempts involving real bullets. 30 — The School
